Making Rhinestone Sliders At Home

By Georgia Diaz


Rhinestone sliders are small and beautiful buckles that are used on things like ribbons or other types of thin clothing. Now when one would design an invitation or make a card, it would actually be nice to tie a ribbon in the front so that it will look really classy. In order to make it look even classier, one may add a slider so that it will look much prettier.

Now the best thing about this is that it is actually quite inexpensive and also very easy to make this kind of thing at the comfort of home. The first thing that one would be needing to do would be to gather a few materials that would be needed. Of course the most important things that one will need would be some rhinestones, some sliders, and some super glue.

The first step in this entire process would be to make sure that the slider is clean and shiny before anything else. Things like vinegar or rubbing alcohol may be used in order to bring back the shine to the slider. Thoroughly clean it before going on to the very next step.

Now one has to be extremely careful with this type of glue because once something sticks to it, it will be extremely hard to come off. The thing to do here would be to apply just a little bit of glue on the parts of the slider where the pieces of rhinestones should be. It would even be better if one would actually wear some gloves at this stage.

Once the glue has been applied to the slider, the next thing to do is to use some tweezers to pick up the rhinestones and place them on the top. Now it will be completely up to the designer on how he would want to place each rhinestone on the slider. He may put as many as he wants or as little as he wants.

If one would want, he could actually apply some shiny paint on the empty parts of the slider in order for it to look nicer. However, if he would decide to do this, then he has to make sure that he does not apply too much as it will not look nice. When that is done, he should add some spray seal to keep the paint there and let it dry.

Now the last step would be to simply put the slider on the piece of ribbon that will be used. Now these sliders go with classy colors like light pink or dark blue. Of course they would also go with colors that are rather subtle like gold or even some shades of white.

So for those who would want to make an invite or a card with a ribbon, then they would want to try attaching some rhinestone sliders on it. This will not only make the invite or card prettier but even more expensive. It will definitely be a pleasing sight to the eyes.
