How to use Hotfix metal strass?
In summary

Iron-on hotfix rhinestones are distinguished from sew-on and glue-on rhinestones by their pre-glued backing, requiring a heat source for attachment. For a successful pattern, it's essential to use a steam-free iron, a flat work surface, and to maintain even pressure during application.

In the example below, we teach you the easiest way to use Hotfix strasses.
Let's illustrate it by creating a spiral of stars.


Material and advice:
To make this spiral, you will need an Adhesive sheet to create motifs with Hotfix strass 28x24cm.
