Cooky, I used photo fabric to print form my ink jet printer. You can get this a JoAnn's. You could also use transfer paper that you iron on your fabric. Actually that would be cheaper, but I had a lot of the photo fabric. You can get transfer paper at Office Depot or the like. I have included some pictures of the process and the final product. I used about 75 yo yo's to make the garland.
Start by printing up you photo. Follow the instructions on the sheets.
