Just an FYI....I am not affiliated with either Cricut or Silhouette, I bought all of my machines & crafting supplies. You might get different answers from people who are connected with the companies....Me I just call it like I see it from my own experiences making stuff!
@@RosasUtopia So that SVG file has been combined or welded, so that when it comes into design space, it is seen as one design. If it wasn't welded together, DS tries to load each individual circle and it can take forever!! It will eventually load, despite any complaining or warning messages from DS, but it will take a while.
You helped me do what i have been trying to do! no fuss no muss. just put your camera on and showed us the "how-to" with flaws and all. Those flaws helped us when we encountered the same thing. Those tiny a** dots would come up and i didnt try and scrap them because you showed it didnt work. I appreciate your work! thanks again!
This comment made my day! I worry that my videos aren't fancy enough sometimes, so I greatly appreciate hearing you like the videos! I hope your rhinestone project turned out awesome!!
AWESOME! I'm new to Cricut, and saw something about rhinestones on the Cricut Maker Facebook page. I'm not ready for this, yet, but had to see. GREAT tutorial! Thanks!
I wish rhinestones were cheaper!! Perfect Press HTV has some that are the cheapest, that I have found, but they only come in the standard colors-They are also cheaper in the 50 gross size rather than the 25 gross. Becreateful is one place I buy more pretty Rhinestones & The Rhinestone World. Also I found one place on Amazon, just be really careful on Amazon that they are hotfix Rhinestones. amzn.to/3DatRwj - that's my affiliate link for amazon rhinestones.
Im very, very new to this. I haven't even made my first rhinestone project. Do you have a video how to make the rhinestone pattern in design space or were? Also, did you make the decal video for the Cricut Air 2? Out of the two places where to get rhinestone, which one do you prefer? I love your comment about the cameo. thk u so much
Cricut's Design Space isn't meant for designing....just bringing in designs & cutting, at the moment, it is an EXTREMELY limited program. I use the Rhinestone World's software but it's expensive. There are tutorials for using Inkscape or Silhouette Studio Business edition for creating Templates. I don't have any, creating templates is a bit tedious!!
No decal video yet, the cup is still sitting on my desk for it! I love both places I mentioned in the video, I have spent lots of money at both! JSI has the standard colors cheaper than TRW, but TRW has all of the fancier colors. I think I have answered all of your questions!!
You would need an outside program, design space doesn’t have a function to allow you to make your own templates. I would check out the silhouette studio business edition (paid upgrade), you can create & export as an svg. Inkscape is free & I believe it has tools for Rhinestones. I use the rhinestone world’s wizard which works inside Corel draw but it’s expensive for a causal user. Below is a link to a video I made on an easy to create a rhinestone template in silhouette studios. th-cam.com/video/51tfbHtkReU/w-d-xo.html
Question I have downloaded my images and set the size properly and when I weld it it turns dark when I cut it it does not make the holes. What am I doing wrong? I have the circuit explorer air 2
What is it cutting if it’s not cutting circles? Keep in mind design spaces struggles with rhinestone files, so it might take a little trial & error with DS to get it to cooperate!
This was very helpful and informative. It opened my eyes to wanting to do a rhinestone shirt so I can add to newly mix of items to create with my Cricut. Thank you
Michelle Ford I use The Rhinestone World’s macro for Coral Draw. Silhouette studio also has some rhinestone features & I think people have made them Inkscape. To be honest they are a bit tedious to make!!
You would need to either need to convert it yourself or pay somebody to convert your design into a rhinestone template. You can google The Rhinestone World, under their design tab on their webpage, there is a place for a custom design request.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery I literally just got done looking on their site. Have you used them ? If so roughly how much is it to convert a custom if you haven’t it’s ok and I will just follow through
@@swaggsick09 I have ordered from them lots in the past & have even done their in house training, they are great. Not the cheapest! I would imagine there are cheaper options out there I just don't know them. Making Rhinestone templates is tedious, so that makes them a bit pricey.
If you don’t want to cut or design them at all, you can check out the rhinestone world, they cut out rhinestone templates & do custom designs....but it’s not cheap!
Hi I was unable to understand the Cricut settings for cutting. It would be mice to see you select specifically all settings. New to Cricut and understanding each move is important. Also do you have templates for mask or could these be resized? Great video and thank you.
I really wouldn't recommend rhinestones for a begninner....it would be much better if you were pretty proficient at your cricut before you tackled rhinestones. I do not have templates for masks. And you cannot re-size a template--the rhinestones have to fit in correctly, so you cannot change the size from the size the designer created it.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery thank you for your honest and quick feedback. I look forward to the day when I can design rhinestones templayes and create beautiful projects as you. Thank you.
OMG!!I I was just about to get out of doing rhinestones I just got off the phone with cricut support and they said I can't use my cricut air 2. Thank you so so much for this video. They said it wouldn't cut the flock. Can you tell me what setting you use on the cricut? Pls
You can totally make rhinestones with the Explorer AIr 2! What ever setting I used, it was mentioned in the video, I don't remember right off hand. I think some times Cricut & Silhouette just says no to things, rather than trying to trouble shoot something that isn't there product.
Hi, I tried the rhinestone cut with the bonded fabric and it doesn't cut good, I have the explore air 2. I messed up 2 flock sheets. Ugh. Please any advice
So I am doing this with a brand new blade that might be the difference. I would try........ 1) test cutting you settings next time, draw a couple of circle in DS & try them out with your settings 2) You can try more or less pressure in the settings based on if it is cutting to deep or not deep enough 3) Check out the Rhinestone World, he has come up with some custom settings for the flock 4) Also if you aren't using the Red or Blue flock, it will be different settings, not all flock is the same.
You can totally cut a rhinestone design using a Cricut explore air 2!! That one was made on one!! You would need different software to actually make a template, design space is not set up for that!
Is use the rhinestone world’s toolbar that works with Corel draw. I believe you can make some in Inkscape, but I don’t know how. They are a bit tedious to make to be honest!
I am having a hard time getting my rhinestones to fall in the holes I would like to know if I should leave the sticky back on then apply rhinestones I don’t know what I am doing wrong help
Bernice Ward make sure that you are pouring enough Rhinestones on your design before you try to brush them in. Also make sure the template is the correct size for the Rhinestones you have. I am not sure what you mean when you say - leave on the sticky back?
This was the best explanation I've seen so far. Other people talk about buying software and spending lots of money. I just purchased the explore air 2. I didn't know I was able to do this. Is that other software for making my own designs only? Or does using the design space let you do it for free. I'm new to this so anything to enlighten me would help tremendously. Thanks.
Sorry I missed your comment, I try to respond to all of them! Design Space is an extremely limited program, & for the most part is only for bringing in an already created design & cutting it. So a lot of Cricut users go to other programs so they can make their own designs, modify existing designs or work around some of DS's quirks. I hope that helps!
A LOT! Probably hundreds of times honestly, if you take care of them. Generally the only reason you would have to get rid of them is if you tear them or if they really loose their sticky on the back.
You should be able to re-size your design up at the top, just make sure that your whole design is selected. I put the link to the re-size video below, that might help. But you can make designs larger than 6.75 inches. th-cam.com/video/oBfrsdbJB18/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately, design space doesn’t have any tools in their software to make rhinestone templates. Check out the rhinestone world, they have videos on how to make templates in Corel draw.

This was helpful to me, thanks for sharing. I'm going to try when i get home
How did you get the SVG file to upload so quickly? I tried the other day and gave up it was taking forever :-(
How do you weld them?
@@gomargo Awesome I am so Glad to hear!!
@@RosasUtopia So that SVG file has been combined or welded, so that when it comes into design space, it is seen as one design. If it wasn't welded together, DS tries to load each individual circle and it can take forever!! It will eventually load, despite any complaining or warning messages from DS, but it will take a while.
This is THE BEST video on this process that I have watched so far. It was very detailed, but no too long!!! Thank you sooooo much!

I want to thank you so much for your tutorial. I just purchased a cricut maker and i love tutorials from start to finish.
Yeah I am so glad to hear this!!
This just answered every question I had pondering and so much more! Thanks for such an informative tutorial! ❤️❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed and learned!!
You are a great teacher.Thanks for such an enjoyable video.
Thank you so much!! It's really Appreciated!!
Do you have a video of how to make the files to do scattered rhinestones?
No I don't have any tutorials for that
And the rhinestones GI into the design glue side down? Wow, that’s magical
ha! It kinda is like magic!!
Thank you helped me out a lot what a supplies did you use?
Glad you enjoyed! There is a list of supplies used in the description above.
Thanks for helping your information was very helpful💖
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Any advice on the best place to get rhinestones at? Have a real hard time finding affordable rhinestones for my brand

Are the rhinestones that you use SS10? I am new at this craft but would like to try it, so I wasn’t sure which ones to buy. Thanks for your help.

@@MissMaryEmbroidery Thank you i can see that it's a lot but now that we have down time i think i am going to try
So question. What do I do if I have a brand and wanna use my own logo to do the rhinestone

What blade are you using and what settings?
The standard blade that comes with the machine -- the settings used are in the video during the section using it in design space.
Where can I purchase customized preçut rhinestone templates
If you don’t want to cut or design them at all, you can check out the rhinestone world, they cut out rhinestone templates & do custom designs....but it’s not cheap!

Honestly I don't know! Cricut's design space isn't a program that I know well!!
If I have a Cricut explore air 2 I should be able to make rhinestone design?
You can totally cut a rhinestone design using a Cricut explore air 2!! That one was made on one!! You would need different software to actually make a template, design space is not set up for that!
Miss Mary Embroidery what software would you recommend
Is use the rhinestone world’s toolbar that works with Corel draw. I believe you can make some in Inkscape, but I don’t know how. They are a bit tedious to make to be honest!
What software do you use to make your templates to upload to design space?
I use Corel draw with the rhinestone world’s wizard.
do you mirror your work when doing rhinestones
Bernice Ward no you do not mirror rhinestone templates.
Miss Mary Embroidery thank you
Can I ask how did you got the splatter rhinestones around the pumpkin face?
Lucy it was made in Corel draw with the the rhinestone world’s toolbar.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery can you send me the link to get that toolbar?
appreciate
Go to The Rhinestone world;s webpage & look under their software page.
I am having a hard time getting my rhinestones to fall in the holes I would like to know if I should leave the sticky back on then apply rhinestones I don’t know what I am doing wrong help
Bernice Ward make sure that you are pouring enough Rhinestones on your design before you try to brush them in. Also make sure the template is the correct size for the Rhinestones you have. I am not sure what you mean when you say - leave on the sticky back?
Miss Mary Embroidery I talking about the back that be on it after u cut out your template
Hi did you change your pressure and cut settings for cutting on flock paper with the Cricut?
No I didn't change any of the settings before I cut & it was a really new blade.
This was the best explanation I've seen so far. Other people talk about buying software and spending lots of money. I just purchased the explore air 2. I didn't know I was able to do this.

What software have you used
austin Picard the program in the video is cricut design space.
No the software were you cute the templets . . wizard , sure cuts alot?
austin Picard I use the rhinestone wizard tool bar to create the templates.
how many times can you reuse the flock ?
A LOT! Probably hundreds of times honestly, if you take care of them. Generally the only reason you would have to get rid of them is if you tear them or if they really loose their sticky on the back.
Hello, which settings did you use? I'm new to this and all the holes didn't punch out like this at all. I have a Cricut Explorer Air 2
The setting I used is in the video & I had a brand new blade & mat too.
I'm curious too! Although it said fabric there are several different types of fabric listed so this wasn't a clear answer she gave.
where you getting magic flock or rock it, can't find on amazon
For each of my videos there is a list of supplies in the description with links. I get flock from The Rhinestone World, JSI Signs, and Be creatful.
I can’t get my image larger than 6.75 in cricut am I doing something wrong?
You should be able to re-size your design up at the top, just make sure that your whole design is selected. I put the link to the re-size video below, that might help. But you can make designs larger than 6.75 inches.
th-cam.com/video/oBfrsdbJB18/w-d-xo.html
I have a cricut maker anyone know what setting to cut the flock on?
I don't have a maker, so am not sure of the settings for it...Sorry!
I like silhouette better.😉
Haha! I love my cameo too!
Disappointed because I thought this was supposed to teach you how to create a rhinestone template.
Unfortunately, design space doesn’t have any tools in their software to make rhinestone templates. Check out the rhinestone world, they have videos on how to make templates in Corel draw.
