I would like to make curtain's but I want to put pictures on them from my camera and and hotpress them on or something.

I want to have patches of different patterns and then sew them all together to make the curtains. how would i go about doing that? by the way in a 15 year old student and its for my school project and this really interests me.


Hi Samantha

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Right the answer to your question is very simple.

you can buy iron on transfer paper. You take you photos on your digital camera. then upload them to your computer.

You then put the special heat transfer paper in to your printer. Then print your chosen photos on to it. One or many images what ever you want to do.

Then once your have printed your image on to the paper place it face side down on to the fabric you want to put the image on. Then use a hot steam iron and run it over the paper. This will transfer the image of the paper on to your fabric.

So you want to know the best place to get this special paper. Well click on the link here. The good news it does not cost a lot of money.
