Transfers can be applied to any surface that will withstand the heat of an iron (wood, fabric, paper, glass, clay, cork, etc.) They are easy to apply and will not crack, peel or fade. Since they are made of fabric fibers, and not plastisol as many others on the market, you never have to worry about washing, drying or ironing over designs. Transfers are great embellishments for scrapbook pages as well - they are completely acid- and lignin-free.
