View Full Version : rhinestones stencil material
Hi! anyone have some experience with sandblasting stencil material for rhinestones??
I read on t-shirt forum that it can be used with great success. I wonder if any one try that. I already bought some to try but need to wait till next week to my roll arrive.
I tested this stencil material and it works fine! but is a bugger to weed!

I must admit that using rhinestones confuse me, so if this is full of errors then please put me right. From my very limited understanding these are heat pressable mini gems that are used to embellish items. Now it is the template that confuses me. Are these like stencils? e.g. are they full of small holes that you place on top of an item then drop the rhinestones in place and press? If so would the templates just be card of some type?
At this point I really do not understand where flock or vinyl comes in but assume that maybe somehow you stick the rhinestones to a carrier and then press and peel?
So now that I have hijacked the thread can someone give me a quick answer?

Well, I will have to visit youtube later when I get home but I think i would use my plotter to cut small holes out of thin card and just drop stones in the holes and press that way then lift off the stencil and keep for next time. I would consider flex to be too expensive unless i was going to have the rhinestones on top of the flex on my shirt etc. Perhaps things will become clearer after I get home.
Links are fine. Pick any color of sign binyl and some pro flock. You cant use cart WDR. Carier wil not lift of the card.. Heat press flock to vinyl and off you go :-) is cheap if you use flock as you will always have some wastage.

It's not possible to place rhinestones on top of vinyl, there is nothing for the glue to grab onto. You would need to cut holes in the vinyl so they make direct contact with the garment.

OK, so after looking on youtube I am about 50% there in understanding. So here goes my current understanding. You buy some ordinary sign vinyl and you heat press onto the vinyl surface a piece of tee-shirt flock. So at this point you have the from bottom to top layer vinyl backing, vinyl, flock (and i imagine flock clear front protective layer which you pull off). You then place this composite (maybe on another backing sheet) into your cutter and cut your stencil image out by cutting through the flock layer?. You then weed this flock layer to end up with a piece of flock with holes in that will stick with the sign vinyl layer backing sheet removed onto another backing. You then fill the holes with rhinestones and using mylar tape transfer the rhinestones from the flock template to the mylar tape and then ultimately you press this tape/rhinestone combo to your item.
Well I have ordered some 32cm wide Mylar tape, about to buy a sample of rhinestones and I already have sign vinyl in stock so just need some flock. Now is flock the slightly 'furry' feeling material that I remember from my childhood t-shirts. I think back in 1976 it might have been the only heat press lettering available - well it always seemed that way at Butlins.
I am sure I cannot be the only member that is confused by the whole rhinestone process however have had good fun making template designs inside corel draw to cut later so like bigj2552 I need to buy some shirts.

Well I just ordered 14400 s10 clear hot fix rhinestones from Hong Kong. To practice with that should be enough for a t-shirt or two lol
Also think this is a good deal on the mylar paper if anyone needs some at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diamante-Rhinestone-Heat-Transfer-Mylar-Tape-1m-x-32cm-SPECIAL-OFFER-/221047118587?pt=UK_Crafts_Beads_CA&hash=item33776f5afb
It is 1m lengths 32cm wide for 99p (+99p shipping on first item then 25p on rest) so to get 10m it cost me just over £13 which is I think a bargain.

The velvet feel is face down on the clear backing sheet. If you pull back the corner you'll reveal the flock.
