Let’s Get Started!
I printed on two of these rugs for this tutorial so you may see it going back and forth between a yellow and a green rug! Either way, the steps are all the same!
 Â
First, choose the design you want to print. For the yellow one, I printed a store logo and on the green mat I printed a monogram inital. The flourish design set came from (here).
Print Design
Fold design in half and make a light crease on the top center
Spray with adhesive
Find the center and align the paper up where it needs to be
 Â
Once you have it in place, I use a stapler to make sure the paper won’t move in my two presses! You typically see through the paper where the design is printed and I staple in the blank area!
Cover with butcher paper and press!
Â
Time to press! based on where your press is and what is around it you can decide what side to press first. I press the right side first and then slide the right and press the left side. I pressed at 400 degrees for 75 seconds with medium to high pressure.
Â
All peel off the paper and enjoy!
XOXO,
Jane
