Tired of a dull dress but don’t have the time to sparkle up your design?
Or perhaps you just want some Shining Secret to Rhinestone Faster? 
We would like to share with you three simple techniques on how to rhinestone fast with glue! Who new prestik/ beeswax and a toothpick could be such a life saver.
​

  • PRESTIK – Yes, prestik or beeswax is now your new bestest friend. Picking up and placing stones couldn’t be easier. Grab an old pencil or even a toothpick and add a blob at the tip. Remember to shape the prestik at the tip of the pencil into a point. This way there isn’t a large surface area. If there’s a large surface area, it becomes more difficult to place the stone as the stone will not release.
If you using beeswax, break a small amount and rub it between the palms of your hands. This will warm it up and let you shape it as mentioned above.

  • DIP IT method – Place a small amount of glue on a flat surface or into a container. Using your new prestik stick, pick up a rhinestone and dip it into the glue. Just enough so that it laces the bottom of the rhinestone. Then place it onto your design.
 
  • DOT IT method – Helpful for when you’re in a rush. Instead of dipping the rhinestone in glue, we will place the glue onto the garment first. Using our prestik stick we will pick up a rhinestone and place it onto the garment already laced in glue. This method gives a stronger hold as more glue is being used compared to the 'Dip it' but does mean that more glue with me visible.
