These Swarovski flat backs are beads that have a flat side, which is usually dipped in sticky substance. These beads can be attached on cotton or lycra, and sometimes even on jeans.
Individual beads look like buttons without the usual section where a needle will pass through for attaching. The side with the glue on it will be the attachment point. The glue isn’t yet activated when you obtain the beads or patterns. You have got to press a heat source on the glue-soaked surface for it to stick to the textile.
Have you always wanted to create items of clothing with crystals on them? Use these five steps to attach your Swarovski flat backs to clothing:
Step 1.
Select your beads from Swarovski flat backs shops online. You can choose from many colors but it’s better to choose colors of Swarovski flat backs that match your clothing. If you want, you can get motifs instead of individual flat back beads.
Step 2.
Get a nice shirt that needs some glitters for add-ons. This shirt does not need to be new, but it has to be clean for the glue to stick to the cloth . Plain garments are preferred so that the bling will stand out.
Step 3:
Set the Swarovski flat backs face side down on the ironing board. Position the shirt over the beads. Exposing the reverse part of the shirt, position an ironing fabric and press the heated iron on it.. After this, you can start with the ironing.
Step 4:
Ironing. If an iron is being used, heat the iron before pressing. Press methodically until you feel that the glue has heated through enough.
Step 5:
Let it set. Wash the shirt on low tumble using warm water. After washing, iron the reverse side. You should know that a special applicator is available for you to use on your Swarovski flat backs. Usually, the applicator is a part of a Swarovski flat backs fixing kit.
If you want to save money, you can make do with your iron. But an applicator also serves many uses. Applicators are definitely a must if you want to work on all your clothes.
