I Did it Myself!! Rhinestone Transfer Templates!

I'm very proud of myself--can you tell? I was able to figure out how to create my own rhinestone transfer templates, lay down the rhinestones myself, transfer (as usual) and actually make it look like I had envisioned it to!  And I figured out something else that will BLOW YOUR MIND!! Okay, well, it blew my mind--but I'll save that for last!
For Christmas I asked for some loose rhinestones and transfer tape. I wasn't sure at the time what I was going to do about a template but I do my best creative thinking when I am half asleep so last night it came to me--just use the printer and a sharpie! So, that's what I did!  I typed up my message, used a sharpie so that it would bleed through the paper and made dots on it, and then flipped it over and started laying down the stones. The stones I got were 3 mm and I just used regular tweezers to lay them down.  I wasn't sure if it was going to be straight or even legible while I was working but I was pretty happy with it when I was finished.

I used regular tweezers to manipulate the rhinestones.

My bag of rhinestones!

It was easier to dump several out.  Hard to believe I would have a Pooh Bear plate at my house!

Placing the stones on the template.  Can you see what it says?

The rest of my message!

What it looks like before I remove the backing to iron it on.

Finished product!  Sorry it's sideways--could not figure it out. If you have a laptop, just turn it. If you're on a PC, might be a bit harder!

Do you all understand what this means?  I can make anything!  ANYTHING!!  All of you who keep asking me if I could make a (blank) for (blank) and I'm like uhhh--YES!  I can! So, bring them on!  Who needs a "First Birthday" shirt?  Who needs the name of their school or mascot?  Who needs their company name? How about an "I Heart Pooky" shirt for Valentine's Day? You dream it up, I can make it!  (As long as it isn't copyrighted.  I can make "generic blond fairy in green outfit" but not Tinkerbell.)

But as earth-shattering as that is--and it's pretty earth-shattering--look what else I figured out!

Again, not such a good pic.  Can you see what it is?  It's rinestones on tulle!  RHINESTONES ON TULLE!! Do you know what this means?  I can bling up my tutus!  I can put snowflakes on that Periwinkle tutu!  I can put hearts on those Valentine's tutus!  Maybe other people are doing this but I've never seen it. I've seen a rhinestone here and there but never a pattern or an object.   In fact, I had a very experienced tutu-maker tell me not so long ago that it wasn't possible.  Oh, yes, it is!  

So, are you as excited as I am?? The possibilities are ENDLESS!!

Oh, and don't forget about my giveaway!! See previous post to find out how you can enter (or just follow this blog, or like me on Facebook!)

Helping Little Girls In Need, Final Giveaway 2012

It's the holiday season and I'm all about giving! Today, I'm asking you to think about the little girls in your community. Many of my readers are educators. Maybe you attend church or another religious affiliation. Perhaps you volunteer at a shelter or hospital. Today, I'm asking for nominees. Do you know any little girls who would love a tutu but can't afford one or whose parents are going through a rough time and just wouldn't be able to get them one right now? If so, send me a message by Wednesday evening, December 19. Let me know the circumstances and I will do my best to get all of these girls a tutu by Christmas. I don't need names just yet, only circumstances and sizes, color preference if you know it. Generic size will do. I may also need your help getting if to them. In return, I will randomly choose one of you to also receive a custom tutu. Please share this with others who may know children who could benefit. This isn't about building an audience, it's about giving back. Thank you for participating!

Our Very First Giveaway!!

To celebrate my first week of Glitter and Tulle Boutique Blogging, I'm giving away $50 in merchandise from my shop! That's right, one lucky winner will receive $50 to spend on anything in my etsy or Art Fire shop, including tutus, wreaths, boas, whatever you'd like. You can even use it for a custom order. All you have to do to enter is follow this blog. Every person that is following this blog by 9:00 PM Central time Sunday, December 16 will automatically be entered in the random drawing. What could be more simple than that? Encourage your friends to enter and maybe they'll buy you something if they win! I will also be doing another give-away starting Monday. This one will be for a tutu for your princess and one for a deserving child so check back to find out details. This one will give both of us the opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer! Thanks for visiting! Amy
