Help!!! Iron on tranfers on bags burned through!!

[MissJali]

So I started to do my iron on transfers on my eco-friendly reusable bags but as soon as the iron hit, the bag melted. Any suggestions on what to do? Obviously i can't use the iron on transfers but any other way to get "Punta Cana" on them? Or just suck it up and use gift tags?

Did you put a towel over the bag? This should help protect the bag from the direct heat of the iron.

should I put the towel over the bag and transfer paper? I will try it again tonight! Thanks!! of course I didn't think of that

I'm sorry, yes put the towel over the bag & transfer paper.
