In this episode I show you how to add a BOLD metallic transfer to ANYTHING!
I'm applying a gunmetal color to the bottom of black jeans and bright silver to a graphic t-shirt!
But you can add any metallic color you want, Gold, Silver, Copper, Pink, Rainbow!!
(Kit link's below)
The best part is that this is fully machine washable which means you can put it on literally anything!!
The shirt was really hard to capture on camera because I did silver, but MAN, it looks so cool in person!!

OMG! My granddaughter will have a lot of fun designing her own clothes! She's 9 years old and I have been putting activities together for her to have an awesome summer vacation. I am definitely going to have fun doing so many of your sewing and fashion hacks! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us! I love your channel! By the way, modeling your DIY fashions is a great idea! Love it!!!!

[@rachelnation2021]

This is badass. I love that your channel has really easy and useful DIY's unlike some other popular "DIY" channels I see. Keep it up! Your channel is gonna blow up. Also, you seem to have an interesting family and life. Ever thought of doing vlog style or Q&A videos? I wound definitely watch!

[@OrlysChannel]

Ugh I suck at vlogging. I've tried. No bueno lol

[@darnelleechols8556]

Wow!! You're incredibly creative. I'm in awe EVERYTIME I watch your DIYs. Thank you for so many inspiring ideas.

[@OrlysChannel]

Darnelle Echols aw man, thanks!!

[@miamoberg827]

Look who's got Dad's smile. The best with your videos is your sense of humor and bot being afraid of showing fails. True learning!

[@soniar3051]

Another great project. All your projects look like a high end designer apparel. I love it, it 's so simple but so chic! Awe how sweet Papa was able to make his debut. You have his same beautiful smile.

[@brilorify]

How did I miss this one... watched it 2 years after it came out. Love it! Definitely going to do some Jean pants or jacket!! Thanks Orly!

[@kruddy908]

Cut to me running around the house picking things to turn metallic 🏃‍♀️

[@OrlysChannel]

hahaha

[@amycooper639]

Seriously! Every time I watch one of your videos....my mouth drops!! I don't get to watch Home and Family any more because I have to work, so I love watching your channel!!!

[@OrlysChannel]

Thank you!!

[@sarahs9228]

Your joy at the jeans working out makes me so happy!

[@OrlysChannel]

hahah It's sad

[@gailg-gl_collage]

Orly, I'm confused about what happened with the t-shirts; how did you do the second shirt?? Any chance you could make an update to show us? Thanks! Loved the jeans!!

[@JuneSkB]

You just put the transfer paper directly on the printed graphic and iron, no need for the gel because the graphic acts like the gel

[@LaceRedRose]

The ink from the t-shirt acted like the transfer gel. So you dont put on any gel just the foil paper on top and iron on. Hopefully this helpe you.

[@marlonmilo3076]

What they said!😄👍

[@gailg-gl_collage]

Ok, I understand now! Thanks, everyone! I'm a visual learner, so I just didn't get it. Appreciate the explanations!! Makes sense!! Love Orly's community!!!

[@OrlysChannel]

Yep Everyone's answers were correct. But I think you want a graphic that you can feel to the touch. Does that make sense. Like don't pick a graphic that is so worn and soft that its basically part of the shirt on. You want a shirt that you can feel the print. That's how both mine were, there was a distinct difference in the feeling of the shirt, to the graphic.

[@kerry-anndavis223]

I love love how the jeans came out

[@Natalia-hf3et]

They are gorgeous

[@nishthajain7331]

The best part about your videos is that they're not tried and tested before filming. It's a process. You make mistakes and we learn from them as you go. Love that!!

[@OrlysChannel]

Thanks. I was bummed but it all worked out!

New subscriber here! I never thought I would find a video on how to turn my jeans into metallics, but here you are! Thank you for this and your content looks so awesome. Is it weird that I want to put metallic foil in everything now?! 😳 Probably is, so I will try to calm down, but I’m pretty excited! Thanks again, you Rock! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@OrlysChannel]

haha not weird at all. You know I did it to anything I could for like a month lol

Thank you! I couldn’t find anything that said the transfer gel was washable. I even emailed the company. I’ll try this on a piece of fabric first to be sure I’m doing it correctly but am very excited for the possibilities.

Love this. Those jeans are to die for. Also totally went back to :55 to watch your patio door just close on it's own. It was pretty interesting to watch.

[@OrlysChannel]

oh good!! Yes just protect your fabric with a cloth in case it's sensitive to heat.

[@darlenecurrington1796]

I purchased all my supplies to try this, can't wait! Plus I just back from LA where 2 of my dearest friends & I visited Bohemia Beads & Imperial Trim & Beads .... Creating , here I come... no stoping me now!

Love, love love this!! T shirts, jeans, pillows and copying the canvases from your inspiration too! Thank you!

[@lestranged]

This video is 3 years old and I bought all the foil supplies when I first watched it 3 years ago and never used them. But I am finally gonna do it today! So I am rewatching the video. I am busting into the 'projects to do" pile finally!

[@anupamagarg7760]

Its awesome😊..... I just want to know if its washable

[@sgtroest]

Liking even before I watch the video!!! I so look forward to these Friday DIY's!!

aw you're amazing!

I want to do this project on the collar of my denim jacket around the edges of the sleeves and maybe the pocket and around the bottom O heck who am I fooling I'm going to put it on everything that can TAKE it 😂😃😅😆👍

[@sistahcool3533]

FABULOUS idea! I foresee MANY items from my closet gleaming in metallic!

[@OrlysChannel]

haha now that you see how easy it is right?

[@melibow2003]

OMGoodness....I just ADORE your personality!!!! You make me want to be your camera girl🤣🤣!!!! And this DIY is another winner!!! But you know I'm always over the top- so I'll have to do the transfer all overt the jeans. I know, I know..... but that's just who I am😂😂!! And you're dad is precious..... that was too cute💞. Heading to the store! Have an awesome weekend.

[@OrlysChannel]

thank you!!

[@MsMadMar]

this is a great one!!! even with the goof-up that gives you a new renew to tees an stuff!!! holo is all the thing an this would be insane on totes, even sun hats for the beach! or to update the tops or bottoms of curtains from a thrift shop! you rock!!!! cant wait to try and i saw the brand you used was DECO FOIL so next michaels trip thats what im getting!!! i wanted to make a kimono from old tees and this is the thing im gonna use to tie them all together once i sew them into the yardage ill need. two vids to make a craft project even sweeter!!!

[@OrlysChannel]

I would actually buy it online. I tried Michaels and Joannes and couldn't find the transfer gel. They have a transfer pen but it doest work for a project like this.

[@glitterdarla]

Fabulous! I need a pair of shorts in this like now!

[@OrlysChannel]

YES! This is such a satisfying one

[@evabutcher4203]

Love your channel awesome to see you with your dad. I had a wonderful relationship with my dad so many great memories. Love your ideas thanks so much for sharing!

Cannot wait to try this foil move

[@michelesherman5918]

Amazing! Love all your diy ideas, I want your shoes too.

[@mjhunter502]

Do you let the transfer glue dry before applying the foil, or should the glue be wet?

[@QueenofWooWoo]

I'm reading through comments trying to find the same answer.

[@whatever123651]

This 53 year old will be rocking this shyat!!!!! Oh yeah!!!!! Thanks😘😘😘😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😂

[@loisgehman949]

ooooo... I love it!! I was just thinking that you should transfer the foil on to your ADIDAS t-shirt... or cut out the shape you want to transfer (using the streakiest left over parts of the foil)..... I’m getting such ideas!!!... annnnnd that’s all I need is another obsession!

[@ethollowayak]

So Orly I did the reverse tie-dye ADIDAS t-shirt but the color bled into the logo and while I quickly tried to get it off it didn't work. So I tried the foil on the ADIDAS logo and it didn't work either - didn't take any of the transfer - any ideas?

[@317Dlove]

Orly Shani, u were just on Right This Minute abt this video!!!! Yay!!!!!

[@OrlysChannel]

oh yay!

[@giuseppa5754]

Love this. I had a pair of jeans with bronze transfer along time ago and now i can recreate them, thank you. On the graphic t-shirt did u still need to use the transfer gel or could u just iron the metallic transfer directly on to the existing graphic?

[@OrlysChannel]

yep no transfer gel needed! But I think you want a graphic that you can feel to the touch. Does that make sense. Like don't pick a graphic that is so worn and soft that its basically printed on. You want a shirt that you can feel the print.

[@queennefertitties8302]

*runs to local craft store*🏃🏿‍♀🏃🏿‍♀💨

[@OrlysChannel]

hahah love it! I will say that I did NOT find the gel at the craft store. They had a pen which doesn't work for this style. I did link the gel in the description though

[@queennefertitties8302]

no I didn't dry them

Hi-! Thanks for posting this video. I am doing this with another type of adhesive.
