Step 1
 |  | Pull off the protective white backing with the Swarovski® logo. |
Step 2
 | | Place the transfer on the front side of the fabric in the desired position. |
Step 3
 | | Turn the fabric over on the ironing surface (a table covered with a towel works best) so that the crystal stones are face down. |
Step 4
 | | Lay a double ironing cloth over the fabric with the transfer underneath. |
Step 5
 | | Ironing at the cotton-linen setting is best for most fabrics (more delicate fabrics may need a lower setting). Do not use steam! Firmly press down with the iron over the transfer without moving it for 30 seconds at a time. Turn fabric over, with crystals facing up, and iron again with the ironing cloth placed over crystals. |
Step 6
 | | When the complete design is pressed, while transfer is still hot, press on stones firmly with the ironing cloth as it cools. |
Step 7
 | | When transfer is cold, carefully remove. If any crystals remain on the plastic, replace and iron again. If there are crystals that will not adhere to the fabric, use Jewel Bond glue. |
