hey, if you look in the fan stuff section, there's a SMB t-shirt I made with an iron on. I'm not sure if there are ones specifically for hats. I'd go to any place Wal Mart or whatever that sells printer paper and computer stuff and they should have specialty stuff. I printed on a dark shirt so they do make ones specifically for dark or light fabrics. I wanna say any of those should work on a hat. It should have further details on specifically what you might want on the package.
I'd just open MS Paint or Photoshop, a program like that and it shouldn't be too hard to make I would think. And then it's as easy as having the special paper in your printer and following the instructions. Good luck!

I had to use dark t-shirt iron on transfer since it was on black, I think it will say on the package, it'll say "Dark T-Shirt transfer" or just the regular Iron on transfer. I accidentally used a regular one at first and the image came out really dark, it's basically like a temporary tattoo transfer. The dark transfer paper essentially solves the problem by printing the image on white so the image will show up.
I think if you're not transferring onto white or really light fabric, it would be better to use the dark transfer. Since it'll be on red and green.
