Heat Transfer with Hats

I've just recently used heat transfer on a hat. It wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be but... I still need some more practice! Although I've done a lot of research for doing this and now I'm working on my second one! I recommend that whenever you first start, you but some cheap hats that you wouldn't mind throwing away and also that you've already worked with heat transfer vinyl on other things such as shirts! So, without further ado, let's begin!

1. You're going to want to cut out the design with heat transfer vinyl. (Make sure you mirror the image!)
2. "Weed" the design (Take out the extra pieces that you don't need for your design) 
3. Pre-heat the surface for where you want your design to be on the hat. ( I used the "pointy" end of an ironing board and put a small piece of fabric such as a dish cloth to prop my hat on)
4. Place your design on your hat and place parchment paper over top and iron it on.
5. Iron your design on for about 20 seconds in about 2 intervals and apply pressure while doing so. (Make sure your iron is on the highest setting/ temperature it can be on.)
6. Peel off the sticker sheet from your heat transfer vinyl. (I sometimes prefer to go back over the design again with parchment paper over top of the design without the sticker piece) 
7. After all that's done, BOOM! Your hat has a really cute/ beautiful/ pretty/ handsome/ wonderful/ etc. hat!

Hope you'll come back next week to view the new post on Friday!
