Hiya, Welcome to my first post of 2017. Happy New Year to you all and many thanks for commenting and following in 2016 - your feedback is so very much appreciated.
Today I have a post over on the Silhouette UK Blog featuring a NEW product in the UK - Silhouette METALLIC Heat Transfer. It is available in gold, silver and mint (so far) and it is SO pretty!
To try out this new media I decorated a plain black t-shirt with the mint and silver with a few rhinestones for extra bling. I made minimal changes to this lovely design by Kollette Hall from the Silhouette Design Store.
In my post I show you how to re-size the file to fit your t-shirt and tweak the file to allow for the rhinestones to make contact directly with the t-shirt fabric (they stick better that way).
I also tell you the software settings you'll need to cut the metallic heat transfer media (so far there is no default setting in the software, but I'm sure that it will be present in the next update to the Silhouette Studio® software). I also show you how to cut it to make your weeding as easy as possible and then how to best apply it with a domestic iron.
Finally, I've included instructions on how to use the Silhouette rhinestone setter to apply the sparkly rhinestones.
I love the metallic sparkle and shine, and I hope you do too.
BREAKING NEWS: By coincidence I've just discovered that the designer of the file I used for this project has a special promotion in The Silhouette Design Store at the moment 25% off!
