After placing the rhinestone on your garment or item, you heat it up with a BeJeweler tool or with transfer film and a standard iron.
These are stones with a little glob of dried glue on the back. Hot-fix rhinestones have made it easier to work with rhinestones.
But if you are like me and are not willing to pay high prices for name brands (especially brands you are not even into), I offer you this alternative. Rhinestones aren’t for line dancing anymore! They’ve become popular with hip clothing labels like Bebe and Baby Phat.
