If yours isn’t waterproof, you can try to set it with Vinegar using this Tutorial. I use an Epson Printer with Pigment ink that’s waterproof. Gorgeous right?!! And so easy! The print is amazingly crisp and clear, I just love doing this! You can peel off your Freezer Paper now (I’m told you can reuse it, up to 10 times, so you can save it and iron it on to another piece of fabric. I have no idea why and hopefully yours won’t do that! For some reason it usually takes a few times for my printer to recognize it, it usually sends the fabric through a few times, with out printing, and I have to keep putting it back in until it decides to accept it. Step 5: Stay right with the printer and guide the fabric through if needed. This will put a nice amount of ink on your fabric, for the best quality image. When you hit the print button and get the pop up window, you should have some type of button for “Printer Preferences” click on that and select “Best Photo” and then print. Make sure you have it placed so that the ink prints on the fabric side and not the paper side. Important: Make sure you don’t have any frayed edges, and that the fabric does not overhang the paper! You don’t wanted it snagging in your printer and getting stuck! You could measure it out and draw lines on it instead. I use a piece of printer cardstock as a pattern, to make sure the size is exact. Step 2: Trim up the fabric and Freezer paper to exactly 8 1/2″ by 11″.
Cut out a section of freezer paper, approximately 8 1/2″ by 11″, and iron it (shiny side facing towards the fabric) to the fabric until it adheres nicely. ( I like to print on Canvas Drop Cloth, because it takes the ink beautifully, and you can get a lot of fabric for the money, it also goes nicely through my printer). Step 1: Start with a freshly ironed piece of fabric. :/Īnyway, this method is super easy, just follow the steps below! As you can tell my box is about 200 years old … I guess I don’t freeze a lot of stuff. It’s shiny on one side and dull on the other. In case you’re not familiar with it, it’s paper that’s used to wrap up food in order to freeze it. I thought I would show you a photo of the Freezer Paper, because I know in other parts of the world, it might be called something else, so I thought this might help. I call it the Freezer Paper Method because … it uses Freezer Paper … and also because … I’m super creative like that when it comes to thinking up names for various craft methods.
Today I’m sharing a fun way and economical way to print on fabric, using your home Inkjet Computer! I think this is probably the cheapest method of all.
