Air Freshener Blank Iron-On Transfers!

~Air Freshener Blank Iron-On Transfers~
 
Our popular Air Freshener Blanks are extremely popular year-round. 
These blanks are able to be scented in any fragrance you desire, while sporting your company's logo or a catchy phrase while hanging in your vehicle, home or office!


Materials needed:
-Iron-On T-shirt transfer paper (such as AVERY Ink Jet T-shirt Transfers)
-Clothing Iron


Step 1: Using the Word document program, create your text, photo, or graphic transfer design that you wish to use on your Air Freshener Blanks. 

*IMPORTANT! When you're happy with your transfer design, flip the image, using your software program or your printer. If you do not flip the image, the text will appear backwards when you iron the image on the Air Freshener Blank. If you need an image flipped, you can flip the image for free at www.flipapicture.com within seconds. 


               
                          ^BEFORE^  (incorrect)                           ^AFTER^ (correct)
               

Step 2: Make sure you print a test page on regular printer paper before printing onto the transfer paper. Printing a test page will allow you to judge whether your transfer design is the right size for the Air Freshener Blank that you plan to apply the transfer to, as well as to make sure that the image is correctly flipped so all text is correct. Holding the Air Freshener Blank over the transfer design, or holding up both the transfer design and the blank to a light or window will also work well.

*NOTE - The brighter the picture, the more clear the picture will transfer. Darker colors such as brown and blacks will tend to blend together rather than stand out.



Step 3: While working on a hard smooth surface that can withstand high heat, place a sheet of thin material, such as a pillow case between the hard surface and the Air Freshener Blank that you will be using with the transfer design.



Step 4: The Air Freshener Blanks are made from an absorbent compressed paper material. The ink that is applied to the transfer paper from your printer, will essentially be melted by the heat of the iron, into the surface material of the Air Freshener Blank.





Step 5: Using an Air Freshener Blank that has been scented and allowed to COMPLETELY dry for a few days, place the transfer design ink-side down, onto the Air Freshener Blank evenly along all edges. Using the iron, firmly press down onto the transfer and Air Freshener Blank for 2-3 seconds. Actually saying "One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi" is the appropriate time frame at which the iron should be directly pressed onto the transfer without releasing. Holding the iron onto the Transfer and Air Freshener Blank longer than this should not be necessary.

*NOTE: Applying fragrance oil to an Air Freshener Blank that has already had a transfer applied to it, may cause the ink of the transferred image to smear, run or quickly fade.










Step 6: Once you have applied the Transfer to the Air Freshener Blank, allow the Transfer and Blank to completely cool to room temperature before you attempt to remove the transfer paper film that covers the transfer design. Once cooled, carefully start peeling the paper film back at one of the corners. The film will sometimes come off with a bit of pressure, rather than quickly releasing from the design. CAREFULLY pull the transfer paper film back from the design.







Step 7: Poke a hole and attach an elastic cord for hanging, and you're all done. These package nicely in Resealable Cello Bags with a cute sticker for resale!
