How to Apply Pearl Glitter HTV at Home

1. Cut the vinyl: Always flip your design horizontally, 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 eliminate moisture and wrinkles.


3. Apply heat: Set the correct temperature and pressure, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.


4. Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and peel warm or cold as instructed. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and keep the surface protected during care.
