When applied properly, pearl glitter HTV holds up well to regular wear. It's ideal for garments that need to be washed frequently, such as everyday tops, uniforms or dance costumes.

Creative Ideas for Using Pearl Glitter HTV

Use pearl glitter film to give plain garments a polished twist. Its soft shine ensures designs make a clean visual impact.

Combine with metallic layers for layered effects. For example, a matte base with a glitter overlay can create depth. Pearl glitter is perfect for special editions, charity runs, themed parties that are memorable and wearable.

How to Apply Pearl Glitter HTV at Home

1. Cut the vinyl: Always flip your design horizontally, and use a glitter-compatible blade setting to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.


2. Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.


3. Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, and follow specific instructions for your vinyl type.


4. Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and peel warm or cold as instructed. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and do not iron directly over the design.

What to Consider Before You Buy

Consider the fabric you’re decorating, desired contrast, and design size. Pearl glitter is ideal for bold shapes and text. Make sure to source from a reputable vinyl retailer to ensure consistent quality, accurate colours and reliable adhesion.
