DIY: Rhinestone (or strassing) a shirt

Let's DIY a rhinestone shirt! Usually when I think of rhinestones, I think of small toddlers and preteen, disney channel, hannah montana crap in K-Mart clearance bins. However they can be super chic too. 


Finished Product:


You need:

  • Rhinestones- Got mine off ebay. I got 2000, but i used like 1000. 
  • Tshirt- Old from Hanes
  • A design printed on a sheet of paper
  • Jewel-It by Aleene's
Step 1: Cut out your design.



Step 2: Draw your design on your tshirt. Also, you might want to take the time to mark out what colors you want to use, where you want to rhinestone in blahblahblah. 
Step 3: Glue on Rhinestones with Jewel-It
Halfway done! 

I have to do an OOTD with this shirt sometime :)

I had a great time reading and memorizing the steps. I'll try this on weekend. I'm so excited to make one, I will pair the shirt to my old designer jeans.
