Kerry, I bought some hot fix rhinestones for wedding usage and here's the website that I used: 2028 Swarovski Hot Fix Rhinestones | Dreamtime Creations

it'll bring you to the page for 5mm rhinestones just to give you an idea of the cost. I think the first one is like $7 for 1/2 gross (72 pieces).

Are you sure you mean the Hot Fix and not the flatback rhinestones? The hot fix are the ones that you need the gun for, they kind of "stick" to the gun and then you glue them on. The flatbacks are ones that you need glue, a rhinestone stick that is kind of gummy to pick up the rhinestones, an iron, and transfer paper. Maybe you were looking at the wrong "type" of rhinestone?

I am not sure. In the first post of the thread it says Hotfix Flatback so I have not idea. Per this thread she was making them with an iron and mylar paper so I am assuming Hotfix is the brand and flatback is the style?

Kerry, Hotfix is a style and so is flat back. They're both "rhintestones". Technically they both have flat backs but the Hot Fix stones have a glue that melts on the back of them which is why you only need a "gun" to adhere them.

The flat backs just have a regular silver backing to them. Because she made her stuff using mylar paper and and an iron they are the regular "flat backs" and NOT the Hot Fix.

Hope that helps!

girls they are hotfix rhinestones meaning they have glue on them already and the hot iron will melt them. I have made tank tops, t-shirts, panties, and a hoodie all using these, it works just follow the directions.

 

I have had several pm's asking about the mylar paper and the rhinestones I got the mylar paper on ebay

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
