Both repair crystals and flat stones are very popular and deciding which is the better choice simply depend on what you want to do with them. Therefore, to understand the differences between them, you need to know the following.

There are two sides to the repair procedure rhinestone. One side is crystal and the back is grey. You will notice that you do not need to apply glue to these stones, as this side has already been added with dry glue. You can use a hotfix rhinestone setter to add the hotfix crystals to the material you are working with. As the glue is already present, you only need to heat it from the inlay machine. Once applied, the repair rhinestones are permanent and they will not come off the fabric. This is because the glue melts and bonds to the material. The beauty of these rhinestones is that they can be aligned exactly where you want them to be.

This bedazzler kit with rhinestones are perfect for creating more special and unique customized garments. You can use them to decorate t-shirts, jeans, scarves, bags, shoes, and dresses. You can also get more creative and carry out a project that includes applying Hotfix crystals to your curtains or pillows.

For all beginners eager to learn how to include repair rhinestones in their projects, here's a tip: start with the simplest of clothes and add these crystals to a simple t-shirt. Create a template for the shape you want - it could be a star, heart, etc; or simply place the crystals along the neckline. Then use the patch setter to apply the rhinestones. That's it. There are no rules about how many crystals can be placed on a t-shirt. It depends on the design you want to create. If you want to create a larger design, we recommend using an iron to apply the rhinestones with precision.

The flat back rhinestones are also double-sided. One side is also the side where the sparkling crystals are located, but the other side is also grey and smooth and flat. As you can guess, no dry glue is used here. You have to apply the glue yourself. You can use glue such as E-6000 or Gem-tac to apply the stones to the material. These adhesives are also suitable for fabrics. The crystals are very small and you are therefore unable to pick them up by hand. To glue them, you need to pick them up one by one with tweezers and place them on the area where you have previously applied the glue.

When using flat-bottomed rhinestones in your project, make sure that you first prepare the design before proceeding with the glue. As for the materials, you can apply them, you can use flat back rhinestones for any art or material you don't mind loosening up. Whether you choose to make a project to personalize your clothes, decorate your home or make bespoke jewelry, flatback crystals are perfect for showing off your artistic side. But remember - if you want more permanent crystals for your project, then you will have to use touch-up rhinestones.

The only big difference between flat-backed rhinestones and hotfix rhinestones is this: Hotfix Rhinestones applicator are recommended for fabric only. They are not recommended for use on paper, plastic, leather, glass, or rubber. The reason for this is as follows: the heat set rhinestone setters we are talking about for helping to apply crystals are very hot and will burn these materials. However, it is perfectly fine to use repair rhinestones on muslin.

So whether you decide to use a repair process or flat rhinestones for your next creative piece, we can assure you that these sparkling gems will soon become your obsession and hotfix tool will inspire the artist in you to design new and original pieces.
