• Cut vinyl slightly larger than the image and affix it to the sticky cutting mat (shiny side down).
• Run the cutter, twice (first for the hat, then for the lettering/wrinkle details), then remove excess vinyl using the weeding tool.

• Lay shirt on the ironing board and center the first part of the design (the hat.)
• Cover vinyl with white fabric and iron for 30 -45 seconds (non-steam setting). Remove the backing and check adhesion.

• Carefully align the second part of the design (lettering/wrinkle detail) vinyl over the first design. Repeat covering the vinyl with white fabric and iron for 30 -45 seconds (non-steam setting). Remove backing and check adhesion.
