Well that seems logical but when I looked at the material it wasn't real cheap do to the size of the roll you had to buy. Well I read about one method here buying a second sticky material applying it to the flock and then BAM sticky flock. So I was back to my non sticky Hack a Flock. It could probably work in a real pinch but it's certainly less than ideal. I actually have some glitter material that is even thicker than the Stahls CAD-CUT but abandonded the idea of using heat presss vinyl for a rhinestone template. Had the right thickness two layers but it was difficult to brush the stones into compared to the flock. I knew one layer wouldn't do the trick but what if I stacked two layers?. So my first thought was hey I have this old Stahls CAD-CUT material I used to use and that stuff is pretty thick. So I get to thinking what else could I use for template material if I'm looking to do something on the cheap. My backerboard leaves a little bit to be desired but it worked. Now back to my experiment on the Rhinestone Template Material. Save yourself a few bucks and get the Wal-Mart Rhinestone Brush. So let this be a lessen I guess if you didn't know newbie. LOL There is a stamp on the handle with the same brand name. Not only is it similar it's exactly the same brush. I'm in the paint department at Wal-Mart this evening. It looks like one of those edge trimmer brushes you paint with?įunny thing. So I get my package today and I see this brush and I think to myself. I found a supplier that could get me some stuff quick after I ordered the other kits so I ordered some stones and stuff from them to get started. In my quest to get stoning I ordered several kits from several companies and they just couldn't get here fast enough. A little surprised but it seemed to work great. I didn't have the press warmed up so I just took an iron and ironed the flock to the cardboard. stick the blade out to the max set my pressure at 110 and slow my cutter to a crawl and cut a simple design.Ĭut perfectly as you can see and to my surprise it worked perfectly! My backcker board is just a piece a thin chipboard. So I throw in a roll of 6 year flock I had. COOL stuff.īut I'm just experimenting with things for now. Now I know the deal with the Sticky Flock is the static build-up is minimized and because of the sticky back you can make multi layer templates and what not. Well there's a little more to it than that. I used it a little in the past not too much but hey Sticky Flock is just Flock with a sticky back no?. I had this roll of flock in my shop for the past 5 or 6 years. Who knew the Cricut machine took standard Roland blades?. ( I have one on order) I got so desparate for it to come I was thinking it would of been here last Friday (Yesterday) that I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a 60 deg. Heck I wasn't even sure if my dang cheapo Red Sail cutter would cut the stuff.I didn't have a 60 deg. Well I didn't spend the bucks on Sticky Flock. I ordered a little bit from here and there to test some stuff out. So she's interested in this Rhinestoning. So I went up to the shop did a little dusting and it was if I never left. My finance expressed an interest and I reminded her you know I have that shop up town full of equipment sitting there. (Lot's of Pictures Below ) Maybe worth the read?ĥ years or so ago or whenever DAS was first coming out with their Rhinestone "System", I locked the door and walked out of my embroidery and screen printing shop and took a few years off. I wanted to share some funny info and some things I tried as someone new and what worked and what didn't.
