Printing on Muslin

This beautiful printed pillow is so EASY to make! For any who dosen't know about printing onto muslin this is how you do it. Iron butcher paper, the wax side down, onto your fabric; muslin is the common choice. Cut the size of your printer paper (typically 8.5 x 11) and then feed through the printer.

A few tips I've seen and have found when doing this, is you can not do this with a laser printer, only inkjet. A laser printer will actually burn the fabric. Second; you want to grubby or prim your fabric before printing on it. If you try to do this after, you will end up with ink running and not such a pretty picture.

This is a fantastic way to make your own feedsack pillows, and other endless possibilities. If you are in need of vintage photos, there are MANY free sites filled with beautiful vintage pictures.

Here are a few, and others may be found by searching Google and/or on Pintrest: http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.com http://afinefarmhouse.blogspot.com http://printable.tipjunkie.com/lunch-bag-favors-printables/
