hi
quick question a friends asked for some tshirts with rhinestones on for a party, never done this before so some basic questions:
can I use cotton tshirts that she already has or do they have to be specifically made for rhinestones?
what tape do I need to use - going to make my own design and want to know what tape I need to stick the rhinestones to (I understand my design needs to be printed our in mirror view)and from a short video on YouTube I note that they stick some sort of clear tape to one side of the stones and the back that was peeled of to the otherside, not sure which way the stones need to be put on my design and what this tape is about so that they are the correct way so when I heat press them they stick to the tshirts the correct way. Is there a tutorial or can anyone advise?
and if I wanted to do a design with dye sub ink and add a few rhinestones can that be done on a heat press if so what do I do first or how would I apply the stones to the image or cant it be done as I would have thought if you do the image 1st then reheat for the rhinestones you would ruin your original sub image?
finally is there a specific sort of rhinestone I need to get with glue on the back?
thanks Lisa
