Embossing attachments for irons

Attachments that would allow you to make temporary monograms or sayings on your shirts using metal letters composed of inny and outy pieces. Just put the raised lettering piece under the garment and the reccessed lettering piece over it, press with the iron for a few seconds and voila!

       Can you imagine the fun a peeved about-to-be ex-wife would have with this. Cutting the bottoms out of trousers would have nothing on ironing profanities on each and every shirt.

       Irons are already used as a heat source in embossing. What you need are templates, not attachments.

       Doesn't sound like anything's getting attached.

       I like the idea to make it "temporary", but if you iron the fabric over a 3D shape the fabric will stretch and never go back.   

       I once tried fake embossings with toothpaste because it washes out. It didn't look real, was too heavy and crumbled off too fast.

       po, branding irons are the original permanent markers. I think the spirit of the idea here is to allow for a temporary, changeable message.
  

       PeterSilly, not to mention the derogatory remarks ironed on the crotch.   

       kbecker, on the bright side, I bet your shirt had fewer cavities!   

       bobof, not trying to be 1/2B pedantic, but I think the term you want is "viola!"
