How to choose a good rhinestone pattern
Hot stamping diamond patterns can add sparkle and glamor to clothing, accessories or home furnishings, but with a wide range of styles available, how do you pick a design that is both beautiful and practical? Here are a few key points to help you easily choose your favorite hot stamping diamond pattern.
- Choose the style according to the use
Different occasions and carriers are suitable for different styles of hot stamping diamonds. For example:
Clothing decoration: dresses are suitable for gorgeous crystal diamonds, daily T-shirt can choose simple letters or small patterns.
Home furnishings: pillows, tablecloths, etc. are suitable for washable and wear-resistant acrylic diamonds, with geometric or floral patterns.
Handmade DIY: free to combine small particles of hot diamonds to create personalized designs.
- Focus on pattern design and size
Classic models (such as stars, hearts, flowers) are durable and suitable for long-term use.
Trendy models (such as IP co-branding, abstract art) are more personalized, but need to consider whether they are easily outdated.
Size ratio: choose 1-3cm fine patterns for small decorations (cuffs, neckline); large decorations (hemlines, backpacks) can be made in large sizes or densely arranged designs.
- Pay attention to the material and process of hot drilling
Crystal drill: high brightness, suitable for high-end clothing, but more expensive.
Acrylic drill: lightweight and wear-resistant, cost-effective, suitable for daily use.
Glass drill: translucent, but heavy and fragile.
In addition, check the cutting process (such as octagonal cut, rose cut) and the quality of the backing adhesive of the ironing drill to ensure that it is not easy to fall off after ironing.
- Consider firmness and maintenance
High-temperature ironing diamonds are suitable for heat-resistant fabrics such as cotton and polyester, while fragile fabrics such as chiffon and silk should choose low-temperature ironing diamonds or sewing models.
If you need to wash frequently, choose the products labeled “machine washable” to avoid falling off the drill particles.
- Reasonable budget and purchase channels
Affordable models (acrylic diamonds) are suitable for novices to try, mid-range and high-end (imitation crystal diamonds) are suitable for delicate decoration, and luxury models (such as Swarovski) are suitable for special occasions.
When buying online, look at buyers’ actual pictures to avoid color difference; offline, you can observe the luster and adhesion of the diamonds on the spot.
