Hi, this is Chris for Expert Village and this how to do your own iron-on t-shirt. For this transfer, I'll actually be using our soft color transfer. We have our shirt, our shirt form and again our iron set on hot but no steam. Place our t-shirt in our t-shirt form. Smooth it out. And this will actually be two motifs in one. This is our rhinestone t-shirt that we used before. And now I'll take our soft color transfer. Turn it over so the color is actually going to be on the t-shirt itself. Line up where our rhinestones are located. I can feel those. See that this is where I really want this soft color transfer to be. Hold with one hand and again moving my iron across the motif, not using any steam. I'll do this for about 20 seconds. This would actually be more of a hot peel application because as soon as I take the heat off of it, I can begin to remove the motif. Take the t-shirt from the form and end up with a vintage looking type of t-shirt. The color is softer. It doesn't have the plasticky feel that you mostly feel with most iron-on transfers. And it gives us more of a rustic vintage feel.
