Enhance your customization projects with our selection of 3 mm bonding rhinestones from Swarovski. Combining precision cutting and exceptional brilliance, these crystals are the essential allies for adding a touch of light to your DIY jewelry and fashion accessories.
The 3 mm size of glue-on rhinestones (corresponding to size SS12) is the Swiss Army knife of crystal decoration. Neither too large nor too small, it allows you to create complex designs while maintaining perfect legibility. With their foiled backs, they're easy to attach to any surface: rings, pendants, barrettes and more!
Successful customization rests on two pillars: preparation of the substrate and choice of adhesive.
Designer's tip: use locking pliers to manipulate your 3 mm rhinestones easily and apply the glue dot on top.
Are you a beginner and don't know how to glue rhinestones? Follow our simple instructions!
The 3 mm rhinestone is a designer's darling, allowing you to go from textile customization to high-fantasy in the blink of an eye. To help you get started, here are a few ideas from our tutorials:
For long-lasting attachment to rigid surfaces, we recommend Hasulith adhesive or a two-component epoxy adhesive (such as UHU 300). For transparent surfaces, please use an adhesive that does not whiten on drying to preserve the crystal's refraction.
Hotfix rhinestones have a solid glue base that melts under heat (iron or applicator), making them ideal for textiles and porous surfaces that can withstand heat. Stick-on rhinestones are more suitable for surfaces such as glass, metal, leather, plastic, etc.
Stick-on rhinestones adhere easily to a wide range of substrates (metal, resin, acrylic, glass, etc.). This makes them ideal for jewelry. They can easily be stuck onto a charm, an ear stud or a pendant.
