How to Apply Our Wholesale Rhinestones
Master the art of applying glue-on and hotfix rhinestones. Follow this step-by-step guide to achieve professional results in no time!
Glue-On Rhinestones
- Gather your materials: glue-on rhinestones, a suitable adhesive, a wax pen, a toothpick, and a clean, flat surface to work on.
- Prepare the surface you want to embellish by ensuring it's clean, dry, and free of dust or oils.
- Apply a small amount of adhesive to the surface of the object you want to bedazzle. For best practice, use a precision tip bottle or a glue with a precision tip attached to put down dots of glue rather than spreading the glue on your surface. Little goes a long way!
- Use a wax pen to carefully pick up each rhinestone and place it onto the glue dot. Press down lightly to secure it in place.
- Allow the adhesive to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 24 hours.
Hotfix Rhinestones
- Gather your materials: hotfix rhinestones, a hotfix applicator wand or a heatpress machine, a wax pen, and a clean, flat, heat-resistant surface to work on.
- Ensure the surface you want to embellish is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils.
Option 1: Using a Hotfix Wand
- Preheat the hotfix applicator wand according to the manufacturer's instructions, and choose the correct tip size for your rhinestones.
- Using a wax pen, pick up a hotfix rhinestone by its top (faceted) side, and place it onto the desired area of your project with the glue side down.
- Carefully apply the preheated applicator wand to the top of the rhinestone, holding it vertically and applying gentle pressure. Hold the wand in place for the recommended time (usually around 10-15 seconds) to melt the glue.
- Remove the applicator wand and allow the rhinestone to cool and set before handling your project.
Option 2: Using a Heat Press
- Preheat your heat press to 300–320°F with medium to firm pressure. Time will vary by fabric, but is typically 15–20 seconds.
- Using a wax pen, place the rhinestones glue-side down on your garment. Cover the design with a Teflon sheet or pressing cloth.
- Close the heat press and apply pressure for the recommended time. Then lift and allow to cool before moving the item.
Pro Tips:
- Always test a small section if unsure how your fabric reacts to heat.
- Do not slide the wand or press—hold still to ensure even glue activation.

Is there a minimum order quantity for wholesale rhinestones?
When you're ordering bulk bags, no minimum is required — you can purchase just one and still receive the discounted wholesale price. Each bulk package typically contains 10 times the quantity of rhinestones that our regular packs do. For example, regular packs of sizes SS6–SS20 contain 10 gross (1,440 pieces), while bulk packs contain 100 gross (14,400 pieces).
Can I mix sizes or colors in a single wholesale pack?
Each wholesale pack contains only rhinestones of a single color and size, and there's no way to order a single bulk bag of mixed rhinestones. However, customers with a wholesale account can mix and match packs that are different in color, size, shape, and material to meet the $300 minimum for additional discounts.
Are these rhinestones suitable for both fabric and hard surfaces?
Yes. Our rhinestones adhere well to both fabric and hard surfaces, as long as you apply them with an adhesive that's right for the surface you've chosen. We offer glass rhinestones and jelly (resin) rhinestones, giving you options for different projects and applications.
How long does shipping typically take for wholesale orders?
Wholesale orders ship from Los Angeles within 1–3 business days, just like regular orders. Delivery times depend on the shipping method selected at checkout. Free shipping typically arrives in about one week, but we offer faster shipping options depending on your needs — including overnight shipping — for an additional fee.
For great prices and the flexibility to mix and match products, you can sign up for a wholesale account with us. This not only gives you access to exclusive promotions, it also provides additional discounts on orders of $300+ and allows you to mix and match products to reach the minimum.
