Make Your Own Transfer Paper

There are several brands of transfer/graphite paper out there.

Some are better than others.

If you want to buy transfer paper, just make sure it doesn't have any wax in it.

My favorite brands are Sally's and Saral transfer paper. 

There is also a simple way to make transfer paper.

Take a piece of tracing paper (not to be confused with transfer).

Put some tape around the edges so the paper doesn't tear.

Now rub a piece of graphite on it (a nice soft pencil also works).

The rub it into the paper with a tissue.

Now you have transfer paper.
