Adding Bling

I love using rhinestones to finish off a design or personalize a custom dress for a customer. 

Shopping list:

• Kid safe rhinestones (you never know what kids will eat)
• Mylar Carrier Sheet
• Crafting Tweezers Set
• Clothing Item You Want To Bling Up!

Let's get started!

Step 1

Cut your Mylar Carrier sheet slightly larger than your design will be:

Step 2

Peel off the backing off the Mylar sheet and place it over your design, adhesive side up:

Important: Make sure you have REVERSED your image design....otherwise your design will be backwards when you flip it back over!

Step 3

Using small tongs or tweezers start placing your rhinestones on the design face down (glue backing is right side up):

I always start adding rhinestones from the outside in so that I end up with a perfect mirror image......

.....so when I add in the final rhinestone it fits perfectly:

Step 4

Take the Mylar sheet with the rhinestones attached, turn it over and place onto your fabric:

Step 5

Place a small cloth on top of the Mylar sheet and iron carefully to melt the glue:

Step 6

Carefully peel off the Mylar sheet. I like to turn my garment inside out and iron it again to make sure all the rhinestones are adhered well:

Be creative.....you can hand drawn any design as well, large or small:

Just make sure you are using low lead crystals if you are adding them to a child's clothing!
