Rhinestone designs today are an important element in fashionable decor. The pictures are appliqués made of tiny pebbles of different colors, glued to the material using a 2-layer film or a special adhesive pencil. Rhinestones applied to clothes, unlike ordinary appliqués, shimmer in the light. Larger than beads, they are not sewn to a dress, T-shirt or skirt, but glued, so they will not come off.
Important! Diamond mosaic has recently appeared on the market as a hobby option. In it, rhinestones are glued onto a finished canvas with a pattern applied to it. The result is a mosaic picture. The next step in the world of handmade fashion is the design of shining mosaics on clothes.
Various application options
Patterns of artificial stones on fabric and products made from it are created randomly or using stencils.
The most popular stencils represent images:
- flowers (roses);
- animals (horses, cats, frogs, etc.);
- footprints (human or animal);
- insects (butterflies, dragonflies);
- birds (fairytale or real);
- cartoon characters;
- abstract compositions;
- inscriptions and individual letters.
Attention! Interesting examples of designs made from rhinestones are New Year's garlands, the Eiffel Tower, a shooting star, curly locks, jewelry, a heart, a peacock, a crown, a skull, a sailing ship, a planet, etc.
You can place a decorative insert on a fabric product, for example, on a belt, braid or pocket.
The real possibility is a seamless and harmonious arbitrary design, made of rhinestones of several colors, multi-layered and panoramic.
This approach is within the power of an experienced master. Beginners can use ready-made sketches..

Materials and tools
Main material - rhinestones. They can be different in shape - round or multifaceted, and in color - transparent, pearlescent or painted in bright shades.
Swarovski crystals are an elite option. Their flawless cutting provides them with extra shine and purity.
To make work easier, use:
- tweezers or toothpick - for capturing and moving the smallest pebbles;
- glue - for fixing them;
- an iron or a special soldering iron - for special rhinestones that are attached thermally;
- a degreasing composition used to clean fabric before use;
- wipes suitable for removing excess glue from fabric;
- thermal film, consisting of 2 layers - for laying out rhinestones and transferring them from a sheet of paper directly to the product.
Step-by-step drawing with rhinestones
Stages of work:
- You need to prepare the fabric. Not only is it advisable to wash and dry the product, but the potential surface must be degreased. Then lay it out on a flat surface and stretch it.
- Transfer the selected pattern to the film and glue it to the workpiece.Gradually separate the film from the workpiece, so that the sticky layer remains intact. You can start laying out the rhinestones.
- Pour out the rhinestones and carefully distribute them one at a time according to the design. As you lay out, press with your hands so that the glue “seizes.” Remove the film completely.
- Place the blank with rhinestones directly on the product. Iron the workpiece through a rag with a hot iron so that the film sticks and the rhinestones remain on the product. Remove remaining sticky layer.
If necessary, fix individual parts with a soldering iron.
Advice! Decorate T-shirts and jeans, baseball caps and backpacks with amazing sparkling designs. Such patterns look non-standard and are not repeated. Make your things unique!
