How to Apply Rhinestone Transfer
We recommend using a heat press to apply rhinestone transfers.It will ensure that even heat and pressure is applied throughout the design.
Step 1
Lay garment on flat surface. Do not use a padded ironing board. For thin garments place a pressing cloth or a piece of flat cardboard inside of garment.
Step 2
Remove the protecting foil and make sure that all stones are in place and none of the stones have shifted during shipment. If stones have shifted, use tweezers to re-position the stones into the correct place.
Step 3
Place sticky side of paper onto garment and adjust to correct position. Cover the transfer paper with a pressing cloth or Teflon Sheet.
Step 4
Apply heat by lowering iron straight down onto transfer area and push hard for 25-30 seconds. Make sure to cover entire transfer area. DO NOT MOVE IRON AROUND! Heavier fabrics such as denim might need more time and light fabrics less time. If you are using a heat press do not over do the pressure or you will leave pressure marks on garment. Press for 15-20 seconds.
Step 5
Remove the sticker from the cloth after cooling.
