How to Apply Pearl Glitter HTV at Home

1. Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a sharp blade 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 prepare the fabric for transfer.


3. Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.


4. Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and remove backing sheet as appropriate. 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.

Choosing the Right Pearl Glitter Film

Consider the fabric you’re decorating, desired contrast, and design size. Pearl glitter is less suited to tiny details. Make sure to source from a trusted supplier to ensure consistent quality, accurate colours and reliable adhesion.
