Learn how to layer vinyl on a shirt using everything from regular everyday iron on to glitter and holographic HTV in the right sequence for success! Many people are intimidated by layering iron-on vinyl and I totally get it. Making a T-shirt with just one layer can be challenging! But when you factor in two, three or even four layers of iron-on vinyl there are a lot more steps and a lot more chances of messing things up. That’s why I wanted to put together a super simple and easy to follow tutorial that breaks down all the steps so instead of feeling confused, you can feel confident and TRULY know how to layer vinyl on a shirt!
