The BeDazzler tool, known as the "plunger," comes with a set of rhinestones and studs and other supplies used to spruce up your things. The machines are easy to find, but it can be difficult to find additional supplies when needed. It's a good thing other manufacturers are selling the stones, but be careful when buying, though. The rhinestones and studs sold by BeDazzler are labeled with the size of the plunger while the supplies from other manufacturers are labeled using the diameter of the pieces.
The standard size of the plunger is 20. If you have the same size, you'll have to look for 6mm Tiffany studs and 5mm rhinestones. Find a store where they have these in various colors, styles and sizes. Stock as many as you like; you'll never know when you need them.
Use BeDazzler in virtually any material as long as the needle goes right into the fabric. Spruce up bandanas, shirts, gloves, hats, undergarments, scarves, handkerchiefs, sweaters, jeans, blankets or anything that comes to mind.
It is easy to use BeDazzler on cotton, lycra, blend and other thin fabrics. Use it on denim so long as the studs aren't being put on the seams or on tight corners because the material has to have enough room for the needle.
Designing things with rhinestones and studs is easy to do when using simple patterns. Do them on freehand, but for more complicated designs, first draw the design on a piece of paper. That way, avoid having to pick out the studs one by one if an error is made. In addition, calculate how much rhinestones and studs needed to complete the project.
The rhinestones and studs are really small; designs can be created that fit perfectly on shirts. Too complex of patterns won't end up well as the studs might just appear scattered profusely on the material. A short and snappy word or statement does just fine. Using word contraptions and informal spelling to shorten the words works, too.
