How to Put Images on Wrestling Tights

There are two ways to add an image to wrestling tights.

Wrestling tights are typically made from Spandex or some kind of Spandex blend. This can make it a challenge to add images to the fabric, because it is so stretchy. There are two ways to add images to wrestling tights. The first method uses a fabric paint designed for use with Spandex and other stretchy fabrics. The second method uses iron-on heat image transfers to place the transfer over the fabric without damaging the fibers of the fabric.

Things You'll Need

• Fabric paint for stretchy fabrics
• Paintbrush
• Iron-on image
• Straight pins

Instructions

Paint

1. Clean the tights by washing and air drying them.

2. Place the fabric in the desired position with the image you want to paint facing up.

3. Paint the desired design onto the tights using paint for use for stretchy fabrics. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before wearing the tights.

Iron-Ons

1. Place the iron-on onto the desired place on the tights. Hold the design in place with straight pins.

2. Hold the iron about 2 inches above the surface of the fabric. Hit the steam button to release the heat onto the fabric and transfer.

3. Hold the iron in place for about one minute until the iron-on fuses with the fabric. Allow the fabric to cool for about five minutes before wearing the tights.
