Even though I think books are the best ever, I need a reminder sometimes. I so often find myself swept up in sewing or just looking for eye candy on the internet (I'm lookin' at you Pinterest) that I think I don't read as much as I should. So, in order to give myself a little reminder as well as a fun and useful tote, I created this "Read More Books" iron-on transfer design. I've had this DIY Printable in mind for a few months now and I'm so excited with how it turned out.
To make your own "Read More Books" tote bag you will need a tote and some iron on transfer paper. You can make your own tote (see my tutorial here) or use a pre-made one. You could also iron this design on a t-shirt or anything else made of fabric.
Printers operate differently but usually when you set your printer media to "Iron on transfer" it will automatically flip the design horizontally. I recommend doing a test print on regular paper to make sure it flips before printing on the iron on transfer paper. I found that the color was blacker when I did not use the "Iron on transfer" preset. So, I've included an already reversed version just in case.

Wow, ths is gorgeous! You know what? I think this would also make a great t-shirt: some advertising for the hand-held book. I don't consider e-books as the same...they are just a series of web pages to me. Web pages that will slowly degrade my eyesight.
ReplyDeletepretty cute. and thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteand yes! people should read more books (but the paper version please). ebooks on web or readers aren't the same :(

Thank you guys! I actually love my kindle because I can have a bunch of books in little lightweight package. It's super easy on the eyes too so it doesn't feel like a screen. But I will never give up the real paper book.
ReplyDeleteI put this on a grey sweatshirt today and it turned out great! It was my first attempt at printing and using an iron on transfer. A reading themed sweatshirt is hard to find. Plus, the sweatshirt was on clearance for $3.50! Can't wait to wear it tomorrow when I sub in the library with jeans on casual Friday!
