I simply printed it on iron-on transfer paper at 4x6 size (you can get two on a page) using <i>Photoscape</i>, a free photo editing download, and them cut it out, leaving a small bit around the edges. Next, I followed the directions on the package of transfer paper (I used Avery brand for light fabrics) to add the image to a flour sack kitchen towel (mine came from Target). <i>And that’s it!</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2C1erLN8VkVYCA4woE_HVMpop-Ap4NMndQxhzTtLVxuLNGUSy3HsF1jVbchMkA82hccNwo2Cs4BqMaYYyOQ7zz24GVh8NPmxhFZy4GXfwbPV8wlZf0xXomKeASeWneAz5G-AG4BIQtDjz/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520Mason%252520Jar%252520Tea%252520Towels3%25255B20%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Mason Jar Tea Towels" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0Gwwekx8BUNiiybJf2fp_mvxjJH-GVSLVsuaT6smTHRYRqqja1GQwxzIrfl2zn1ORUsfmETGyzn_2XTt9K9zS4fYOnBOQmcWaeodpy85TyswE-rOFRBo0K3L3bEokOHOJGC32qM0S85r/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px;
