Whether you are staying home for Pesach or going away, it is nice to have something new to enhance this special Yom Tov. With rhinestone monograms now so readily available you can turn many household items from ordinary to extraordinary. Enhance bath and hand towels, aprons, oven mitts, etc. with simple to use “Crystalique” iron on transfers. Do it yourself and present your hostess with a magnificent basket of monogrammed fingertip towels. Their elegant and easy and so affordable – you’ll want to treat yourself as well!

Directions 1. Preheat iron to the hottest setting (No steam) 2. Place fabric item on a flat, firm surface 3. Remove white backing from iron-on transfer 4. Place transfer face side up on the fabric 5. Press firmly, without moving, directly on to the clear film for 12-15 seconds 6. Let cool to room temperature and gently peel off plastic 7. If there are stones that have not bonded to the fabric, repeat steps 5 & 6 8. Press again directly on top of the stones for 10 seconds

Do the stones stay on; do they fall off while washing or drying?

Personally, I have never had a problem with the Crystalique iron on transfers. If you follow directions they should stay on beautifully wash after wash.

Tip – A friend of mine enjoys putting together towel baskets for simchos. She buys simple washcloths and adds a lace trim on one side.
