Double your iron-ons!

If you're ordering iron-ons with a short name, here's a hack to consider. Get the name printed up twice on the same iron-on, with 6 or so spaces between them. (See example image to the right.)

Before applying the half-sized iron-ons to clothes:

• cut the iron-on in half vertically
  
• cut rounded corners for each half (approximated by the red dotted lines in the image to the right) Failure to round the corners will result in the iron-on prematurely lifting and peeling.
  
• apply the half-sized iron-on as you would a full-sized one
  
  

Pros:

• twice as many iron-ons for the same price!
• labels fit nicely on tiny items (think infant socks)
  

Cons:

• Will not work with long names.
• Only one image per iron-on, so only 50% of your half-sized labels will have an image.
• It is time consuming to cut rounded corners on the half-sized labels.
  
• You buy fewer iron-ons which means I earn less commission! (Booooooo.)
