It is necessary
- - rhinestones;

Instructions
Step 1
If you have chosen cold-fixing glue rhinestones with a flat bottom for decoration, then you will need epoxy glue. With its help, you can strengthen rhinestones on any solid object. To buy such glue, you will have to visit a hardware or automotive specialty store.
Step 2
To facilitate the task, you can take hot-melt rhinestones, whose bottom is covered with special glue. It tends to melt when exposed to high temperatures and firmly adhere to the surface to be decorated. Such rhinestones are often used to decorate clothes. To achieve the result, you must place the jewelry directly on the fabric and iron it gently with a hot iron. There are special soldering irons that are used for this purpose.
Step 3
To easily and simply decorate clothes, you can use sew-on rhinestones, that is, those that have a flat bottom with special holes for easy sewing. Here you will need a regular needle and a strong thread, which should match the color of the rhinestone.
Step 4
For jewelry and frames, jewelry rhinestones are often used, which can be either transparent or with colored amalgam. Their bottom is trapezoidal. Such rhinestones are attached either with glue or using special mini-machines that you hardly have at home. To make jewelry rhinestones with colored amalgam shine and shimmer even brighter and resemble diamonds, a small hole is made in their bottom. After that, the rhinestone can be attached to epoxy glue.
