SwarovskiŽ Austrian Crystals, also called rhinestones, are acknowledged to be the finest man-made crystals available.
They have 12 facets (smooth surface cut) and sparkle brilliantly.
For many years, these crystals have been the premium embellishment of fashion designers, ballroom dancers, and competitive
skaters.
Now they are available for the home embroiderer, sewer, quilter, doll maker, miniaturist, and many other crafters.
Use them individually to enhance embroidery designs, or arrange them to create a completely unique design.
Crystals are backed with a heat-activated glue, eliminating the mess of bottled glues
Application is quick and easy, and unlike other similar crystals, there are no setting teeth to interfere with the
look of the crystal.
When properly applied, projects can be machine washed, machine dried, or dry cleaned.
You can use a household iron, but only to apply them to fabric
To apply crystals with an iron:
Preheat dry iron to cotton setting (no steam)
Place crystal, glue side
down, on fabric
Cover with a thin cloth or handkerchief
Press for 10–15 seconds using downward pressure
