Attaching Rhinestones By Hand -

Our flatback rhinestones and acrylic rhinestones are designed specifically for hand-rhinestoning jobs. Many types of glue are acceptable for attaching rhinestones or crystals, we recommend E-6000 or Triple Threat - both of which are available in the "Hand Rhinestoning" section under "Necessities" on our site. Please note: it is a good idea to avoid hot glue, any glue containing acetone, and Superglue, as they can compromise the look of the stones.

Before you start, make sure the item is clean and dry. We also recommend testing the glue and stones on an inconspicuous part of the item at least 24 hours before starting the project. Also, in addition to having your glue and stones on hand, we recommend using a rhinestone picking pencil or tweezers and a magic rhinestone tray to make the job easier.

When you have all your supplies and a design in mind, you are ready to start! Because each stone has to be placed by hand, this can be a slow process, it is a good idea to work on small areas, apply a small amount, even amount of glue to the item and carefully place the stones.

Most adhesives set in 15-20 minutes, with a full bond achieved in 24 hours.

When washing fabrics with rhinestones attached, wash inside out, in cold water and lay flat to dry.

Attaching Hotfix Rhinestones -

PreparationArrange hot fix items in chosen pattern or design. If working on a large area, or using a heat press, we recommend using heat fix tape to cover design before applying the heat. Always test fabric before applying. (Please note: HOTFIX PEARLS should ONLY be heated from the back)

Please test settings with your machine before starting production, as machines vary. Make sure the glue goes through the garment and you can see the glue on the other side of the fabric.

Handheld Hotfix SetterPlace appropriate tip on the setter for the size of stone, and then pick up the stone with the setter. Once glue starts melting, place it onto the fabric. Use tweezers to separate stone from tip and then the stone to seal the glue into the fabric. If necessary, use tweezers to move the stone, glue should remain pliable for approximately 5-10 seconds.
