Attaching Your Patterns - Part Three

There are a couple of other ways that we have not covered for attaching patterns. Labels, the kind that you get from the office supply store, full sheet labels (8-1/2" x 11"). After you have printed your pattern out on the label, you need to apply either blue painters tape or clear package sealing tape all around your wood, at least on the face or top section. Now carefully apply your pattern, as you probably won't get a second chance, this stuff sticks tenaciously, thats why you applied the tape first, to help make pattern removal easy.

There is a product called Wonder Paper made by Jason of Hays, Ks. This product is made just for the purpose of printing patters on. If you order the small box of 25 sheets, its about 50 cents a sheet. That might seem expensive at first, but by the time you calculate the materials and your time, it might just be a real bargain if it prevents your project from being trashed.

The last method is the iron on tee shirt transfers. You can buy these at craft stores and office supply stores (they're with the labels). I haven't tried this method, but it looks like it has some possibilities.
