A great way to make Christmas decorations and holiday presents and even the use of inkjet printer and some heat transfer equipment. These kits heat transfer are available at most craft stores or office supply stores. You can assemble your own components or go with the kit that includes everything you need.

These are great family projects and that the only limitation is your imagination in coming up with different decorations. You can even make Christmas gifts and special custom t-shirts or other fabric items such as Christmas stockings. Children of all ages can participate, but when it comes to the part of heat transfer, the adult supervision is important.

This Christmas we had the grandkids for the day so their parents could go shopping. We decided that we want to entertain the kids make some new Christmas stockings for the family. We are surrounded by some elements necessary for us to finish everything for the end of the day.

There are some basics you need for this type of project:

– Material for making socks, bought two all white and red and green cotton T-shirts to cut from the heat taken well and are easy to cut the design.
– Document Transfer Heat, you can buy it by itself or in a kit with additional software and images.
– Pair of scissors, red and green thread, sewing needle, glue, and various colors brightness.
– Software for the position of the images for printing, you can find many free software for editing photos online.

The first thing we did was take out the shirts and socks. We used the bent edges on one side and pointed to a form of boot stitched side. We needed to do four half and has two means by t-shirt. Once we had our boots cut our needles threaded with red and green thread and sewed the outside of the boot design.

Now we were ready to design our image to be transferred to the medium. We had already collected some free Christmas clipart of many websites (make sure that is not owned) on the Internet. You can also buy these at the craft or office supply store or get a kit that includes works of art to the transfer. We let children decide what to put in each population and also included the names or sayings like Merry Christmas.

There are a few things to take into account the images transferred. First, make sure all the design meets the area to be transferred to its material. And secondly, you need to use a mirror image because the transfer will be reading an image right into the final product. Almost all the photographs or images of software has this ability to inject Ink and many printers can do so at the time of printing. Remember also that the white areas are not printed, so think about what the image will appear the color of your material.

We transfer the image before adding more glued to the material or frost. But you could do it anyway, always you keep the area free transfer of the other decorative elements. After the transfer of different Christmas shapes cut from red and green t-shirts for Paste in the media. And you can also use glue to write things and then sprinkle the glitter on a big effect.

Our grandchildren are very young (6 and 7 years) and so do a lot of the work under his supervision. But older children can do much more and allow them to participate as much as possible with the exception of the real part of heat transfer. That is strictly off limits due to burns of course possible and materials destroyed.

I think the total cost of items purchased was around $ 25. It was a fun day for everyone involved. We even had plenty of leftovers for The next craft project. And the kids have something to take home and show their parents. So all in all it was worth the price.

These types of craft projects could fit almost any popular holiday, besides Christmas. And as children get older they can begin to participate more and more projects. Our 7 years, granddaughter planned to take some pictures of Christmas this year, especially for transfers next year. Overall is a great way to spend a day with your children or grandchildren.
