I must admit that using rhinestones confuse me, so if this is full of errors then please put me right. From my very limited understanding these are heat pressable mini gems that are used to embellish items. Now it is the template that confuses me. Are these like stencils? e.g. are they full of small holes that you place on top of an item then drop the rhinestones in place and press? If so would the templates just be card of some type?

At this point I really do not understand where flock or vinyl comes in but assume that maybe somehow you stick the rhinestones to a carrier and then press and peel?

So now that I have hijacked the thread can someone give me a quick answer?

@worth - not that hard to understand bud....honestly !...youtube will throw up 100's of vids on it.

only hard bit is getting paul to tell me if i got the right stuff or not .....rofl

@PAUL - is my links the stuff i need to use ??????

c'mon bud....we're nearly there lol

[Paul]

Sorry my man. Iam on my phome. Will let you know when back home lol

Well, I will have to visit youtube later when I get home but I think i would use my plotter to cut small holes out of thin card and just drop stones in the holes and press that way then lift off the stencil and keep for next time. I would consider flex to be too expensive unless i was going to have the rhinestones on top of the flex on my shirt etc. Perhaps things will become clearer after I get home.

Links are fine. Pick any color of sign binyl and some pro flock. You cant use cart WDR. Carier wil not lift of the card.. Heat press flock to vinyl and off you go is cheap if you use flock as you will always have some wastage.

It's not possible to place rhinestones on top of vinyl, there is nothing for the glue to grab onto. You would need to cut holes in the vinyl so they make direct contact with the garment.
