You might know that I have four kids. Well, if any of you had older siblings you might know what it’s like to get hand-me-downs. Ella, my youngest has two older sisters and she is very familiar with hand-me-downs…
She picked out a red shirt and a pair of shorts her sister Hannah had only worn a few times. Then I let her pick out ANY of the Rhinestone Designs on the Silhouette Online Store. I was surprised at how many designs they have!! We might have spent a couple of hours deciding on our favorite — just sayin’. It was a hard decision for a 6 year old!!
1. Took the Rhinestone Transfer paper, loaded it into the Silhouette machine and printed out the image.
2. Poked out the holes.
3. We used the Silhouette Universal hook to poke out the holes.
4. Once the image was clean, we peeled off the back of the special Rhinestone Transfer Paper and adhered it to the backing board that came with the kit.
5. Took the various sizes of Rhinestones and decided where to place them in the design.
6. Used a special tool that came with the kit to push the rhinestones into the holes.
7. Got the rest of the rhinestones in place with another special tool.
8. This tool is the Pick Me Up and has a sticky end that grabs the rhinestone so you can pick it up and put it in place. Very handy.
9. Once the design was ready, we got out our transfer paper.
10. We laid a piece of transfer paper over the top of the design, sticky side down and pressed down on the design.
11. Then when we peeled the paper up, the rhinestones were stuck to the inside.
12. The last thing was to lay the transfer paper over the spot where we wanted the design to be on the top and shirt and then we ironed the rhinestones on the fabric. And to make it stick even more, we turned the shirt and shorts inside out and ironed them from the inside as well.

Adorable outfit.. good recycle job! and I wanted to say… VERY nice job on the Tut. Obviously the company sent out a lot of the kits since they are on all the " hot blogs" right now but I have to say I now fully understand the process now based on your tutorial.. thanks!

What a sweet way to change an outfit. I like how now the hand me downs are all new for her. Darling daughter. Happy Easter week end to you.

Re: my previous comment on the discount code not working … Looks like the rhinestones are all discounted, and your code works for the Silhouette with the bundle. I think they just didn't put the rhinestone starter kit on sale, and that's what I was looking for. No worries. Love your post! Thanks again!

Oh how cute. I remember when my daughter was into adding bling to her things (even her shoes)!
Erin says
This is so cool! My daughter would freak out if I made her something this cute!

That is VERY cute, friend!

Some people have said that the TATER code doesn't work. I went in to the Silhouette site and tried the code and it worked for me for the Silhouette machine and rhinestone bundle. If you are just looking to buy rhinestones and no silhouette, all the rhinestones are on sale through Silhouette and Silhouette told me that the price will be reduced at the end when you check out. Let me know if anyone has problems and I will get back to ASAP.
Have a great Friday!
