Materials List

Thrift store skirt (or any plain article of clothing in your closet)
S*E*I's Iron-on Art Flocked Transfer
An iron

This could get very addicting. Who wants to be wearing a bunch of no-fun, plain clothing all over the place? Not me!

Instructions

This is so easy! Lay the article to be decorated on a hard, flat surface. Position the iron-on with the paper backing side up. The adhesive should be against the article of clothing that you're working on.
Preheat DRY iron to 325- 350 degrees (cotton or linen setting on most irons). Press firmly for 15-20 seconds. Let cool for about 1 minute.
Gently peel off the backing paper. Turn item inside out and iron design on the reverse side with firm pressure for an additional 10-15 seconds
That's it. Directions are right on the package.
And now you're ready to put on your cute new outfit and ride around town!
*Pro-tip: Add your iron-on to your outfit a bit off-center. Notice I added the bicycle on over-lapping the side seam. This gives the design a bit of whimsy and now it can be seen from other angles.
