I have made this step super easy for you!! All you need to do is print out these images. You can change the song that is playing by finding the image for the album cover and placing it over the Beatles image.
IMPORTANT - if you replace the image make sure to flip the image. In Photoshop this is: EDIT -> TRANSFORM -> FLIP HORIZONTAL

Iron on Transfer
iPod Screen
Since printers don't print white the iron on transfers don't transfer the white color from your image. So if you are printing on colored fabric you will want to iron the iPod screen onto white fabric. To do this:
Place the iPod wheel under the screen. Make sure its centered. Iron the wheel onto the dress using the directions from the iron on transfer package
YOUR DONE!!!
Since printers don't print white the iron on transfers don't transfer the white color from your image. So if you are printing on colored fabric you will want to iron the iPod screen onto white fabric. To do this:
- Cut out the iPod screen on the printed sheet
- Lay the screen on the white stretchy fabric and outline it with a pencil
- Cut out the rectangle you just traced. It should be the same size as the iPod screen
- Attach the white rectangle to the dress using Steam-a-Seam. Make sure its centered and you've left enough room for the iPod wheel.
- Place the iPod screen graphic over the white fabric on the dress and iron it on using the directions from the iron on transfer package.
