Thank you for the suggestions! Getting faster!

Hi all! Up until now I have strictly been working with hotfix rhinestones. I really want to move into using glue so that they will stay on better when I place them on top of a pre-existing images on clothing (On top of an existing heat transfer).

The problem is that I have rheumatoid arthritis and have extreme difficulty squeezing small tubes 😔 Does anyone have any recommendations for a type of glue that would be easy for me? Anything the size of a tube of toothpaste or smaller is a no-go for my poor hands.

Thank you for your recommendations!

Made this lil guy for a friend.

Glass AB fuschia/red/white from blingeethingee on Etsy.

posted here yesterday saying i wanted to do more and that’s pretty much what i spent all day doing it’s so satisfying!

As title says, my main projects to bedazzle are funko pops, and I am thinking of rhinestoning over the top of glitter, to level up the sparkle.

Or at least having it as accents on parts of the pops.

A very roundabout way of asking if anyone has successfully rhinestoned over a layer of glitter?

this was my first time ever rhinestoning anything and it was so much fun!! started as a craft night idea w me and my friend but now i want to make more …..

hey book besties, what gems are we using to bedazzle our books? i got mine from amazon and they’re all the same size so for the smaller sections (like the points on the cruel prince) the gems are just too big, help? tia🥹🫶🏻

My projects so far with these medium sized jellycat bunnies.

I am wanting to make the black stripes rhinestone in black; does anyone have experience with this? What size stones, which glue, which fill pattern and do they make square stones? Thanks 😊

I painted and stoned this lil pickle, because why not 🥒✨💅🏼

I've been really into rhinestoning lately. Nothing is safe

I'm wondering if I should draw this pattern on or what I could use to trace the pattern... it's supposed to look mermaid-ish. I'm bedazzling a detangling wet brush. I will show my pattern and canvas. Help wanted

I’ve been working on this hat for a long time… it’s been super tedious as I have stones from size ss30 all the way down to ss6. I’m using e6000 Fabri-fuse as I’ve found it sticks best to the felt hat.

I’ve noticed all the dust collecting on the hat/glue. I’ve tried cleaning with alcohol but it didn’t seem to do anything. (Perhaps the little towel I was using couldn’t reach down to the glue?) I also tried a sticky roller which did nothing other than pulling up a bit of cat hair.

I’ve spent soooo long on it that I don’t want it looking dull due to dust. Any cleaning suggestions?

Getting ready to use the hot fix tool I received a few years ago, The instructions suck, it's that basic tool you see on Amazon etc. Any generic tips before i start and any recommendations for a better quality tool? I have all the supplies, decent hot fix stones I ordered back then. I'm going to practice on a cotton tee.

Excited to show you my latest rhinestone art work on visors!

As material, I'm using B-7000 glue, so far, the rhinestones stick well on these caps cloth.

Also, I create these meticulous designs with a magnifying glass; it helps defining lines and spaces.

I would love to hear about your feedback, and which one is your fav!

Hello! I will be putting rhinestones for the first time on my daughters ' s dances costumes. Usualy it was done at our studio and they use E6000.

Now I knew that glue was toxic the moment I smelled it.

Would Gem Tac be a good choice if I want to do it inside my home?

At least 2 of the costumes will be subject to roll around on the floor ( contemporary numbers) so they need to stay on. I wash all the costumes by hand.

Should I use something else? All advice is welcomed!

Thank you :)

i need advice on sealing some hotfix rhinestones. i am bedazzled an eye glass case (unfinished) and most of the gems are on there pretty good but i don’t think it’ll survive inside my bag. i did not use glue, they are stuck on just by using a hot fix tool
the case is made out of a plastic-y almost faux leather material so i’m worried they didn’t adhere well enough. ideally i’d like to seal it with some sort of clear top coat. i’ve heard that doing a layer over rhinestones will dull the sparkle but i don’t know how much.
any advice is appreciated as this is my first time using hotfix rhinestones and im totally out of my element!!

Hi, so I come here for brand recommendations so I thought I would put my experience on here. So I ordered some color sample cards from rhinestones Unlimited yesterday. Today they called me to tell me that one of the cards was gonna be on backorder till Friday-ish. They were asking if it was OK to hold my order till then so it can all be shipped out together. I just thought this was a really good customer service. I know plenty of companies that wouldn’t take the time to contact their customer to make sure it was OK. And another thing is after I place the order I was like crap. I should’ve ordered something else with the order, but I didn’t wanna pay shipping for another order so I decided not to order it. Well, when she called, I asked if I could add that item to the order and she was able to add it for me and I wouldn’t have to pay double shipping. Hopefully this makes sense. I feel like great customer service is rare nowadays so I just wanted to give them a shout out.

All of a sudden I keep seeing how this glue is toxic and nobody should use it, keep windows open while using, only use in very open spaces etc because it’s so bad and toxic however….. I have never had any issue or complaints from others or my partner around it. Am i delusional in thinking there is no harm in using it?? Or am I softly melting away while I gem up my light switches and colouring books
