Single color Glitter Flake™ designs stand out alone but whenever you add other colors
to glitter designs for a multi-color finish it really helps you stand apart from the rest when
reaching markets such as spirit wear cheer and dance and even retail and holiday inspired designs
in this video I’m going to be showing you how you can get a layered multi-color look with Glitter
Flake™ and although you can't layer Glitter Flake™ there is a registration and a trapping method that
you can do to make it look as though it is layered if you're not familiar with this process there's a
link in the description to see how that artwork is created in this video I’m going to be showing you
how you can heat apply multiple colors of Glitter Flake™ to get a multi-color look first let's take
an up-close look at our artwork we're working with a four color design and whenever I remove
each color you'll notice garment show through in the silver portion of our design this is known as
the trapping method that I mentioned earlier where we are creating artwork to make each color
look as though it is layered but the adhesive of each color is actually adhering to the t-shirt
now let's piece these back together at the heat press now I’m going to show you how to heat apply
each color I already have my garment loaded on and preheated so I’m going to start with the
largest part of my design which is my background color which is the silver Glitter Flake™ so I’m
going to place that cover with a cover sheet and I’m just going to tack this for three seconds
the tacking method allows me to activate the adhesive to start curing to the t-shirt,
but it keeps the material from any shrinking that could potentially happen and cause issues for
registration so that tacking method is going to cure get that adhesive activated and start curing
to the t-shirt, but I don't have to actually apply it for the full application now I’m going to go
in with the second largest piece of my design which is the white I’m going to piece that in
again, we're just going to attack this
three to five seconds
and now I can lay in my last two colors
and because we use the trapping method and the tacking method, I’m not having any issue
with alignment whenever I lay each piece in so I can apply these together and since this
is the last step, I’m going to apply these for the full application instructions
remove both of those carriers
and our multi-color layered Glitter Flake™ look is complete now it's your turn to get
creative by mixing multiple colors of Glitter Flake™ together for more
