Who grew up in the 90s and had glow-in-the-dark stars all over their bedroom ceilings and walls? Me me meeeeeee!!! I LOVED (and still do) everything and anything that glows in the dark. I remember putting glow-in-the-dark puffy paint on anything I could, from my Keds to my Jansport backpack. Ahh, the good ol days.
Well, lucky for me, Silhouette makes glow-in-the-dark heat transfer so I can feed my glow-in-the-dark obsession through my children! Did I just say that out loud?
While browsing for Halloween designs, my eyes caught this super cute design and I knew I had to have it. It’s perfect for a simple DIY heat transfer shirt project for your little ones. Simply purchase a blank solid shirt (I usually get mine from Old Navy and the best part was this orange shirt was on clearance!), mirror image the design, and send to Silhouette to cut. If you want step-by-step instructions, read this blog post and start at Step 5.
The only important tip I have to share is to hold down your heating element longer than normal. Even though this is a smooth material, I actually had to press my iron down a couple times for about 45-50 seconds each time. I think this is because the clear plastic that is adhered to the glow-in-the-dark HTV is thicker in this product versus the standard smooth HTV.
