Step 1 

Use a lint roller over the area to remove dust, lint, and loose fibers.

Pre-press: Iron or press the fabric for 5–10 seconds to flatten wrinkles and remove any trapped moisture. Let it cool slightly.

​

Step 2

Place your decals onto the fabric where you want them, white side down, image side up. Don’t overlap decals. Once positioned where you want it, secure the edges with the provided heat-resistant tape. (Remember: Once pressed, the design is permanent!)

​

Step 3

For this next step you can use either a heat press or household iron.

Heat press settings - 150 degrees celsius, medium to firm pressure, 15-20 seconds. For home iron, medium to high heat (no water or steam), 20 seconds. Press firmly over design, if larger than your iron, press in sections. Avoid moving the iron back and forth.

​

You will need to do this part on a heat proof surface, such as A solid table, wooden cutting board, or hard countertop protected by a heat mat or folded towel.

​

Step 4

Stop and wait! The film will be very hot. allow the decal to cool until it is completely cold to the touch.

If you peel while warm it will cause the design to tear or lift.

​

Step 5

Slowly peel the clear film back flat against the fabric (peel low and smooth, not pulling straight up).

Place the provided sheet of parchment paper over the design. Re-press for another 15-20 seconds with firm pressure. This sets the ink into the fabric fibers, removes shine, and ensures durability.

Top Tips

• Best Fabrics to Start With are Smooth cotton garments like t-shirts and sweaters/hoodies. We recommend practicing on these first before moving on to heavier textures like cotton canvas (such as tote bags), which may require extra firm pressure due to the thicker weave.

• You can apply decals to polyester, nylon, etc. but these are more delicate and trickier to work with because the heat can scorch or melt the fabric. Lower your heat slightly, use shorter press times, and always test first.

• If edges lift when peeling the film, Stop immediately! Lay the film back down, cover with your parchment paper, and re-press with firmer pressure and slightly more heat. Let it cool completely before trying to peel again.

• Never iron directly on the exposed print, Once the clear film is off, always make sure the parchment paper is between your iron and the decal.
