How to Apply Swarovski Crystal Rhinestones

• I would recommend using a glue that is clear in colour. Please avoid any glues that contain acetone, as this chemical will corrode the back of the stone.
• Place a tiny amount of glue on the item like your mobile phone, handbag or sunglasses.
• Don't use too much glue or it will seep out around the rhinestone.
• Let the glue dry just a little & place your rhinestone on the glue.
• Tweezers are an excellent option to place the Rhinestones.
• Allow the applied rhinestone to dry before placing the next one on.
• It saves accidentally moving or removing your applied rhinestone.
• Allow approximately 24 hours for the Glue to dry.

• Pre-heat iron to what ever the fabric calls for, so read the label first as you don't want your iron to get too hot. The temperature can range from 120ºC - 170°C (250°F - 340°F). A teflon pad on the base of the iron, will help protect the sole plate from glue residue.
• Please dont use steam on your iron, as this will have a negative effect on the application process.
• Instead of using an ironing board as the surface underneath your fabric, I would recommend using a hard piece of board or card, as the ironing board cover can be a bit spongey & soft. You need a firm, level surface.
• Place a piece of thick paper in between the item of clothing, to protect it from possible marks caused by the crystal components.
• Run the iron over the material first just to warm it up a little then place the rhinestones in the design you would like.
• Tweezers are great to place the Rhinestones.
• Place a lightweight towel or fabric over the rhinestones & using the iron, press & hold until the glue melts.
• You can check the rhinestones by trying to lift them with your fingernail & if they begin to lift, you will need to iron them again.
• Let them cool.
• Remember to always wash your garment inside out.
