Glam Up Your Clothes with Iron on Rhinestones

By Lilly Boyce


So you've heard about rhinestone crystals and how they can transform boring clothing into glamorous looking apparel. The great news is that without any expensive tools or instruction you can create and apply rhinestones to your favourite apparel using custom designed rhinestone transfers.

Rhinestone hot fix crystals are specially-made rhinestones that have flat mirror backs coated with heat-activated glue. The glue softens between 340 and 375 degrees, which is the ideal temperature for your household iron. They're easily applied to most fabrics with a household iron by reading the easy to follow instructions that come with with the transfers. If you dont have the instructions, you can easily find them on the internet by typing in key-phrases such as "how to apply rhinestone iron on transfers'.

When applying your transfer, it is really important to use material that's not easily damaged by high heat, since you can end up scorching the fabric before the rhinestones have fused to the clothing. Virtually any fabric will accept an iron on transfer, but the rhinestones will not stick to leather, Teflon, or ribbed fabric like corduroy. The smoother and flatter the fabric, the stronger the bond will be.

Rhinestone hot fix crystals became very popular over the past few years. You may have seen adverts for special tools designed to apply the rhinestones. These are not necessary, as any household iron or heat press will work just fine , and you will save money by employing this technique.Iron on rhinestone transfers are affordable and you can customise the designs or statement you want to make by including your fave colour, font, and type of rhinestone. You can search online for a reputable producer of rhinestone transfers who will work with you to create your very own design. Find a provider who will manage the design and communication with you through e-mail instead of complicated order forms, which aren't necessary. Ordering is easy and your design will be created and forwarded to you before it is created and placed in the post.

Once you have received your customised rhinestone transfer, apply them to any fabric. T shirts, blouses, gym wear, nightgowns, and jackets are popular clothes on which you can apply them, but accessories are also fun to experiment with. Add some glamour to scarves, hats and caps, aprons, and home items like material napkins, table-cloths, pillows, and much more.

The possibilities for using hot fix rhinestones are practically endless.

Turn the garment inside-out and put it in a laundry bag before washing in the gentle cycle with mild detergent. If you suspect a loose rhinestone, simply reactivate the glue backing with another press of the iron.
