Welcome to the letter I in the
A to Z Challenge for 2018. For this year's challenge I am working my way through the alphabet in Michaels Arts and Crafts store. At Michaels, the letter I stands for Iron-On.
There is a whole section of iron-on transfers that you can use to personalize almost anything. T-shirts are the most common but you can use them for decorating an apron for mom for Mother's Day or a reusable shopping bag that we all need to carry now in California.

| They have lots of different styles and colors |
 |
| Catchy phrases and pictures too |
If you are planning a family reunion, you can spell out the family name or your family motto and the date to remember the event.
 |
| Many different styles and colors of the alphabet to spell out your own messages. |
These are the T-shirt boards you put in between the T-shirt when you are doing the ironing.
Here are just a few examples:
 |
| Tie-dye alphabet |
 |
| butterflies |
 |
| Mandalas |
 |
| dream catchers - lol |
 |
| I love this peacock. |
 |
| terrific words of inspiration |
The good thing about Iron-ons is that they are relatively easy to use and much neater than using glitter, although with something like the peacock or even the "dream catcher" above I might add some glitter and with the "Follow your dreams..." I might use some fabric paint to outline the words...so many possibilities!
Have you used iron-ons? Gone to a family reunion with matching T-shirts? Lemme know and make sure to stop by the
other A to Zers.
(Note: I decided I should add a disclaimer to these posts because I certainly don't want to give the idea that I am being paid by Michaels to do this or that they are furnishing me with material. All pictures used in this blog series were taken by me at local Michaels stores, or are my personal pictures and every Michaels store may not have everything shown.)
