Shiny, light-playing jewelry has long won the love of modern women of fashion. Today there are several types of rhinestones, depending on which the methods of gluing are different.
Instructions
Step 1
Cold-set glue rhinestones are flat bottom rhinestones. They are glued with 2-component epoxy glue to various solid objects such as cell phones, flash cards, key chains, etc. This glue can be purchased both in household and automotive specialized stores.
Step 2
The bottom of hot-melt rhinestones or thermostas is already treated with a special glue, which, under the influence of high temperatures, begins to melt, thus sticking to the required surface. Most often they are used in the textile industry. In these cases, hot-melt rhinestones are applied to the fabric and then ironed with an iron. Also for these types of rhinestones, you can use a special soldering iron.
Step 3
Rhinestones with a flat bottom with several holes made in it are called sewn. In order to fix them on clothes, it is enough to sew them with ordinary threads.
Step 4
Jewelry rhinestones, transparent or with colored amalgam, have a trapezoidal bottom. They are most often used for gluing into various jewelry, most often in frames. In addition, inlaying with such rhinestones is now widespread using a special technological process. If jewelry rhinestones have a colored amalgam, then to obtain a bright light glare from all sides, similar to the sparkling of diamonds, holes are first drilled in its bottom, and then it is mounted on epoxy glue.
Step 5
Buttons and pendants are rhinestones made using the unique Swarovski technology. They shimmer in the sunlight, bringing a certain mystery and charm to the item of clothing.
