Stretch Heat Transfer Vinyl on a swimsuit

Did you know that you can put heat transfer vinyl on a swimsuit!? YES YOU CAN! and I'm going to show you how!

Because everything is better with Expressions Vinyl!

Supplies:

Luckily we have a whole bunch of colors in Stretch HTV to choose from to match whatever you project!

First up: Measure the size of your vinyl area so you know how big to cut the vinyl.

Since this vinyl saying is two layers of vinyl--I size both at the same time and then cut one at a time (I like to color coordinate them with my silhouette studio so I know what to cut in what color!)

(The So Sweet is design #7716)

And cut! You can use whatever your electronic cutter you have--I personally love my silhouette cameo! (You will notice I am cutting on the backside of vinyl! for more Heat transfer vinyl help--go here!)

After each design is cut--weed away any part of the vinyl hat isn't the design!

A swimsuit has lots of straps and bulk in the back--so ironing on the design would have been tricky. I placed a folded up dish towel in between to get a nice smooth area to iron on!

Place the first bottom layer down and cover with a multi use paper (this just helps protect the swimsuit from the iron!) I only press this for about 3-5 seconds. Just a quick press to get it stuck so you can add the next layer.
