who does rhinestones printing??

[FairyD]

I can do it in Inkscape Paul, it's far more time consuming but I'm not planning on doing names to start with...going for designs that I can re-use so I don't need the software until I need to convert things on a much quicker basis.

???

If you were to do more that one colour then it starts getting even more difficult because you have to layer and cut the stencil out exactly so it fits on top of the other colour hiding the first colour, if that make sense.

Also be aware of the laws about children and rhinestones, in USA no child under 12 can have rhinestone clothing unless it is low lead and you have the test to prove it. (This is why most childrens clothing has now gone to sequins) As a rule I dont sell rhinestones to children only adults, I have not found any laws in UK or EU reguarding this, but im not taking the chance and presume if the USA its law, it will follow here.

Although if you wanted rhinestuds are ok and cheaper.

Its easy to do it in any software like inkscape if you have time and patience, the old fashion way, get the outline of you drawing, and make lots of o the correct size and one by one fill the drawing in.

Also make the holes bigger than the rhinestones, 3mm = 3.30mm 2mm = 2.30 ect.

I will pm you my supplier details fairy.

Hi Viccar, brilliant info, thank you. Was thinking more of one colour with the nose a different colour...but need to try it out now to see if it'll work. Stuff just arrived from BMS so going to get that all sorted out so that I can have a play.
