r/Rhinestoning

Obsessed with sparkles so I'm bedazzling these Jellycat bunnies.

hey book besties, what gems are we using to bedazzle our books? i got mine from amazon and they’re all the same size so for the smaller sections (like the points on the cruel prince) the gems are just too big, help? tia🥹🫶🏻

$5 ghost light from the thrift now has spirit sparkle

I used Aleene’s clear gel tacky glue
(From Walmart)
Rhinestones beadsland crystal ab
Ss3-ss30
(From Amazon)

I painted a pickle on a canvas and then rhinestoned the pickle! The biggest stones are multi color shift for a lil extra fun ☺️🥒✨

I am wanting to make the black stripes rhinestone in black; does anyone have experience with this? What size stones, which glue, which fill pattern and do they make square stones? Thanks 😊

I’ve been working on this hat for a long time… it’s been super tedious as I have stones from size ss30 all the way down to ss6. I’m using e6000 Fabri-fuse as I’ve found it sticks best to the felt hat.

I’ve noticed all the dust collecting on the hat/glue. I’ve tried cleaning with alcohol but it didn’t seem to do anything. (Perhaps the little towel I was using couldn’t reach down to the glue?) I also tried a sticky roller which did nothing other than pulling up a bit of cat hair.

I’ve spent soooo long on it that I don’t want it looking dull due to dust. Any cleaning suggestions?

Excited to show you my latest rhinestone art work on visors!

As material, I'm using B-7000 glue, so far, the rhinestones stick well on these caps cloth.

Also, I create these meticulous designs with a magnifying glass; it helps defining lines and spaces.

I would love to hear about your feedback, and which one is your fav!

Ive severely underestimated the time this is going to take to finish.
Started with leftover rhinestones from three years ago, bought a bigger bulk pack of the dark green and they are just slightly bigger than the other three colors....1 hour per leaf is now closer to 3 for the larger ones.

So...do I:
a. give up at one vine and call it finished
b. put the old rhinestones back into the stash of art supplies and buy all new ones so the sizes match
c. just keep torturing myself until the other three colors run out so I can buy new ones to match the dark green sizes

HELP

i need advice on sealing some hotfix rhinestones. i am bedazzled an eye glass case (unfinished) and most of the gems are on there pretty good but i don’t think it’ll survive inside my bag. i did not use glue, they are stuck on just by using a hot fix tool
the case is made out of a plastic-y almost faux leather material so i’m worried they didn’t adhere well enough. ideally i’d like to seal it with some sort of clear top coat. i’ve heard that doing a layer over rhinestones will dull the sparkle but i don’t know how much.
any advice is appreciated as this is my first time using hotfix rhinestones and im totally out of my element!!

I've been really into rhinestoning lately. Nothing is safe

So my mom was a swimwear designer in the 80s and 90s. She made a few swimsuits that had rhinestones on them - and around the rhinestones were what seemed like glitter hot glue (it literally felt slightly flexible like dried hot glue). This was likely to give the look of a metal setting I think. I’m trying to see if it was literally hot glue or if it was a specific product for fabric. I believe rhinestones were likely glued to the fabric using something else, cause I know hot glue would peel off the stone easily. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Attaching a photo I have of one of the swimsuits.

Last night my husband and I were at a pool party with a bunch of his coworkers and he was (lovingly) making fun of me for rhinestoning everything in the house recently.

So tonight after he went to bed, I did this real quick and hid all of his extra cans. I can’t wait for him to be forced to take this with him to his blue collar job tomorrow.

Update: my husband laughed his ass off this morning when he saw the can and was very excited to show it off at work today

Used 2mm pink rhinestones, it took me a couple of weeks to finish. (I’m new to Reddit, this is my first post)
