Step 1
Print out your design onto iron-on transfer paper. If you want to use one of the designs I created, you can find them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ohthelovelythings/sets/72157632588255536/
If you're using your own design, don't forget to flip it so that it will read correctly on the fabric.
Step 2
Trim around the design leaving a tiny border around it.
Step 3
Position the image face down on your fabric and iron on over it slowly, using the highest cotton setting, no steam, for about 90 seconds. Make sure your design fully adheres to the fabric on all edges.
Step 4
Let the design cool, then carefully peel off the backing using firm and steady pressure.
Step 5
That's it! Carry your bag proudly.

Where do you get the transfer paper from? And that's pretty cool - we use a heat press at my textiles department, but ironing is a good way to do it at home ^^
