I’ll also share a bonus tip for using transfer tape to make weeding your flock so much quicker and easier (plus a secret tip for managing the mess of all those weeded holes).Īnd don’t worry about eyeballing the placement of your rhinestones – I’ve included holes for rhinestone guides in each template, so you’ll have no trouble lining up each layer perfectly!

To make our template, we’ll use flo ck material, which feels a lot like thin felt.

You can even use the Cricut Joy for custom mini rhinestone designs. It helps for easy application with your heat press too, since we’ll be heat-applying each template one at a time.Ĭutting your template on your Cricut makes the process super easy, and you can use any Cricut cutting machine to make rhinestone templates. Splitting the design up into separate templates helps make sure the right rhinestones go in the right spots. My heart-shaped rose design uses a total of seven separate templates – one for each different color or size rhinestone. Cool, huh? I can’t wait to share everything I learned so you can get dazzling results your first time.

That’s right, there’s no fancy software needed you can make and cut the whole template in the same program.
