CUSTOMIZE 18” DOLL TEES

by

To make an 18” doll t-shirt unique, add a personal or customized touch with an iron-on transfer. Consider your personal photos and artwork for transfer possibilities, or use the graphics provided at the bottom of this post.

There are two types of printable iron-on-transfers available at the sewing and office supply stores. 

 

The “for dark fabric” iron-on-transfer is a paper backed opaque white film that you print upon. For best results, use graphics or photography that can be cut out as a frame. These transfers actually can be used on dark or light fabric.

 

The “for light fabric” iron on transfer is a paper backed clear thin film that you print upon. The transfer is applied to fabric with the graphic face down, so graphic images with words need to be printed in reverse. Cut out the transfer loosely around the graphic.

 

Complete instructions for printing and applying transfers to fabric are included in the package. With a little practice, your results will be perfect. One assist is to use a pin or needle to help separate the transfer film from the backing.

If you would like to use the graphics shown in the photos, click the artwork below to view and print. Print out is sized to fit 18” doll t-shirts. You also can use these graphics to gauge the size for your own artwork.
