Description: How to Make Custom Rhinestone Shirts to Grow your Business with TRW Magic Flock Template Material ► Subscribe to our Channel here: youtube.com/user/therhinestoneworld?sub_confirmation=1 Have you wanted to get started doing Rhinestone shirts but weren't sure where to start? We host weekly Free Live Trainings and have thousands of free tutorials on our YouTube channel to help guide you and answer your questions. You can use our Rhinestone Designs or True Type fonts in any software to customize apparel. Our designs come with eps and svg files, ready to be cut. We are adding cdr, eps, svg, pdg, ai, png and Crafter svg files separated out and ready to use to all of our designs on the website! Upload the rhinestone design to your vinyl cutter's software program to send the cut to your vinyl cutter. When prepping a rhinestone design to be cut, it's most important to size the holes to fit the rhinestones you will be using. We use the following measurements for hotfix rhinestones: ss06 = .1" ss10=.135" ss16=.173" ss20=.208" ss30=.270" ss34=.302" For this training and these rhinestone mask designs, we used Hot-Fix Diamond Cut SS10 Rhinestones therhinestoneworld.com/hot-fix-diamond-cut-ss10-rhinestones or you can choose Hot-Fix Korean 5A Low Lead SS10 Rhinestones. To cut the template, peel the protective backing from our Magic Flock Template Material and place directly on your sticky mat. If you use a Graphtec CE7000-60 Cutter w/ Stand or other vinyl cutter which does not need a cutting mat, simply load the Magic Flock into your vinyl cutter, fuzzy side up. Create a custom setting to cut the Magic Flock in your software. We have our recommended Cut Specs shared under our Frequently Asked Questions section on the website. For the Cameo machines, we recommend: a Blade Depth of 6, Force 30, Speed 10 and 2 cuts or double cut. For the Cricut machines, we recommend 350 pressure, Fine Point Blade, Single Cut and when prompted by Design Space, choose More for pressure. After you cut your template, peel the Magic Flock template off of your sticky mat. To scrape off the tiny dots, we use: therhinestoneworld.com/vinyl-squeegee-ruler Pour the hotfix rhinestones onto your template and brush them into the template using a paint edger with the fuzzy white bristles. We also carry these on our site, for your convenience: therhinestoneworld.com/rhinestone-brush-monster. The rhinestones will fall in right side up. If any are upside down, simply brush a small pile of rhinestones over the template using large, gentle circles and then use straight lines to brush away the excess. The rhinestones will right themselves in the template. Use a piece of therhinestoneworld.com/acrylic-rhinestone-hot-fix-transfer-tape-12, form into a U shape and drop the tape straight down onto your design. Rub your hands across the tape to pick up all the rhinestones. You have just made a rhinestone transfer! If your design has more than one color of rhinestone, we use our Parchment Paper hack to help align the rhinestones on the Acrylic Rhinestone Hotfix tape to the second template of rhinestones. The Parchment paper will keep the tape from picking up any rhinestones until you've lined up your design. Create a hinge on one side with your tape, lift the tape to remove the parchment and drop your tape back down to pick up the second color of rhinestones. When pressing rhinestones to any garment, you need consistent, even heat and pressure. Be sure to watch for any seams, zippers or buttons, as those can throw off the pressure and some zippers or buttons will melt in in your heat press. Press ss10 and ss06 rhinestones at 325 degrees F for 15 seconds. You want to get the heat from your platen all the way through the rhinestone to liquify the heat activated adhesive disc on the back of the rhinestone. Properly applied rhinestones can go through the washer and dryer and will likely outlast the rest of the shirt. Keep in mind, there is no way to remove a mistake when using hotfix rhinestones. You can heat the rhinestone and re-liquify the stone to try to pick it off, but the glue residue will remain behind on the shirt.
