• Pick an image or design that you want printed on the t-shirt and stick it on the sheet of printer paper.
• Scan the image and reverse it, then print it on a transfer paper.
• Take a plain t-shirt and place it on the ironing board. Cut the design print from the transfer paper and place it on the t-shirt.

• DIY Printed Shoes

If the person you’re planning to gift owns a pair of Canvas shoes, you’re in luck! You can just borrow it from them for a while and using a cool design print and the Bajaj Iron, transform them into the hottest fashion trend this festive season.

Supplies

Canvas Shoes

Method

• Print the pattern of your choice on the iron transfer paper.
• Cut the paper into the shape of the shoe or the places where you want to print. Use the Bajaj Iron to iron the pieces of paper little by little.
• Iron the pattern all over the shoes. You can use a pillowcase over the paper to avoid burning the print or the shoe.
• Once you’ve ironed on all the areas, peel off the paper slowly. Use the tip of the iron on any areas that you may feel haven’t been printed right.
• To complete the transformation, you can also replace the laces with ones that go well with the new pattern.
