MAKING
IRON-ON TRANSFERS:
- Print your design
from your computer, or use a photo and tape the corners of your
design to a flat, smooth surface. Remember to mirror your design.
You are looking at the back side of your design when designing
it on the transfer paper.
- Cut the transfer
paper slightly larger than the design. Peel off the paper backing
from the transfer film and set the backing aside.
- Tape the transfer
film over your printed design with the sticky side UP.
- Choose the rhinestones
you want to use. Place the rhinestones, glue side up on your
work surface.
- Using tweezers,
carefully place the rhinestone on the lines of your design.
(the sparkley side of the rhinestone will be on the sticky side
of the transfer paper. Continue placing stones until your design
is complete. When finished, place the transfer paper backing
on top of your design, and gently press down on the paper.
- Carefully remove
tape from corners of transfer paper, and look at your design.
If your design is not correct, place it back on your printed
design, and make adjustments. When finished, place the backing
back on your design, and examine again.
- You can now either
store your design (with the backing on your design) to use later,
or use it immediately.
TO
ADHERE YOUR TRANSFER TO YOUR GARMENT:
- Pre-heat iron
to the temperature required for your fabric (approximately 280
to 300 degrees).
- Remove backing
from your transfer design.
- Place transfer
- sticky side down - on your garment, precisely where you want
it.
- Place a press
cloth - or cover the soleplate of your iron with a teflon cover
- over your design.
- Place iron over
design and hold in place approximately 12 to 15 seconds for
small stones (you will need alitter more time for larger stones).
Lift and move your iron around abit to prevent scorching or
melting.
- Let cool for a
few seconds, before removing film. If rhinestones are not set,
reheat.
