How to use Hotfix tissue

We illustrate the use of hotfix tissues.
In the example below we make a bicolor star out of them.

You will need an image or a design that will used as a pattern.
An iron.
Hotfix tissue, in this example we have used the image of a star, Hotfix tissue imitation Black lizard and Hotfix tissue Spangled gold.

Step 4:
Place this star on the base you want to decorate.
Do not take off the plastic protection, it will allow you to iron directly on the hotfix tissue.

Step 5:
Iron the star.
Be careful, the iron must not heat too much.
Set your iron temperature in the middle range, to avoid the plastic protection from melting.
