    Sticky Fabric copy paper.........

    Hi guys,
    A little help here please. Does anybody know where i could find this type of sticky fabric paper (perhaps the name of it also). Been looking to make some Chris Reeve chest emblems for some Superman customs i just finished. See below for example.......... Thanks.
    I have the following stores near me:
    Michael's
    Lee's paint store
    staples

    I found a great product at Michaels from a company called Transfermations.
    You should find the display over where Michaels keeps t-shirts, t-shirt designs and stickers.
    Anyway, this company makes cotton sheets with the adhesive on the back, and these are designed specifically to work in a inkjet printer.
    They also make an iron-on version as well. The stuffs a little pricey - about $1-2 a sheet (the package comes with about 5 or 8 sheets, if I remember.)
    One sheet will yield a boatload of Mego size stickers & designs, which I think more than offsets the price!

    I like the adhesive sheets the best (haven't tried the iron-on ones yet.) I'll cut out the design and stick 'em right to the costume.
    When Im ready for a more permanenet attachment, after I've cut out the design, I treat the edges with alittle 'Fraycheck' and let it dry overnight.
    Then, I'll add some 'Instant Vinyl' adhesive to the back of the sticker, attach it to the costume and let that dry overnight as well. (These 2 products I find at fabric stores like Hancocks.)
