TOPPS T-SHIRT FACTORY IRON-ONS 1988

A while back I saw some of the artwork for these on Tom Bunk's blog and I thought they looked neat. I have a pathetic wardrobe and I figured if I ordered a box of these t-shirt iron-ons I could get some blank shirts and make a whole set of summer tees for myself.
I had only seen the three or four pics that Tom posted so I was eager to see what the other iron-ons looked like. There are 18 in all and they are fabulouso.

If I remember right, there were 36 in the box. I was just hoping they would still adhere after 22 years.

Here's the wrapper front and back with the checklist:

I dug up a t-shirt and the iron and got started making my first shirt. I forgot to read the directions...

but it came out pretty nice.

I made some for my family too...

Here's all 18 of the iron-ons. Since they are reversed I had to iron them on to shirts and chunks of canvas to scan them all.

I've ironed about 8-9 shirts already. If you see any summer pics of me chances are I will be wearing one of these shirts.
