Introduction to Bling Part 2: Working with Hotfix Rhinestones
What you'll learn
In this class, you will take a close-up look at hotfix rhinestones and how to apply them. Hotfix rhinestones have a heat-activated adhesive on their backs that allows them to stick to fabric when used with a heated tool. A rhinestone template under the "Materials and Tools" lesson is included so that you can work alongside Patrice as you make your own shirt. Also, don't miss Introduction to Bling Part 1 on working with flat back rhinestones.

Patrice is so inspiring and has motivated me to actually create my own rhinestone template, successfully cut it with my Silhouette Cameo 4, brush in the hotfix rhinestones, lift them with the transfer tape without them leaping up off the flock with static, and apply them to my mustard color T-shirt. I’m so happy! I created a few more templates that same day! Thank you, Patrice, for helping me get past my fear of not being able to properly cut the flock and successfully lift the rhinestones without static. I brush over my flock and stones with a dryer sheet before brushing the stones into the template. It works like a dream! Thanks, Patrice and Craftable Things! I also enjoy learning by watching Craftable Things on YouTube!!! 💛💛💛
