Can I iron projects decorated with these sequins?

Troubleshooting
Sequins not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a strong fabric glue or craft glue suitable for embellishments and allow adequate drying time. For sewing, use a fine needle and strong thread, ensuring stitches go through the sequin hole.
Sequins lose their shine
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or cloths. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Store embellished items away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
Difficulty threading sequins
Use a fine embroidery needle or a beading needle. Ensure the thread is not too thick for the sequin's hole. A temporary knot at the end of the thread can help prevent beads from slipping off while working.
