Use heat lamps. Those halogen work lights actually work pretty well and are cheap if you dont wanna buy true heat lamps.

i used a cotton shirt to make my design i also used chicken wire which was a pain. Both of my halogens burnt out while i was working on it last time, i guess you get what you pay for from Sears.
