Portland Bicycle DIY Skirt

Add this cute bicycle iron-on to a $4 thrift store skirt and you'll be riding in style. If you've got 5 minutes to spare, you can easily create this bike skirt and show it off around town. And for those who are short on time, it really does only take 5 minutes! Don't want to wear a skirt? You can use the same idea on a tote bag or a tee shirt. Forget birds- put a bike on it!

Materials List

  • Thrift store skirt (or any plain article of clothing in your closet)
  • S*E*I's Iron-on Art Flocked Transfer
  • An iron

This could get very addicting. Who wants to be wearing a bunch of no-fun, plain clothing all over the place? Not me!

Instructions

  1. This is so easy! Lay the article to be decorated on a hard, flat surface. Position the iron-on with the paper backing side up. The adhesive should be against the article of clothing that you're working on.

  2. Preheat DRY iron to 325- 350 degrees (cotton or linen setting on most irons). Press firmly for 15-20 seconds. Let cool for about 1 minute.

  3. Gently peel off the backing paper. Turn item inside out and iron design on the reverse side with firm pressure for an additional 10-15 seconds

  4. That's it. Directions are right on the package.

  5. And now you're ready to put on your cute new outfit and ride around town!

  6. *Pro-tip: Add your iron-on to your outfit a bit off-center. Notice I added the bicycle on over-lapping the side seam. This gives the design a bit of whimsy and now it can be seen from other angles.
