  1. Cut your fabric to fit around the laptop, with extra for seam allowances
  2. Lay the fabric out flat on a hard surface (with some newspaper or something under it) and put the transfer paper on top of it. You'll want to leave about a 1.5" border around each edge and a 2" space between the two sheets
  3. Place the pillowcase over top of the two sheets
  4. Heat the iron (the transfers I used called for High heat and no steam, but make sure to check your instructions)
  5. Iron over the pillowcase until the surface is warm to the touch, this may take a few minutes. Be sure to keep the iron moving so you don't scorch anything
  6. Remove the pillowcase and gently peel back the paper backing on the transfers
  7. Sometimes the backing paper sticks, or not all of the transfer has affixed to the paper. Be sure to peel really slowly, and if anything is sticking, go back over it with the iron
