Definitely would do some shirts for my daughter and probably some home accessories for my sister since her house is full of bling!
This is a long post, but stick with me and read to the end. We’ve got a special deal on a Silhouette machine for you, as well as a chance to enter a giveaway for a Silhouette and rhinestone bundle. Read to the bottom for the exciting specials and giveaway!!
Several months ago I had the opportunity to review the Silhouette SD machine. You can read my review of the machine itself here. I also wrote up a couple of tutorials – one for using the iron-on vinyl to make a Happy Note fabric napkin and one for using freezer paper stencil to make faces for softies.
If you thought that’s all the Silhouette can do with sewing , you’re wrong.
Another really exciting feature of this machine is the ability to cut templates for setting heat-fix rhinestones. These little sparkly gems are sooo awesome to add a bit of zazz to a sewing project, or even just a plain store-bought tee.
The Review
I had a chance to use the rhinestone template starter kit this week. I used it to make a handful of t-shirts for my daughter. I had planned to make just one, but I just… couldn’t… stop.
My first go was with a simple peace sign design. It was really a test run, and I made it on a scrap of knit fabric. It turned out so cute that I made a whole shirt to put it on. Little girl loved it!
Then, I raided her drawers and found a pair of plain tees. The black tee got a hot pink rhinestone kitty. This was so quick and easy!! My daughter’s friend came over and saw it. She immediately asked me to make one for her, too. Because I’ve already got the template cut and ready to use, I could be the Awesome Mom and say, “Sure! What size t-shirt do you wear?”
And then I realized that I could combine applique with the rhinestones. Be still my heart!
For the white tee, I used a raincloud template to make a sparkly cloud on a piece of old denim. I put fusible on the back and appliqued it down the shirt, along with some fabric that just happened to be printed with sparkly raindrops. A smattering of hearts finishes it off. I know it’s obnoxious to brag on your own stuff – but isn’t it the cutest???
Though it looks difficult to create the rhinestone designs, the Silhouette makes it really easy to do. I’m going to skip giving a step-by-step for creating the template and setting the rhinestones, since the instructions they provide are so good. Get their PDF instruction sheet to see how it’s done. You can also view a video demo.
As I played with the Silhouette rhinestones, I jotted down my observations. I could ooze on and on, but I’ll give you the condensed version:
Economical and good selection. I’ve seen rhinestone iron-ons at the hobby store before, but never bought them because 1) they’re pretty pricey and 2) the selection is slim. But making them yourself turns out to be pretty economical. Once you have the Silhouette machine, all you need to create your own iron-on rhinestone designs is the rhinestone starter kit. As for selection, there are tons of designs available for purchase in their online library.
The $30 starter kit has everything you need to start with your own rhinestone designs: sheets of rhinestone template material, 2 backing boards and 2 sheets of transfer tape, positioning brush, acrylic work tray, 10ss clear rhinestones, and bonus CD of exclusive rhinesone template designs (alphabet and shapes). You can purchase additional template designs from the Silhouette online library for just .99 each.
Templates are not resizable. Unlike the other designs in the Silhouette online store, the rhinestone templates are not resizable. The reason is simple; the templates are made up of tiny circles sized just right to hold the rhinestones and arranged to make a shape. If you resize the template, the circles will no longer be the right size. This isn’t really a biggie; just something to keep in mind. Most of the designs in their online library state the dimensions so you can know if the size will work for your project before you download it.
Different sizes of rhinestones. The most inexpensive rhinestones are the 10ss clear. The other colors and larger sizes are more expensive. Luckily, the bulk of the designs make use of the 10ss size, but you’ll find that you need some of the larger sizes to complete many designs. Larger designs are usually made up primarily of the smaller, least expensive size and use the larger ones as accents.
Keeping up with all of those little rhinestones. Though you can’t see it in the packaging, the rhinestones all come in resealable bags. Yay!!! That makes keeping up with them loads easier! When setting the design, I raided my stamping supplies and pulled out my embossing powder tray. The shallow tray has a pour spout at one end. The sides of the tray kept the rhinestones from rolling all over my table, and when I was done I could easily pour them bag into the baggie. (The tray doesn’t come with the rhinestone starter kit, but you can usually purchase them inexpensively from hobby stores.)
How long will my materials last? In order to create a rhinestone iron-on, you need four things: rhinestones, template vinyl, transfer tape, and backing board. You will eventually use them up and need to replace them. The transfer tape and the rhinestones get used up more quickly than the template vinyl and the backing board. Once created, the template (made from the cut template vinyl placed on the backing board) can be used as many times as you like – though each time you’ll use up some of your rhinestones and transfer tape (you’ll need a piece large enough to cover your design). I was able to create 5 templates from one sheet of vinyl, and I placed all of them on one double-sided backing board. For refills, you can purchase sets of template vinyl, transfer tape, and backing board together; or, you can also purchase just the transfer tape.
Cut multiple templates at one time. I’m stingy by nature, so I very quickly realized that if I’m planning on cutting several small templates that it makes more sense to cut them all the same time. That way I can position them to make the most efficient use of the template material. One word of caution: Those little cut circles are really hard to see before you pull the template vinyl off of the paper backing. If you want to separate the templates, wait until after you pull them off of the paper backing before cutting them apart. That way you won’t accidentally cut down the middle of a design with your scissors.
You will become hooked. It took all of one shiny, sparkly design on a t-shirt to get me hooked. There is now not a plain t-shirt in my house that is safe from getting rhinestone’d with my Silhouette. And don’t limit yourself to t-shirts. These would make such fun embellishments for a purse, for hair accessories (the smaller designs), scrapbook pages, or home dec framed art.

Winning this new toy would make my life easier…my dauthter refufes to wear clothes that aren’t sparkly.
I have been researching the Silhouette compared to the competition for a few months now, and I really have my heart set on buying the Silhouette. I love its versatility, and it is much more economical because you can create your own designs rather than buying “template” for everything. My husband wants me to wait so he can buy me one for a gift, but I am positive he wouldn’t object if I won one on my own….
Fingers crossed!

I would start with some pillows for my daughters room, then some, shirts, next her shoes, maybe some bows, a little bling everywhere!!!
I would make a bunch of sparkly tshirts and one very sparkly skirt for a very special costume day!
my classroom would be amazing!
I think I would go a little bling crazy and add some sparkle to just about everything. Starting with all my now-boring t-shirts.
What a great review. I’m going to see if we can feature this product in our sewing category. Thank you for being so thorough.

My girls would love this!! It would be so fun to have one of these. They would want to use it on everything
I would add bling to my daughters clothes.
I would make my daughters’ onesies SPARKLE!
Way cool! I’m looking to recycle some old t-shirt designs onto sweatshirts, and need to add some embellishment – this would be perfect for the project!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’ve been looking at this machine for a long long time! I really would love to try all the things it does. I have a little girl due in August so I would add bling to her little baby clothes and bows maybe a diaper bag. It would be so much fun!!
I remember you reviewing the silhouette machine and how much you liked it. I was the the one that suggested that you give it to your Mom since she had so much trouble with the other one she got. I am sure you share though. I would love to win this giveaway. I am a new crazy quilter and would love to try the appliques and embellishments.
Sorry that was another person who did a review. Her mother had a hard time with another machine and the Silhouette was so much easier. I am still sure you would share.
I’d love to try out the fabric cutting capabilities! Everything looks like so much fun!
this spring EVERYTHING is nautical and military inspired. i need this machine to transform my wardrobe into this season’s hottest trends! i have a million t-shirts, jackets, skirts, shorts, oh… you name it! that NEED rhinestones and studs!!
thank you for having this giveaway!! how exciting!!
I have two sweet girls who love all things sparkly. I would love to add some sparkle to their clothes, starting with a few of their tees! Thanks.
I think I’d start with adding sparkle to shirts and shoes for my daughter. She’d love it. I’ve been coveting a Silhouette for a while. It’s a big ticket item, so winning one would be fantastic. kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
It’s hard to decide what I would do! Maybe I’d start with one of my tote bags though.
Thanks for the giveaway!
The first thing that would get a rinestone makeover would be all of my 2 daughters pants they often get each other’s pants mixed up and they all look the same so I would let each daughter design their pants to be different. I have been looking at all the different machines but not purchased one yet. I would love to win.
I’d make a shirt with that cute cat for my niece.
I would add some “bling” to my daughters shirts this summer! Probably mine too!! I would love to win this!!
Oh my gosh I NEED (want desperately) one of these! Thank you so much for the giveaway!
I would make all kinds of cute baby girl gifts! (My sister is due in July
)

Hmm, I could start with sparklies for the Diva kitty, (a little tiara on her favorite sleep blankie), then bling out some knitting bags, and move onto T-shirts. Oh! and the curtains in my almost-finished studio!
I would make a label for the laundry hamper. Then, maybe my husband would know where it is.
I would embellish one of my (many) boring t-shirts and make it workplace-worthy. What an awesome giveaway!
I would start by making some of my t-shirts shine and some for my bff. I’ll have to refrain form transforming my finance’s shirts.
oh wow, i’d love to have this.
I would bling my inspiration board in my sewing room…something I use every day!
I would make my everything for my niece’s sparkle!!
I’d make a sparkly sign for my 9 year old sister’s room
Ooo. I’d love to use this for t-shirts and handbags!
What couldn’t I do if I had one of those? I kinda like the idea of making some sparkly totebags and maybe making those $5 canvas sneakers just a little bit more dazzling.
I would love to make my daughter some shirts and maybe add bling to a few bags
My niece loves sparkly things… so I would definitely have to make her something with rhinestones on it. Maybe a little purse or shirt. Either way, it will definitely be fun to try!
I’d love to add some sparkle to my skirts – and shoes, jackets, hats … Thanks for the chance to win!
Ooooh, I could make EVERYTHING shiny!!! And I probably would….. : )
What wouldn’t I embellish is the real question. I’d probably start with my wallets and coin purses though. Shoes would be cute too. Oh! And scarves!
I would bling my world …….starting with a totebag.
I would love to make some beautiful things for my daughter to wear…she’s 2-1/2!
I would love this to use on my granddaughter’s figure skating outfits. It would sure cut down my time of putting rhinestones on them…how awesome is this?
With two girls, I would make them so many things!!! It could make everything sparkle! So want one!
Sounds silly when I say it out loud— but I would put shiny happy goodness on my husband’s bicycle jacket to improve visibility. (have already sewn on led flashers, night-light tape, a couple of those circular reflectors and ultra-bright tape) Better safe than sorry for those who cycle in the dark and grey Northwest.
be well
I would decorate clothing for my granddaughters–they would love it.
[...] past week were the rhinestone t-shirts I made for the Silhouette Rhinestone Starter Kit review. (Read my review & enter the giveaway.) I’ve already posted them, but I’m going to repeat them here [...]
I would definitely make my daughter a crown with the silhouette rhinestone kit!
I’m pretty sure you could see my house shine from a block away from all the things I’d bling!
Oh, how fun would it be to adorn little onesies with bling?! That is what I would do….all the pregnant ladies at church would be getting such cute clothes for their little ones. So fun.
Would love to win! I’d add some sparkle to…some favorite notebooks, if that is possible? And a book bag too.
Yay! I love this giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity. I would “bling” my girls’ wardrobes. I also make custom party hats and this would really add that little extra to my hats!
Okay, I am wanting one of these SO bad. I would probably label everything and adhere tons of phrases all over my home!! AND I would definitely rhinestone most everything of my newborn daughter’s clothes!!! I would also add rhinestone designs to my invitations and party/favor decor!!
t-shirts, dresses, gifts for my 7-year old niece! (and maybe some for me too!)
I saw the cutest rinestone 4th of July shirts the other day, I would love to make my own for my girls this year.
I would love to add some sparkle to a purse!
I would add bling to my handbags. What fun that would be!!!!
Thank you for the oportunity…
If I won I would make some cute tops for a couple of my friends daughters. (two sets of twin girls…) They would love the sparkle!
A sparkly t-shirt for ME!
my cell phone, my camera, my demin jacket, my sneakers, my beach bag….
My daughter is being inducted into the National Honor Society this week and I would make her a bodacious t-shirt with lots of stars and swirls. She deserves the very best.
OMG, I love this thing! I want to decorate my computer, my craft room, make some boxes and decorate THEM. I’d decorate my grandson, but my daughter and son-in-law would KILL me. Maybe I can stop little girls on the street and decorate them! Seriously, I have been wanting one of these for AGES!
Oh my! I love this machine and I’ve been jonesing for it. First they improve it by making it cut through material and now rhinestones. Geez.
Thanks for the offer!

This machine looks great! I thought it was mainly for scrapbooking & cutting vinyl ~ who knew you could use it for Rhinestones too! Very cool!
I would use it to embellish some sneaks for my littles and some gift boxes for an upcoming baby shower! Thanks for the giveaway
