How to get started printing your own fabric transfers
To create your own DIY baby onesies, you’ll need:
- An inkjet printer
- A smart device
- Internet connection
- A free Avery account
- Printable fabric transfers
Before starting, it’s important to match the right fabric transfer to the material you’re working with to get the best results.
Quick guide to choosing a transfer based on fabric
Fabric Color & Stretch | Fiber Content | Transfer Product |
---|---|---|
Light White Minimal Stretch | 100% Cotton Cotton blend | Light |
Light White Stretchy | Synthetic Synthetic blend | Stretchable |
Black Dark Minimal Stretch | 100% Cotton Cotton blend | Dark |
Light Dark Minimal Stretch | 100% Cotton Cotton blend | Glitter Glow-in-the-Dark |
The next step is to make sure that your smart device is connected to your inkjet printer and the internet. It’s important to only use fabric transfers with inkjet printers as the heat from laser printers can melt the transfers!
Once that’s settled, log in or create a free Avery account to use our Avery Design and Print Online (ADPO) software. ADPO allows you to edit, print, and save Avery templates at no cost. Not only is the software free, but there is nothing to download or install.
