Step 3:
Put card stock between layers of the fabric to prevent glue from soaking through.
Step 4:
Place the Crystal or Rhinestud where needed on your garment with the glue side down.

Cover with a pressing cloth. An old piece of fabric or t-shirt will work great.

Step 6:
Heat for 50 seconds.

Step 7:
Remove iron and pressing cloth. Run fingers over embellishment to check for a secure hold. If the embellishment is loose, re-heat for an additional 30 seconds and check.
