I use the highest setting on my iron and lay a pillow case over the vinyl and press down for about one to two minutes. It comes off in one nice piece! Now all that’s left to do is iron it on! Just pull up a corner and pull the negative stuff away! I used the HTV cut setting, but changed my blade depth to 5, speed to 8, and thickness to 15 for this vinyl. If your design has text, you will need to “mirror” your image. Lay your vinyl (shiny side down) onto the cutting mat. Using the box tool, I drew a box around the shape (to make it easier to weed). I resized to the size I wanted and to fit the scrap of glitter vinyyl that I had. (I love riding my bike and am so excited that weather is finally warming up and I can hit the trails soon!) For this tutorial, I am using a simple bicycle. (MOB = Mother of the Bride – in case you were wondering!) Another great thing about using glitter HTV is that you don’t HAVE to just use certain size holes to match the size of your rhinestones! That means you can adjust the size of whatever file you’re using without worrying about the size of the holes!!! I love that!įirst, I chose a rhinestone file or if you have the Designer Edition of Silhouette, you can create your own. You just peel back the negative space.Īs you can see on the tanks above, I didn’t change the all of the fonts to “rhinestones”. Place the rhinestone flock material on your cutting mat.
#Cutting rhinestone templates with silhouette manual#
Adjust your blade accordingly if you are using any type of manual blade. Move into the Send panel and select Rhinestone Template Material. (This can also be done with a CAMEO 3, 2, 1 or even a Portrait). If you try it, you may never go back to rhinestones! It is soooo easy to weed. The next step is to cut the rhinestone template material on your Silhouette CAMEO 4. I have tried other brands, but this is my favorite. My favorite glitter HTV (heat transfer vinyl) is from Specialty Graphics.
I got so frustrated! Anybody want my leftover rhinestones? Maybe I’ll try again at some point but in the meantime I’ll stick to glitter heat transfer vinyl. Very few of the stones went into the little holes, and the ones that did were upside down. I thought I followed the directions, but I just didn’t have the patience. But I learned one thing: I DO NOT have the patience for this! It seems that some people have absolutely no trouble using rhinestones – not me. I bought the kit from Silhouette America and thought I was all set to go. When I set out to make these tops, it was my intention to use rhinestones. They look and sparkle just like rhinestones but it’s glitter heat transfer vinyl! These are the tank tops that I made for my daughter, her bridesmaids and me for my daughter’s wedding a few years ago. There is a way to get the look WITHOUT rhinestones. Are you like me and LOVE the look of rhinestones but not all the tedious setting of all those little stones? Welcome back to another Silhouette® Sunday.
