Decorate Your Clothes Using Rhinestone Shirt Decorations

By Noemi Wallner


A great method of personalizing clothing is to use rhinestone shirt decorations. These rhinestone iron ons are fun and not hard to use. Anyone can turn a simple item of clothing into some bling with just a design in hand and an iron.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of sparkly designs to choose from when you work with rhinestone transfers. Pick a design, any design, that suits you. With this method, you can iron on the design you want, without having to struggle to place each stone correctly, since it is all done for you.

To transfer these iron ons, you do not need much. Take the item you want to apply the design to and spread it out carefully on a hard surface. It is a good idea to put a piece of cardboard inside the garment to protect it.

Remove the backing of the transfer. You should always check that all the little stones are in the right place, since they might move around sometimes. If any are out of place, you can put them back with tweezers. Very carefully put the paper with the stones sticky side down on the garment. Make sure it is in the right spot.

With the iron on Wool heat, spread a cloth over the design and set the iron on top. There is no need to move it, as this could ruin the design. Let it heat for approximately a minute. Heavier clothing, like denim, will require more time to heat properly.

Once you have completely heated the piece, let it cool. Then lift the transfer paper and see if the stones are stuck on. If not, you will need to reheat using the same instructions as above, since the glue is not completely melted. If they are thoroughly stuck, turn the item of clothing inside out and iron the other side of the design. This pulls the glue into the cloth and can be repeated any time the pieces seem loose.

When washing the clothing with this type of stones on it, be sure to flip the clothes inside out to keep the design intact. It is a good technique to decorate not only tops, but pants and skirts, as well as caps and shoes. You can add sparkle to just about anything that is fabric. Since it is super easy to do the transfer, you can do more than one.

Use rhinestone shirt decorations to turn your clothing into something special. This is a good way to make a personalized gift, as well. You will enjoy making them and your friends will enjoy receiving.
