Completing the Rhinestone Iron-On T Shirt Transfer

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Chris owner of Salon Teez, for Expert Village this is how to create your own iron-on tee shirt. Sometimes we can find rhinestone designs already created for us at art and supply warehouses or art and craft stores such as this one or you can find them online at various types of transfer places. These transfers are exactly like the rhinestones that we created before, it's on a mile art paper that is sticky, we'll simply remove the sticky part of the paper and as you can see it's got the hot fix glue on the back. Then we'll just simply place that in the desired location on the tee shirt, smooth it out. We got our cooking sheet behind the tee shirt, in between the tee shirt and the tee shirt form so the glue on the back doesn't stick and now we're ready to begin. Again I'm using my iron that is on a very very hot setting with no steam and I'm just simply applying the heat directly to the rhinestones with a good amount of pressure keeping even heat distribution throughout the entire process and I'll do this for about thirty to forty-five seconds to make sure all of the rhinestones have enough heat on them. I'll also, once the heat is applied I'll let the rhinestones cool for about two to three minutes or at least cool to the touch and then remove the backing of the sticky paper revealing our rhinestone transfer. I keep that iron moving as you can see just to prevent any scorching of the shirt that way I'm not leaving the iron just in one place creating an imprint of the iron itself. So I'll keep doing this for thirty to forty-five seconds and then let that cool off and we'll remove the sticky paper revealing our design. I've removed the sticky paper and the tee shirt form along with our cooking sheet off the back and as you can see our rhinestone design is ready to wear."
