Step 3: Stick the vinyl to the cutting mat, shiny side down.
Step 4: Peel off the extra vinyl, using your weeding tool.
Step 5: Lay down your headband on the ironing board and arrange the vinyl design where you want it to be on the headband.

Step 6: Using a towel or some extra fabric, cover the vinyl and place the hot iron on top. Iron for 30 to 45 seconds on the non-steam setting.
Step 7: Remove the iron, peel off the backing from the vinyl, and check to make sure the pattern has stuck well!
