Tips and Tricks
You must let the glue get good and hot. It should actually bubble up and turn white.
After laying the crystal down, use the side of the applicator and press down firmly.
Wash the cloth as if it were a delicate. Use cold water and a gentle cycle, turn the article inside out in the dryer.
Did a crystal land in the wrong spot? Heat it up with the side of the applicator tip and slide it. Dont slide it too far or you will smear away the glue.
Is there a certain pattern you would like to lay the crystals down in? Like a butterfly or flower? There are many markers on the market that wash away or just fade away after a few days. Also, you could use an iron on pencil marker. You mark the back of the pattern, with dots, where you would like the crystals. Lay the marked design on the fabric and press with an iron, voila! the pattern is transferred to the fabric in a wash away pencil. You could also just poke a whole through the pattern from the front.
Have fun! These hotfix embellishments will stick to anything that is porous. Well my sunglasses were not porous, but I wanted to apply some hot fix crystals to the rim. So.....I scratched it up with my nail file, and now they stick!
Heres a great tip from Margie in Kissimmee Florida:
I was at our local Dollar Store today and thumbing through the
childrens' coloring books, wow what fantastic designs you can get and simply
just trace them using a fine washable/fadeway marker of your choice - the
outlines last long enough to put Hot Fix Crystals and the finished product
yields a much better blouse/bag/shorts then you can purchase at retail for lots
of green more.
I picked up a coloring book of Frogs, they really are
neat and cannot wait to get a couple on my T-shirts to play golf in.
How many are in a gross? 144
Did you spill some on the floor? Put a nylon stocking over the end of the vacuum and just vacuum them up, this works real well!
Becky from Knoxville Tennessee writes: I stuck some onto my nieces hairbrush. The plastic melted and this caused them to stick.
