T-shirts are ideal for transfers and can be used with other decorative elements to create custom designs for anyone. After copying an image onto transfer paper and applying it to the T-shirt, colored gems, rhinestones and crystals can be hot-glued onto the outline of the transfer to create sparkly T-shirt designs.
Homemade greeting cards offer the opportunity to put your transfer to use. Use transfer paper to copy and transfer images from coloring books to the homemade greeting card, then decorate the card with glitter, paints, crayons or tissue paper.
Transfer paper can be used to transfer any design onto a wood surface. This makes it the perfect tool for creating signs and plaques. After transferring a design onto the wood surface of your choice, use a wood burning pen or carving tool to deepen the lines or even make detailed relief carvings.
Transfer your favorite images to a piece of poster board or even a canvas, making the lines in light pencil. Use oil or acrylic paints to go over the transferred image to end up with custom paintings or posters that can be framed and displayed in any room of your home. Visitors will never know you used transfer paper to create the works of art.
Use transfer paper to transfer complex images onto fabric for making quilts. You can also transfer images onto beach bags and curtains. If you have leftover fabrics, transfer an image onto them and cut out as coverings for jars you can use in the kitchen to hold spices or candy. Make a custom painted tablecloth, wall hanging or even place settings for your table by transferring themed images onto these materials and finishing them with fabric paint.
