Step 5Iron-on Patterns
Once you are ready to iron-on your patterns. Set the iron to medium heat with NO steam. Peel of the paper backing and arrange your patterns where you would like them located on the scarf.
I made sure on mine that I was able to hide any of the conductive thread that would be seen.
Depending on your scarf fabric, you don't want to hold the iron too long in one place. I used fleece so I had to move quick and press down quickly in order to keep from melting and/or burning the fabric.
Once everything has been ironed onto the scarf, I went around the edges using fabric paint. This helps to serve two purposes. It helps to keep the fabric secure and also adds a little pop to the shapes.
TIP: Let the fabric paint dry over night in a warm area. This will help the paint dry. If you had this in a cold garage or something then the paint will later crack.
NOTE: If you are handy with sewing or a sewing machine, you can sew down the patterns. I am not to that level yet so this was the easiest way for me to do it.
