Usage of thermoscale
Rhinestones( small glass or plastic shiny crystals of different colors) - a popular element for clothes and nylon-art, sewn or( which happens more often) glued to the surface. We'll figure out how to glue rhinestones on clothes or nails, so that they are there firmly.
Large decorative elements of this type are often provided with holes for sewing, but small glitters can only be glued. How to do it right? About this further.
We use thermostrases
This type of decor is best suited if you do not want to think at all, than paste the rhinestones on your clothes. Their lower surface is covered with a special compound, which when heated tightly connects the shiny pebbles with the cloth.
- Rhinestones arrange things in the right order.
- Then the product is covered with gauze or other cloth that can withstand heat.
- On top of it, carefully, trying not to move the rhinestones, conduct an iron heated in a suitable temperature mode.
The connection is quite strong, you can tear off the sequins only with a physical effort. For this reason, decorated things should not be washed in a typewriter - a great chance to spoil the decor itself and damage the small parts of the detail of the stylalki. Neat handwashing on clothes is usually experienced without any consequences.
Tip
If you plan to lay out entire patterns of shining pebbles on the thing, then before you paste the rhinestones on the fabric, it is necessary to make a sketch on paper, and even better - to outline the decor on the fabric with a tailor's chalk or a usual slice of soap. Traces of marking are usually easily removed if they are rubbed, rinsed in water or wet with a damp cloth.
Fastening on glue
To choose the suitable glue for rhinestones on a fabric - perhaps the most difficult and responsible stage. Stationery compounds are not able to provide a strong connection, "Moment" and its analogues can dissolve the lower brilliant coating of rhinestones, and besides, they often spread over the fabric with ugly spots. Therefore, rhinestones on clothing should be attached solely to universal adhesives, the instructions to which will indicate that they are suitable for fabric products( for example, Bostik All Purpose), or specialized textiles( Gutermann).You can buy them in shops that sell fabrics and related products or household goods.
It is very easy to glue rhinestones on the fabric - a small droplet of glue drips in the right place of the product or on the reverse side of the rhinestones, then pressed against the surface of the fabric. For small glitters it is better to use tweezers or toothpicks, with large ones you can manage your fingers. The setting speed of each particular glue is usually indicated on its packaging, and before the expiration of this time it is best to leave the clothes still.
We paste the rhinestones on the nails
Do not attach decorative glitter to the nail plate and do not attach it thermally, so we'll figure it out, how can it be safely pasted.
Lacquer mounting
This method is suitable only for small( and, accordingly, light) rhinestones. Use it is possible as a colored varnish, and a base or top cover. It is not necessary to hope, that such decor will last very long, but 1-2 days in the absence of intensive mechanical influence on it - completely. If the varnish is thick, spread the rhinestones immediately after its application, if liquid - give it a little dry, so that the decor does not "swim".
Large rhinestones can be accurately placed on the nail directly with your finger or tweezers; for small ones, a toothpick or orange tree stick, often found in manicure tools, is better suited. The tip of the wand should be lightly moistened and then, with one glitter, lay out with its help the desired decor of the rhinestones on the nail. For greater strength after drying the main coat of toothpaste with a toothpick or a very thin brush between the strasses, you can add a transparent topcoat, making sure that it does not get on the shiny elements themselves, because their color from this will fade.
For lovers of gel-lacquer technology is as follows: the decor of the rhinestones on the nail accurately unfolds over the top layer of the coating, after which this coating is already dried in a UV lamp.
Using glue
If you are thinking about how to glue rhinestones on your nails, and look at the glue "Moment" or its analogue, then you know: this is not the best possible option. They are easy to find in the store, they give a lasting mix of sequins and nails, in small quantities and with the account of applying at least one layer of nail polish to the nail plate is almost harmless. But because of the rather aggressive chemical composition, they can dissolve the lower brilliant coating of rhinestones, and when frozen, often leave whitish traces, spoiling the whole manicure.
But which glue to use? The best option will be specialized compounds( for rhinestones, attaching false nails or repairing natural ones).Similar means are in the assortment of many cosmetic companies:
- Gehwol;
- CND;
- Orly;
- EzFlow;
- IBD;
- KISS;
- Sophin and many others.
The price of such products varies depending on the manufacturer and the volume of packaging, but on average is 100-300 rubles.per bottle for 10-20 ml.
As with the decoration of the fabric, some glue is placed on the nail or the reverse side of the rhinestone, after which it is pressed against the nail plate and allowed to dry. Get rid of rhinestones usually easily possible in the process of removing manicure nail polish remover. If something does not work out, you can gently poke them with the tip of a pair of tweezers or nail files, or bite off with manicure tweezers.
Recommendations for decorating nails
When decorating nails with rhinestones it is very easy to overdo it, and then the manicure will look alapisto and vulgar. To prevent this, for each nail should be limited to a maximum of 2-3 medium crystals or 5-6 small, large and do not use at all. The shorter and smaller the nail plate, the smaller and smaller the stones are better to apply.
As for color, it is better not to use too many shades in one design. Select the tone is better close to the color of the varnish or pattern on the nails, or contrasting. It is better to choose universal shades - white, black, red, gray, light beige, silver or gold.
As in the case of fabric decoration, if a complex pattern is planned, then before embedding the rhinestones on the nails, it should at least be sketched out on paper.
Summing up
To glue rhinestones on clothes or decorate them with a manicure - the task is simple and accessible even to a person far from needlework or nail design. Do not rush, be careful, use specialized glue compounds and follow the instructions for their use - that's all the basic rules, under which the decor of shining stones will long please the look.
