    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (42)

    I really do love my CAMEO. It’s semi-permanent home is on my coffee table. I use it so often. There are so many things you can do with a CAMEO. When you want to sport some bling, reach for the rhinestones! I’m going to show you step by step how easy it is to embellish clothing, such as hats, shirts, and jeans.

    First I want to show you what’s included in this great promotional bundle:Silhouette CAMEOSilhouette CAMEO™

    rhinestone starter kit on white

    Rhinestone Starter Kit

    Rhinestone-Shapes

    This shows all of the  Rhinestone designs included  with your Starter Kit through the Silhouette Online Store. (remember, other designs are available for .99, or cheaper if you purchase a subscription)

    Here’s how I embellished a cute little denim purse. . .

    imageI chose my images in my Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition. NOTE: you should not resize your rhinestone images. You can see that once you choose Silhouette Rhinestone Template Material, the software will tell you to reset your blade, and to cut green side up.

    Tip: I was only wanting the heart for this design, but I didn’t want to waste the material, so I went on and cut out the word Diva, for a later project.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (2)I cut my material with my CAMEO.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (7)After I cut the images, I cut the excess material off to save for a future project. To me it’s all about not having any waste. I slowly peel the green material back.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial The dots stay neatly right where they are suppose to be.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (11)On the top, you can see the green material (upside down) and the dots that were left behind.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (13)I carefully turn the green template material over onto a “backing board”.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial I start filling in the holes with my 10ss pink rhinestones, using the rhinestone positioning brush.

    keeping it real: this takes patience—the rhinestones simply sit in the holes. If you were to bump or drop your backing board, you would have a mess on your hands. just sayin’

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial I got out my hook tool, to help scoot some of the rhinestones in place. This image had a couple of holes for larger rhinestones. Although I have larger ones, I wanted to show you that you don’t necessarily have to use them.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (17)I cut a small piece of the transfer tape, and peel it back slightly.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (18)Very carefully and quickly I lay it down onto the heart. Sometimes there is static electricity and the rhinestones will want to hop up onto the transfer sheet.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (19)I carefully pull the transfer sheet up, and voila! all the rhinestones are in tact.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (20)I dry fit the heart to see where I want to place it.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (22)Off I go to the ironing board. The directions call to set your iron on the wool setting, for 45-60 seconds.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial I cover it with a cloth—that happens to be part of a drop cloth, surprise!

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (25)Ironing on the “wool” setting for 45-60 seconds didn’t quite get it.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (26)I removed the cloth and ironed directly on the transfer paper. I do NOT recommend doing this. Silhouette recommends that you use the cloth and ramp up the heat a little.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (27)No worries—it worked fine for me. You know how some ovens vary in temperature? I think my iron may vary.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (29)Cute! Don’t cha think?

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (30)I iron again for good measure.

    Tip: If you are doing a shirt, or something double sided and thin, PLACE something between the layers, or place it on the ironing board so that you are only ironing ONE layer at at time. If not, you’ll see a cut imprint of a heart ON YOUR BACK.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (41)I put a butterfly on the other side of this little purse.

    Silhouette Rhinestone Tutorial (36)I wish I was a kid again…maybe I need a big girl one??

    angel's purseI gave this to my friend’s daughter, she LOVES it!

    One last reminder, you can get a great deal by visiting Silhouette, and using the code REPURPOSED at checkout. (thanks for supporting My Repurposed Life)

      That little denim purse is super cute! The recipient reminds me of myself at her age. Since it was the '80s, a denim purse with rhinestones would have been perfect! 🙂

      Gail,
      You did great!My husband spoiled me with a Cameo for Christmas and I haven't used the Rhinestones. You showed me that Rhinestones can be simple and not to fear the bling!
      I do have a few questions for you about your experiences with washing these items. Do you have any washing tips?
      Should items with Rhinestone bedecked items be washed in the washer or hand washed?
      Inside out?
      No dryer?
      No Iron?

      Thank you!
      Carolyn W.

      Adorable! I can see where it would take A LOT of patience, which I don't usually have, but for the right project...
