Printing your own design on fabric can save you loads of money, especially if you have the perfect design in mind. Cloth transfer sheets can be very expensive, and you can't always find the design you want for that special project you may have in mind.You can print your own designs on fabric using freezer paper and an ink jet computer printer. All you need to do is cut your fabric and a piece of freezer paper to 8.5" x 11", iron the fabric to the shiny side of the freezer paper, put the freezer backed paper into your ink jet printer, and wait for the printed paper to dry.
You can find freezer paper at your local supermarket. It is not cheap, but it is very handy for any kind of project you may need. I grew up on a farm, and we used freezer paper to wrap up all of our freshly butchered meat. My point? I am loving the fact that freezer paper can be used for so many different craft projects, including using freezer paper to stencil a design on a T-shirt.
