Days-of-the-week socks and underwear are lots of fun. Use these free iron-ons to make a set for yourself, your kids or to give as a gift.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 30 minutes or less

Here's How:

  1. Print out one of the days-of-the-week iron-ons, following the instructions that came with your iron-on paper. There are two designs to choose from:

    Option 1
    Option 2

  2. Allow your iron-ons to dry before you use them. Most manufacturers recommend waiting 30 minutes.

  3. Cut each day out separately, leaving a 1/8-inch border around the design.
  4. Position the first day of the week on the garment that you want to transfer it to, image side down.
  5. Iron it on, following the instructions that came with your iron-on paper.
  6. Repeat the process until you have a complete set of days of the week socks or undies.

Tips:

  1. Wash your socks or underwear before you start to get the sizing out of them
  2. Watch the big-box office supply stores for free-after-rebate deals on iron-on paper
