How to Create Your Own Fabulous Wardrobe or Uniforms with Iron on Transfers

By Francis Paul


There is literally no form of apparel decoration on the market today that attracts the same attention as clothes enhanced with sparkling iron on rhinestones. Otherwise referred to as hot fix crystals, they're an easy and highly affordable way of turning bland clothing into glamorous articles that you would usually see in stores on sale for hundreds of dollars.

Hot-fix swarovski crystal and rhinestones are uniquely designed multi faceted glass crystals with flat mirror backs that are coated with heat activated adhesive. The glue is activated by heat between 340 and 375 degrees, which is the ideal temperature at which your household iron operates. Just about any fabric will take rhinestone transfers, but hot fix crystals will not stick to teflon, leather or ribbed fabric like corduroy. The flatter and smoother the fabric is, the better the bond.

Rhinestone hot fix crystals have become exceptionally popular during the last few years. You may have seen adverts for special tools that are designed to apply the rhinestones... they aren't necessary. Any household iron or heat press will work fine and you economize by using this approach. For business owners, iron on logos are affordable and you can customise the statement or designs to contain your favorite colour, font, and type of stone (Swarovski or rhinestone). There are one or two online business that make ordering straightforward and who email the artwork to you for approval before they are made.

You can apply your rhinestone designs to jeans, t shirts, jackets, gym clothing, dance wear...you name it. You may add sparkle to aprons, hats and caps, scarves, and home items like cloth napkins, table covers, pillows, and much more. Don't lay out a fortune on dance wear and get ups for your kids. Embellish their clothes with sparkling for an expensive look that saves you money. The possibilities for using hot-fix rhinestones are practically endless.

Create personalized shirts for your next important event. Hot fix rhinestone crystals are perfect for bachelorette party ideas baby showers, birthday parties, holiday gatherings, happy hour, cocktail evenings, anniversaries, and sporting events. Announce to the world your part in the event by embellishing your shirt with titles like'Running Diva', 'Bride', Maid of Honour' or 'Wine Queen'. These bling rhinestones are sturdy and will outlast than your garment if you take care of them. Turn the garment inside-out and put it in a washing bag before washing in the delicate cycle with mild detergent. If you suspect a loose rhinestone, simply reactivate the glue backing with one more heat press of the iron.

So type in the keyword phrase "iron on rhinestone transfers" now to create your own unique wardrobe or company logos.
