Sparkle with Swarovski

July 31st, 2008 . by admin

If you want to add a little sparkle and shine to your fashion then you need to use Swarovski crystals.
These genuine austrian crystals shine brightly as their light gleams off yourfashion accessories. It doesn’t matter what you want to add sparkle toowhether it be flip flops, hats, shirts, shoes or even a purse you will verysatisfied with the result. Swarovski crystals do come in various styles,shapes and colors. The most common is the Swarovski 2028 model which is a flat backed stone that is also foil backed to provide maximum reflection.
The 2028 stones have 16 facets on them to provide for maximum reflection. Do not settle for older models such as the 2000 or 2012 which have only 8 and 12 facets respectively. Remember more facets means better light reflection and hence more sparkle.

So, how do you apply these lovely crystals sometimes also known as rhinestones? Well, you can use stones that have glue already present on them. These hot fix rhinestones are very easy to apply. All one needs to do is obtain a hotfix applicator tool of which there are many to choose from. Choose the right size tip and plug in the tool. The tip will heat up at which point you grab the stone and press it onto your desired fashion accessory. We love using these for clothing because they are the most durable after multiple washings.

You can also use simple flat back rhinestones which do not have any glue on the back, but require you to use craft glue. Some of the most common types of craft glues include E6000, Gem-tac and Dazzle-tac. We recommend flat back stones for non-fabric goods. If you need many rhinestones you should find a merchant that sells wholesale rhinestones to the public. There is no need to spend more than you should.
