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.

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!

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.

What is a hot fix crystal applicator?

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.

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.

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

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