Craft gem and rhinestone FAQs

What is a rhinestone?

A rhinestone is a faux diamond that, when used for crafts, is usually made from plastic. More expensive rhinestones used in expensive jewellery and accessories will be made from crystal glass.

How do I stick on craft gems and rhinestones?

If your craft gems come on a sticker sheet, then they will be ready to stick on as soon as you peel them off the sheet, as the gem back will be sticky. Loose plastic gems may need to have a paper backing peeled off them to reveal a sticky side, or they may have a layer of glue that needs to be melted with an iron or heat press to make them adhesive.

Can I alter craft gems and rhinestones?

You can colour clear or white plastic gems with permanent alcohol-based markers. Avoid using water-based markers, as the colour will wipe off. You can also drill holes through larger gems using a hand drill with a thin drill bit if you'd like to sew your plastic gems into clothing.
