This is what we use on our team cheer bows, cut with a vinyl cutter, and it looks beautiful. It is super sparkly. We also use a website called Heat Transfer Warehouse - Thermoflex PLUS, Vinyl Transfers, Heat Press Equipment, Heat Transfer Warehouse USA - they have a produce called GlitterFlex...
We did a 'spotted' pass last year on our senior 3 team and got great comments on creativity all season. We had two athletes join left and right arm, and a third athlete did a spotted front punch step out over their arms. It's not difficult to do, but it's eye-catching. Their hands were on her...
