If you’ve been thinking iron-on transfers went out of style along with your crimping iron and jelly shoes, you probably haven’t seen the adorably modern varieties out there today. We love that now, there are whole books of cool iron-ons from some of our favorite artists that provide hours of rainy day craft fun or party activities. (Provided you wield the iron.)

Pages of clever, unexpected illustrations in the GamaGo Instant Iron-onsSuper Cool Iron-ons by Sukie, and Instant Iron-ons by Julia Rothman (all available at our Amazon affiliate) can be transferred easily and directly onto any fabric surface. Your kids can cut them out and have you help iron them onto a comfy t-shirt, a canvas bag, or even a tie–if their style is preppy with a sense of irony. Also fun: get the fun alphabet iron-ons for a baby shower and have guests decorate baby shirts, bibs, and onesies for the new mom.
