Leslie Riley's Transfer Artist Paper

This wonderful product is the winner of the Craft and Hobby Association's (CHA) Most Innovative Product Award at the recent 2011 Winter CHA Conference. This polymer coated paper allows you to transfer your imagination into art. This Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) is a premium-quality transfer paper that allows you to transfer images to virtually any surface with the heat of an iron. It works great on a wide variety of surfaces, including fabric, paper, wood, glass, metal, and more! You can print on it using an inkjet printer, as well as paint, stamp or draw images on to TAP. Iron it onto your surface and the transferred images are crisp and colorfast. The print on the fabric is washable and crack resistant. Transfers can be layered over each other, as well as over stamps, watercolor paints and printed paper.

The package also comes with a sheet of Silicone Release Paper (available in packages of twelve sheets for $9.95) and complete instructions.

Mom bought us Buster Brown shoes 'cause they would last the whole year! The advertising line for Buster Brown was: Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe.  That's my dog Tige. He lives in there too! The Brown S hoe C ompany has been around for over 130 years. Today they also market Famous Footwear and Naturalizers, and they are a contract manufacturer for other shoe brands.  But they are most well-known for the Buster Brown line of shoes.
