Save Time and Money with Sparkling Rhinestone Iron on Heat Transfers

By Lilly Boyce


So you've heard about hot fix rhinestones and how they can turn bland clothing into glamorous looking attire. The great news is that without any specialized tools or instruction, you can create and apply rhinestones to your favourite clothing using custom designed iron on rhinestone transfers.

Hot fix rhinestone crystals have become incredibly popular in the past few years. You don't need special tools or implements...a standard household iron or heat press is all you need and you'll save hundreds of dollars. Hot fix rhinestones are cost-effective and you can customize the statements of design you want to make by incorporating your favorite colour, font, and type of rhinestone. Search the web for a credible manufacturer of iron on rhinestone transfers who will work with you to make your very own design. Find a provider who will manage the design and communication with you thru e-mail instead of complicated order forms, which are not needed. Ordering is easy and your design will be drafted for your approval prior to manufacture.

Hot fix rhinestones are specially-made rhinestones that have flat mirror backs covered with glue that is activated by heat. The glue liquifies between 340 and 375 degrees, which is the ideal temperature for your home iron. They're simply applied to most garments with a household iron by following the easy to follow directions that are included with the transfers. If you don't have the instructions, you'll be able to find them online by typing in keyword phrases like "how to apply rhinestone iron on transfers'.

When applying your heat transfers, it's particularly critical to use a fabric that won't easily scorch, or you'll end up burning the fabric before the rhinestones have attached to the clothing. Nearly any fabric will accept iron on transfers, but rhinestones won't adhere to teflon, leather or ribbed fabric like corduroy. The smoother and flatter the fabric, the better the bond will be. Rhinestones are glamorous, durable and will out-last your garments if you look after them.

After you have your custom designed rhinestone transfers, apply them to any fabric. Blouses, t shirts, gym clothing jackets and nightgowns are popular garments onto which you can apply them. Add some glint to scarves, headwear and caps, aprons, and home goods like cloth serviettes, table-cloths, pillows, and much more. Don't spend a massive amount on dance wear and clothes for your children. Glam up their outfits with rhinestones for a pricey look without the price. The possibilities for using iron on rhinestones are endless.
