I just bought a hot fix crystal applicator and colored and clear crystals. It is so much fun to play with like a new toy. Emblibrary even has crystal designs . I am off to bling something.

I also have one- HAD to have it- didn't use it yet-but I will-one of these days!

Plug it in and bling,bling,bling!

I got one of these a while back - used it to bling my GD lacey butterfly shirt. I am going to make myself one too! Have fun!

Well - with this new toy - you could be whittling your projects down to nothing in no time. Keep on stitching.

Bev this is what my daughter uses to "bling up" The Irish Dance dresses that she makes. LOL

Oh fun. I used mine for the first time about 6 weeks ago to bling up a peacock from Adorable Ideas.

Yes, Karen - so happy to SEE you.

I love this tool and have used it so many times. I just finished a denim purse and put almost 300 x 5mm
clear crystals on it. Its in the project section. Right now its on page 7 but that could change, its titled Denim purse with Rhinestones. The picture really doesn't show them, but they just sparkle. I have had so many compliments on it. I have never lost one crystal in all the things I have put them on.

I found some one inch appliques i had bought . A tiny poiensettia and a tiny wreath. I added red and yellow crystals and will glue these to earring backs for christmas. I bought the 3 mm crystals so they fit perfect.

It lets you apply crystals that have a special glue on the back. This is the one I got. It gets hot and melts the glue to set the crystal where you want it.

What is a hot fix crystal applicator?

I love hot fix crystals, they give a final touch to any embroidery. Last year for Christmas I made some embroidered kitchen towel , I added crystal, now I am using them in my regular day, so I have washed and even bleached those towels, and the crystals are OK.

I L*VE to BLING BLING my items...DIAMONDS are a GIRLS Best Friend...Happy BLINGING LOL ;D *2U

So funny you should be taking about hot fix crystals! I'm going to attempt to put a few on my neice's bridal veil. Won't be using the applicator though. Wish me luck!
