There are many ways to iron-on Rhinestones onto clothes. The most common ways are to use a household iron, a special appliactor, soldering iron or a press.

• Apply Rhinestones with an IRON or PRESS

Place the garment on a solid surface like a table.

The best way to apply is to place the rhinestones onto the garment where you want to create the effects, then cover with a thin material like a hankie. Then apply HOT heat direct for 15 seconds on both sides.

for Fine fabrics apply heat for 10 to 15 seconds on each side of the fabric

for heavy fabrics apply heat for 15 to 20 seconds on each side of the fabric.

Let the rhinestones cool for a few minutes then check to ensure the glue has melted well and embedded to the material. if it hasnt then re-apply heat.

Trial and error will see you become and expert in no time at all.

• Applying rhinestones with an APPLICATOR - Kandi Kane, soldering iron

change the tip on the applicator to the size of the rhinestones. then just place the tip over the rhinestones on the garment, within a few seconds you will feel the glue has melted, lift the applicator off the rhinestone and let it cool. once cooled you will see that the rhinestones has stuck well.

This is a good way as you can be geauranteed that the rhinestones would have stuck well. the drawback is that you can only apply one at a time.

AFTER CARE - To ensure that the crystals stay as long as possible on the garments, you need to take a little care when washing. Reverse the garment so that the crystals to not rub against other items. Do not put the water heating to high as this may make the glue soft and the crystals may come off.

DO NOT TUMBLE DRY, as the heat is very hot and you will definatly find rhinestones coming off in due course.

The rhinesones stick differently to different types of garments / material. For t-shirts and shirts , you will find they stick very well and should last a very long time.

STUDS - Studs are a cheaper alternative but they do not shine as brightly and they do not last as long. Some studs stick well to garments but in time you will get them coming off, this is due to the fact that they do not hold much glue at the base.
