Using Pearl Glitter Film with a Heat Press or Iron

1. Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a glitter-compatible blade setting to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.


2. Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.


3. Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, and follow specific instructions for your vinyl type.


4. Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and remove backing sheet as appropriate. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and do not iron directly over the design.

What to Consider Before You Buy
