Easiest Way to Clean Up Rhinestones: Silhouette Tutorial & Review

If you work with rhinestones at all you know they can leave behind a mess...or a lot of waste.  I have tried all different methods to get excess rhinestones, that don't fill my Silhouette-cut rhinestone template, back into the little bags.   Nothing seems to work well....until now!

Who has time to pick each one up individually?  Not this girl. I've tried working on a piece of paper or flexible backing so I can kind of bend it and slide them back in - the bags are just so small. Sometimes I even resort to just throwing my hands up and sweeping them into the trash. Shhh...

How to Make String Art Patterns with Silhouette

I've been wanting to make string art for some time and I knew that my Silhouette would make it so easy.  Using the rhinestone feature you can make DIY String Art Patterns with just the click of a button in Silhouette Studio.

How to Make Custom Rhinestone Designs in Silhouette Studio

It's an exciting day here at Silhouette School! Not only do I have a really cool tutorial on how to make custom Rhinestone designs for you...but it's Silhouette Challenge Group day and that means....

Before we get to all their awesome projects let's talk Rhinestones.  Today's is the second lesson in the Rhinestone Series.  The Rhinestone 101 lesson covered how to Rhinestone using pre-made rhinestone designs that you can purchase from the online store. But what's really cool about the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition (and why it's one of my favorite things ever) is that you can turn ANY design or any font into a Rhinestone design very easily.  So while you don't need DE to rhinestone, if you want to make custom designs you will need it.  Oh and in case you're wondering what other features the upgrade gives you (or if it's even worth it) check out the 13 reasons why I say Silhouette Studio Designer Edition is definitely worth it.

Okay so let's say you have Designer Edition and you have a design in your library or you imported a jpeg, traced it and now want to make it a rhinestone design (as is the case with this pair of flip flops).
