"Hi I'm Chris, owner of Salon Teez for Expert Village this is how to create your own iron-on tee shirt. I've let this cool down for about three minutes or at least until it's cool to the touch, now I can actually touch the rhinestones, before they were way too hot to touch with my fingers or rub my fingers across and once I can rub my fingers across the rhinestones, then I know that it's cool enough for me to actually peel the backing off. I want to make sure that I have allowed enough time for that to cool so the glue actually has had time to adhere to the shirt and so that the rhinestone won't peel off as I peel the back off. Simply peel up in one corner, and as we move across the rhinestone, simply keep the shirt semi-tight by pulling back with my index finger and just remove the backing all the way across so the sticking paper all the way across so now I've got a nice neat design on my tee shirt and this tee shirt is ready to go. I'll remove the backing that I had that prevents the tee shirt form from actually sticking to the shirt itself, remove the tee shirt form and now my tee shirt is ready to wear."
