Get D.I.Y with it

So you know when you really want something but just can not seem to find it anywhere, well this happend to me this week and so I thought enough is enough and decided to do a D.I.Y version. My D.I.Y was a plain grey vest with an Aztec graphic on the front and here's how I did it...


Step 1: Design your graphic on either Photoshop or Illustrator, I use a Bamboo Pad to help draw easier on the screen. My design was fairly simple, just diamond shapes in the traditional Aztec colour pallet, symmetry was my theme.

Step 2: Print your design off onto transferable paper and follow pack instructions. For this design as it was quite big I had to spend quite a while heating it up and then to get my mat finish I used a piece of plain paper and gently ironed over it and the graphic for about 15 seconds then quickly peeled the paper off while it was still hot.


Step 3: Wash and leave your creation to dry and there you have a D.I.Y Aztec print vest ready to wear.

  1. That seems ridiculously easy, yay! Is transferable paper easy to find? I've never seen it for sale anywhere but maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places.

  2. Looks great! I'm in love with transferable paper, though I always seem to get it wrong. Sometimes using a good old sharpie does the trick!
