DIY DTF Ornaments
Make your own custom ornaments this afternoon.
We print your designs as a full-color DTF gang sheet. You trim, press and tie them up at home. Have fun with it, or let us do the whole job.
We print. You make.
You don't need a DTF printer. We handle the printing, and the fun part happens at your table.
🖨️ We do
- Print your designs on our commercial DTF printer
- Apply the adhesive powder and cure it automatically
- Ship your gang sheet or have it ready for pickup in Laconia
✂️ You do
- Trim out each design
- Press it onto a wood slice ornament
- Peel, add twine and a bow, and hang it up
From screen to tree in 6 steps
Fit as many ornaments as you can on one sheet. The more you gang up, the less each one costs.
We print your sheet
Your gang sheet is printed, powdered and cured in our shop, then shipped or held for pickup.
Trim
Cut out each design with sharp scissors or a circle cutter, leaving a tiny border.
Press
Set the wood slice on the bottom platen of your heat press, lay the transfer on top face up, cover with a Teflon sheet and press. Need time and temp for wood? Call us.
Peel
Peel the clear film away to reveal your full-color design.
Tie it up
Thread jute twine through the hole, add a red ribbon bow and hang it on the tree. Done!
Make your art & upload it
Here's how to get your ornament design from your computer onto your gang sheet.
Create the art
- Design inside a circle. For a 3" wood slice, make the circle 2.75" across so the bark edge frames it.
- Use 300 DPI. A 2.75" design should be at least 825 × 825 pixels. Bigger is fine.
- Save as a PNG. A transparent background is best. A filled circle on a white square works too; just cut on the circle line.
- One file per design. You'll choose how many copies of each in the builder.
Upload it to the builder
- Open the gang sheet builder, click Got it, create my own, then Remove samples.
- Click Upload artwork or drag your files in. PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF and AI all work.
- Set each design's Width to 2.75 in. The height follows automatically.
- Use the Quantity arrows to add copies, then click Auto-arrange.
- Choose ¼″ standard or ½″ easy cutting spacing so you have room to trim.
- Fix any DPI warnings. Under 150 DPI prints blurry, so print it smaller or upload better art.
- Click Add to cart and check out.

Good to know
How big should my designs be?
Make each design a little smaller than your wood slice so the bark edge frames it. For a 3" slice, a design around 2.5" to 2.75" works well.
Do I need a heat press?
For the best results, yes. A heat press gives you the even heat and pressure DTF needs. Don't have one? Scroll down and we'll make the ornaments for you.
What can I put on an ornament?
Team logos, business logos, family photos, pets, "first Christmas" designs, class years and more. A high-resolution PNG works great.
What else can I press with DTF?
The same transfers work on shirts, hoodies, tote bags, hats and more, so you can fill the rest of your gang sheet with other projects.
Rather we do it all?
No press, no time, or need a big batch? We'll print, press and finish your ornaments for you, twine and bow included. Great for teams, businesses and fundraisers.
