A Guide To Making Rhinestone Sliders

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.

Now before one would start with the process, one should first make sure that the slider is cleaned so that it looks nice to begin with. He may use any acidic substance like vinegar or any other type. Once the slider is clean, then one may continue with the process.

Now the first thing to do would be to get the bottle of super glue. The thing about super glue is that it actually is very dangerous to the skin which means that one has to be extremely careful when he is handling this type of substance. In order to be safer, it is advised that one would wear some rubber gloves while he is doing this.

Now the next step here would be to get some of that super glue and smear just the right amount on to the surface of the slider. From there, take some tweezers and pluck the rhinestones one by one. After that, one should place the rhinestones on to the slider until the entire thing is already filled up the way he wants it to be or the way he designed it to be.

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.
