Information on Iron-On (Hot Fix) Swarovski Crystals

Swarovski Hot Fix rhinestones stones have glue that melts at about 340 - 375 degrees F. If your fabric is easily damaged by heat, these are not the stones for you. These stones can be applied with your household iron or a heat press. A specialized tool, the "as seen on TV" BeJeweler can also be used. The BeJeweler will pick-up round rhinestones, heat them until the glue begins to melt so that you can attach them to your fabric. Its quick, it' clean and its easy.

The weakest link in the rhinestone system is its mirror backing, the coating on the back of a rhinestone is a mirror bonded to the glass. This mirror does not have a very strong bond with the glass and can be pulled free of the glass over time. This is why you may see a silver spot where a rhinestone used to be. When you use heat set rhinestones, only the backing is glued to the fabric. These stones will come loose over time in a washing machine and/or dryer. It is highly advised to hand-wash any items with glued rhinestones, regardless of how they are put on the garment.

Do not dry clean any garment that has any kind of glued stones on it, be it glue or heat fix. Regardless of the manufacturer, the cleaning fluids can denature the glue, cause it to become yellow and brittle, or just plain dissolve it. Even Swarovski, who that says that their glue will withstand dry cleaning, it with reservations some dry cleaning will not harm the glue, other dry cleaning will. And since you do not know what kind of fluids are used at any one time, you will not know if your stones will survive the process don't take the chance!

KRISTAL SWAROVSKI **HOT FIX**

Glamorised Your Outfit

Sometimes or all the times kita suka kalau baju or tudung or kasut kita berbling-bling... Especially nak ke majlis, dinner or special occasions mesti nak extra special. Of coz la nak stand out kan. Maybe ade few yang suka yang simple sahaja. Banyak la caranya seperti:

1. Carik kain yg glamerz kaboom
2. Manik
3. Labuci
4. Batu-batan resin
5. Batu kristal lip-lap
6. Sulaman (benang/riben)
7. La ni pon ada ala batu diamond solitaire (jahit)

Kain yg glamerz ni biasala ... sure mahalkan... beratus and ada yg sampai ribu riban... hantar pon bukan boleh hantar tailor sebarangan... rosak plak kain tu...

Tapi fokus perbincangan hari ini (chewah) adalah antara manik, labuci dan hot fix kristal





Manik dan labuci ni berbeza taw.... kang ada lak yg konfius... Bunga kat gambar di atas tu, kepingan berbentuk bulat kuning dan pink tu labuci, yang berlingkar warna hijau tu manik. Lagi vogue kalau dipadan bersama batu resin yang dijahit... Memang glamer... Kalau nak jamu mata meh la tgk blog kawan kita yang sorang ni... Cantik and murah... sapa berminat boleh contact dia direct ye...elisma beads....

Selalunya kalau manik, sequins paling sesuai dibuat kat tangan and leher baju. Bukan apa kalau heavy beading kat badan, baju akan kelihatan keras, berkedut and nak maintain pon susah... Takutlah iron panas-panas... Cair plak manik n sequins tu kang.


Jadinya untuk upgrade baju supaya lebih vogue, mengancam dan very the bling-bling bolehlah ditambah hot fix kristal swarovski... Gerenti hot.. Paling sesuai kalau baju ada focal point seperti bunga sejambak... Apa lagi... tepek je kristal kat situ... Terserlah baju... Yang bagusnya kat tudung boleh ditampal... Tak kira tudung bawal ke, tudung awning sarung ke, selendang ke.... Semua boleh... Kalau kat ariani tu beratus-ratus... juzt becoz of the kristal.

Cara tampal pon mudah...

1. Sediakan hot fix kristal yang mencukupi.. (kalau setakat 5 biji ye... buang karan... x nampak) kaler yang bersesuaian. Mix n match few colours

2. Letakkan di tempat yang anda hajati. Susun ikut group... Kalau sekuntum bunga.. susun kat bunga tu

3. Letakkan iron yang panas di atasnya. Jangan gerakkan iron tu dulu. Kasi lekat. Kalau tak lain tempat lekatnya batu kristal tu. Sebab di belakang hot fix kristal tu ada gam. Kena panas... Nanti cair gam tu ye... Paling bagus pakai steam iron sebab suhunya panas tapi kain x rosak.

4. If nak wat design kristal tu boleh beli plastik bergam khas. Letak kristal di tempat rata mengikut design yang diinginkan pastu lekatkan dengan plastik bergam. Then letak atas kain dan iron.

Kristal ni pon berjenis juga of coz la yg paling terbaeeekkkk hot fix kristal swarovski yg memang terbukti kemengancamannya ( ada ke istilah ni? ) Jom cuci mata
Untuk yg menjaga bajet boleh cuba hot fix dmc from taiwan/china.... tidak silau cam kristal tu, tapi jauh lebih murah.... So pilih ye....Nak cantik or murah??? sapa nak jawab? hehehe
