You will need rhinestone transfer sheets, backing board, and template paper to cut the design on. Secondly, you need more than just Rhinestones to complete your project.

The rhinestone cut file I'm sharing uses size 10ss rhinestones in red, cobalt blue and metallic - all from Expressions Vinyl. Keep in mind when you purchase a Rhinestone design (or use a free cut file like the one I'm providing) the circlesĪre exactly the size of the rhinestones so you can NOT resize theĭesign or the circles will change sizes along with the design and your rhinestones will not fit correctly! You also want to make sure you're purchasing the correct size rhinestones to fit the template. So rest assured.this tutorial does NOT use Designer Edition. While you do need DE to create custom rhinestone designs, you can use rhinestone shapes from the online store or other sources (like Silhouette School's free studio file) to be used with the standard Studio. Many people think you must have Silhouette Studio Designer Edition to make rhinestone designs. Now let's get to making your first project.

Bring your patience (You will learn to have a love/hate relationship with rhinestones.at least I do).

I'll take you through everything there is to know about Silhouette Rhinestones so you can get creating your own rhinestone masterpieces with confidence.Īre you ready to get started? I'll share a free cut file with you. And so, my friends, today I am launching Silhouette School's Rhinestones Series so I can share what all the bling and buzz is about over a course of four (or possibly 5) more manageable tutorials. Instead of trying to fit all there is to know about rhinestones into one tutorial - and risk causing confusion and even more questions - I thought I'd do the same thing I did with sketch pens and that is break it down into a series. The demand for tutorials on Silhouette Rhinestones has reached a feverish pitch.
