How to use Hotfix Transfer Tape step by step?

Have you ever seen a stunning rhinestone or rhinestud design on clothing worn by someone? And did you wonder why it so perfectly? Whether the rhinestones or rhinestuds put onto the fabric one by one? It must be a very painstaking task! Here we reveal the secret of using hotfix transfer tape. With this effortless method, you can create your own designs. You can store it for future use, share it with family and friends, or even sell your designs for profit!

Step 1: Construct your design on a clean flat surface.

You may use hotfix rhinestones or hotfix rhinestuds or a mixture of both rhinestones and rhinestuds. However, make sure the rhinestones and studs are of the hotfix variety with glue on the flat back.

Step 2: Transfer the hotfix rhinestone/stud design to a piece of hotfix transfer paper or tape.

After you design the hotfix rhinestone pattern you want, you can transfer it to a piece of hotfix transfer tape. Partially peel off the transparent layer of hotfix transfer tape from the white backing layer. Place the sticky transparent layer over your rhinestone design. Then ensure the sticky transparent tape makes good contact with all the rhinestones and studs. Apply some pressure to your design to make sure the rhinestones and studs are well-adhered onto the hotfix transfer tape.

Step 3: Peel off the hotfix transfer tape.

Slowly peel off the hotfix transfer tape. Please make sure all the rhinestones and rhinestuds are adhering onto the hotfix transfer tape.

Step 4: Replace the backing sheet.

You may now replace the backing sheet, and your design is ready to be transferred onto your clothing. In this form, you may also preserve the design for future use. And you have a choice of displaying or selling your designs.

Step 5: Transfer the design onto chosen clothing.

When you are ready to transfer the design onto your clothing, you will need an iron and an ironing board.The photo below shows a simple rhinestud design on a piece of hotfix transfer tape and the sleeve of a T-shirt where the rhinestud design is to adhere to.

To begin, peel the transparent layer of the hotfix transfer tape. With the rhinestud design, from the white backing sheet and position it onto the desired position on the fabric.

As the transparent layer of the hotfix transfer tape is sticky, it will stick to your clothing but worry not as it can be peeled away easily without causing any damage. The tape also helps to set your rhinestud and rhinestone design in place.

Step 6: Iron on your hot fix rhinestone/rhinestud design.

Turn your clothing over to reveal the underside where the rhinestone design is so that it is accessible to an iron.

With the iron set to a temperature suitable for the material of the clothing, place the iron onto the underside of where the rhinestone design is. The heat from the iron will melt the adhesive on the back of the rhinestuds and rhinestones causing them to stick permanently onto your clothing.

Attention must be paid not to place the iron on your clothing for too long to avoid damage to the material due to excessive heat from the iron. This step can be repeated a few times in short intervals.

Step 7: Check the rhinestones/rhinestuds attach perfect and remove the transfer tape.

When you feel that the rhinestones and studs are stuck securely to the material, turn it over again and slowly peel off the transparent layer of the hotfix transfer tape from your clothing. If the heat application step is perfect, you will have all the rhinestuds and rhinestones sticking firmly onto the material.

If you find some rhinestuds or rhinestones not sticking well to the fabric, repeat the heat application step and perhaps try with a slightly elevated temperature.
