Want to add a little faith and sparkle to your wardrobe? ✨ Whether you're using an iron or a heat press, applying your Rhinestones of Grace heat transfers is easy and fun! Follow this simple step-by-step guide to ensure a flawless application every time.
🔹 What You’ll Need
✅ Rhinestone heat transfer
✅ A cotton or cotton-blend t-shirt (or another fabric item)
✅ Iron (no steam) or heat press
✅ Hard, flat surface (like a table or countertop)
✅ Teflon sheet or parchment paper (optional but recommended)
🔥 Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply Your Rhinestone Transfer
🔸 Using a Household Iron:
1️⃣ Preheat Your Iron
- Set your iron to the cotton or high heat setting (about 300-325°F).
- Make sure steam is OFF – moisture can prevent proper adhesion.
2️⃣ Prepare Your Fabric
- Lay your fabric flat on a hard surface (not an ironing board—it’s too soft).
- Preheat the area where you’ll apply the design for 5-10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
3️⃣ Position the Transfer
- Peel the white backing off your rhinestone transfer, leaving the stones attached to the clear sheet.
- Place the sticky side down on your fabric in the desired position.
4️⃣ Apply Heat & Pressure
- Press down firmly with the iron, holding it in place for 10-15 seconds per section.
- Avoid sliding the iron—press and lift to ensure even heat.
5️⃣ Check & Remove the Clear Film
- Let the transfer cool for 10-15 seconds before gently peeling off the clear sheet.
- If any rhinestones aren’t sticking, reapply heat and press firmly for another 5-10 seconds.
🔸 Using a Heat Press:
1️⃣ Set Your Heat Press
- Temperature: 300-325°F
- Pressure: Medium to Firm
- Time: 10-15 seconds
2️⃣ Position the Transfer
- Lay your fabric on the heat press.
- Position the rhinestone transfer (sticky side down) where you want it.
3️⃣ Press & Peel
- Close the press and hold for 10-15 seconds.
- Allow the design to cool slightly before carefully peeling off the clear sheet.
🛠 Troubleshooting Tips: Ensuring the Best Results
❌ Stones aren’t sticking?
✅ Apply more pressure and heat for an extra 5-10 seconds.
❌ Design is peeling after washing?
✅ Make sure you pressed firmly and allowed proper cooling before peeling the sheet.
✅ Wash inside out on gentle cycle & air dry for long-lasting results.
❌ Iron isn’t hot enough?
✅ Increase the temperature and ensure you’re applying direct, even pressure.
👕 Best Fabrics for Longevity
For the best adhesion and durability, use:
✔️ 100% Cotton – Best for everyday wear, breathable & holds rhinestones well.
✔️ Cotton-Polyester Blends – Great for durability and wrinkle resistance.
✔️ Denim & Canvas – Ideal for jackets, totes, and more structured fabrics.
⚠️ Avoid: Nylon, silk, or heat-sensitive materials that may scorch or melt.
