Download the Free Dreamcatcher Printable here! The file will be a pdf document. Open it and print it on an iron-on transfer sheet using your ink jet printer. Be sure to follow the Transfer Magic Transfer Paper’s instructions on printing your file. You will need to make sure you select the “mirror”, “flip” or “reverse” setting on your printer so the artwork prints as a mirror image.

Once your Dreamcatcher coloring page is printed onto the iron-on transfer paper, you will need to cut around the art leaving a little but of white area around the edges of the drawing.

Iron your white canvas bag to remove the wrinkles. Once the canvas bag is cool to the touch, place the cut out drawing face-down on top of your white canvas bag in the position that you want it. I centered it in the middle of the bag.

Using a hot iron on the hottest setting (with no steam), press down on the iron-on transfer paper and keep moving the iron around with lots of pressure for about 3 minutes. Let cool completely.

Once the bag and transfer are completely cool, carefully peel away the backing of the iron-on transfer sheet to remove it completely. You will see your Dreamcatcher drawing facing upright and attached to the canvas bag.
