DIY Rhinestone shirts help please...

[TeresaG]

Hi!

I tried searching for the answer to this question (so as to not be asking a question that has probably been asked over and over and over) but I was not able to find the answer, so I have to ask. Sorry if this has been asked a bazillion times...


Where can I find information about how to make rhinestone shirts myself? Where do I find the rhinestones? How do I attach them? Glue? I've seen mention of hot fixing them?


Any help would be truly appreciated. Please!

You can buy rhinestones most anywhere. Walmart sells them, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and most craft stores have them. You can find them online...here is one website:
www.fbcdesigns.com

You will need to purchase Mylar Rhinestone Transfer Paper. It is clear and you can place it over your design to place the rhinestones where you want them.

I suggest buying the hotfix rhinestones.

There are a ton of videos for "how to" on youtube.com
Here is one for how to make the crystal transfer:

Here is one for how to iron on to the t-shirt:

You will have to be careful with washing the shirts as you can loose the rhinestones during washing if they aren't set properly.
