Silhouette Rhinestone Template Kit

As soon as I saw that Silhouette were bringing out a kit to create items using rhinestone's I knew I had to have it. I love the effect rhinestone's gives to something. 

I ended up making two projects the first was this bag which I made as a practice and a bit of a joke to my mum. My mum often takes me out shopping and is forever calling me all sorts of names before she gets to mine, I wouldn't mind but I am her only child lol. I used three different sized stones on this, I think you can make out from the photo that the heart is size 10ss, the I and M are 16ss and the K is 20ss.


Supplies:-
Linen Shopper - Ebay
Rhinestone Templates - Cute Rhinestone Heart Swirl #6625 by Samantha Walker (I offset it which gave this lovely effect) & the lettering was the classic alpha's that came as part of the kit.

My second item I made for Sophie my step granddaughter who loves ladybirds and so once I saw the template I knew it would be perfect. It was made with two sizes of stone most of it is size 16ss and then I added 3 size 20ss to the tips of each antennae for extra effect.

 
The outline shape is red and the spots are pink, I was going to do them black but once Sophie saw the pink version in the Silhouette store that was what she wanted. Here is a closer view, you may just be able to work out the colours in this photo.

Supplies:-
T-Shirt - Lidl
Rhinestone Template - Ladybug #6018 by Evan Ehat


Now hop on over to see what my DT sister have created for you inspiration and to link up your Rhinestone projects.

Kim,
These are really great projects. I like that you let us know what sizes you used. Using the different size rhinestones makes the designs even prettier.
