Just to put things into perspective, you need about 400 stones to do the mouse face with ears. These are great because you can also use them on fabric as well. Rhinestones – I used some rhinestones from a hotfix assorted kit. You can get t his one with a fine tip and just apply small dabs for each stone. It actually works great for all rhinestones on all surfaces including fabric. Glue – I like to use E6000 for this project. If you’re okay with plastic, these Strata skinny tumblers are perfect for these rhinestone projects. I love these super affordable stainless steel insulated tumblers from Amazon. I find the “color” on most of these insulated steel tumblers starts peeling after a while and if that happens, then your rhinestones will fall off. Tumbler – My top choice is to use stainless still tumblers. *this article contains affiliate links for your convenience, see full disclosures here Materials for Rhinestone Tumblers I first iron on HTV to permanent vinyl and then I iron on the rhinestones to the HTV/permanent assembly.īefore we get started, I have a few recommendations on materials in case you don’t have everything already or if this helps in using what you have already. But then I realized it wasn’t! This time, I bedazzled my tumbler the same way I bedazzle my dress. So I did the next best thing which was use what I already had!īack in the day, that is my pageant days, I used to do quite a bit of bedazzling to my dresses but that was a different type of project altogether.

The only problem was the materials they used cost a fortune and I had half the supplies already. Then, I found a tutorial on Rhinestone World about bedazzling a tumbler 3500 rhinestones at a time and I was fascinated. I’m obsessed with operational efficiency especially around the household so I was bothered by the fact I was still placing rhinestones by hand. Yeah, one of those one-off things I’m paranoid about.

Glitter tends to get everywhere and I have small kids and I’m constantly paranoid they’re going to get some small piece of glitter in their eyes and it’s going to scratch their cornea.

I mostly wanted something sparkly and I’m not a huge fan of glitter. This was my original work where I attempted to glue on the rhinestones with glue and my template: But since my initial post on this project, I’ve worked on my bedazzling skills and have gotten better. This was very much a trial project for me. I felt the need to do some bedazzling the other day and decided to design my own rhinestone templates for use with my Cricut.
