Once you find your design, you’ll need water slide transfer paper.

Find Something to Transfer the Design Onto

Water slide paper is available for ink jet printers and laser printers so check to see what type of printer you have.

Cut Out Your Design

You’ll need a sharp pair of scissors and cut as close to the design as possible because you don’t white trim around your art. (Unless you do then leave it)

This step is like a temporary tattoo application. You’ll need water and a sponge/cloth to apply to back of paper.

Peel Off Paper Slowly
