So I have been anxious to try this new printing on fabric thing that I have seen all over Bloggersville. I had a little bit of extra fabric left over from my drop cloth slipcover project so I thought I would try it out! Look how cute this is!!! What a fabulous invention! Kudos to whomever came up with this idea….
I thought I would give a little tutorial because this is SUPER easy!!!
Here is your supply list:* Spray Adhesive
* Printer Paper or Card Stock
* Ink Jet Printer
*Scissors
*Cotton Canvas or Linen ( Must be a tight weave)
* Piece of newspaper to protect your table surface
I have an embroidery machine so I used a spray adhesive that I already had. You can use any kind of spray adhesive you want to as long as its re positional. You don’t want it to permanently stick. I tried using both card stock and regular printer paper and they both worked great. I layed out some newspaper and sprayed the adhesive onto the paper. I then placed my fabric on top making sure that it was taught and smooth with no bubbles or wrinkles. Then I trimmed all around the paper, making sure that no strings were hanging. I would hate to know what those would do to our printers! When you are done, it should look like a piece of paper size 8.5×11.
Make sure you come back tomorrow! I’m going to show you how to make this adorable little burlap flower!! If you liked this tutorial, please share it with someone!
I will be sharing this at the following parties!
Blessings,

Girl love the pillow looks great!!! I use my computer to make some of my pillows. When and if you use burlap I just get that wide masking tape and fold it over at the end that feeds into the printer and it prints great. I think the masking tape gives the printer something to catch on. Great job!!

That is a great idea! Now, I just wish I had not switched from ink jet to laser a couple of years ago

Love it! Very clever. You can also iron freezer paper to the back of your fabric to stabilize it for printing. I see some new "faux grainsack" pillows in my future.

I absolutely cannot get it to go through the dang printer. I have it ironed onto some freezer paper, that didn't work, so added another sheet of paper to that AND taped it for something to hold onto and it starts, but won't get into the rollers….

What a great idea – just one of many on your site!
I tried this on my printer and it does indeed work. I used Krylon spray adhesive, which cost about $8 Canadian from an art supply store. I taped off the top and sides of the paper/fabric with masking tape for good measure and to reduce the chance of “catches” in my printer. The image printed onto my cotton fabric beautifully but just to be sure, I ironed the image to try to set it and then gave the printed fabric a rinse … Unfortunately it is not at all color fast
Is there any way to set the image so that that a cushion cover could be washable?
You are so inspirational – keep up the great work!
Thanks
Hey Selina! I know you can heat set it with an iron. I would do a test run first to see what happens. Other than that I don’t know. If you find a product that works let me know too!
