Baby Tron Costume

Step 3 Adding the Reflective Tape

Now that you have a design, it's time to start cutting the reflective tape and applying it to the costume. I cut 1" wide reflective tape into 1/4" strips for the lines and traced the cap of a pen for the dots. Once you have several pieces cut out and ready, start ironing the pieces on. You must remove the clear backing from the tape, place onto the fabric, and iron on. Once cooled, there is another clear piece that must be pulled off. (Read the instructions on the package. You may also want to do a test run on another piece of fabric before starting on the costume.) Overlap joining pieces for a cleaner look and more sturdy finish. Overlapping pieces will need to be ironed on separately. You will need to iron on the first piece and remove the clear sheet on top before continuing with any joining pieces.
