Buy Crystal Rhinestones for Glueing
Swarovski adhesive rhinestones are a must-have in the world of DIY crafting and customization. Their high-quality crystal offers exceptional light refraction, far surpassing that of ordinary glass or synthetic rhinestones.
Here are a few reasons to choose them:
- Unmatched brilliance thanks to the precise cut of Swarovski facets
- A wide range of sizes, from 2 mm to 8 mm, for all uses
- Dozens of colors: clear (Crystal), pastel, intense, AB (Aurora Borealis)…
- Easy application: just a dab of glue is enough—no special tools required
They differ from Swarovski Hotfix rhinestones, which have a pre-glued backing that adheres with heat, without the need for glue.
What surfaces can you apply rhinestones to?
These adhesive rhinestones can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces:
- Jewelry: rings, bracelets, barrettes, hairpins
- Fashion accessories: bags, shoes, belts (note: on flexible materials like leather or PVC, the rhinestones may not adhere very well)
- Textiles: jackets, scarves, etc. (rhinestones won’t adhere well to velvet or Lycra)
- Home decor: photo frames, candles, notebooks, everyday items
For long-lasting results, we recommend a specialized rhinestone adhesive or a jewelry adhesive like Hasulith. Check out our guide on how to apply rhinestones to choose the right technique for your surface.

How do you glue rhinestones onto fabric?
Here are the steps for a clean, long-lasting result:
- Prepare the fabric: clean and degrease the area, then let it dry completely
- Apply a tiny drop of fabric glue to the back of the rhinestone (or directly to the fabric for very small rhinestones)
- Place the rhinestone using tweezers or a rhinestone applicator for greater precision
- Press lightly for a few seconds and let it dry flat, without moving the piece
- Allow the glue to dry completely before wearing or washing the garment

What kind of glue should I use to attach rhinestones to fabric?
To attach hotfix rhinestones to fabric, use a flexible, clear, wash-resistant fabric adhesive. It must remain flexible after drying so it doesn’t crack when the fabric moves. This is the ideal solution for delicate or non-heat-resistant fabrics. If the fabric can withstand heat, iron-on hotfix rhinestones remain the most durable option. In any case, be sure to apply the adhesive to a clean, dry, and untreated fabric for optimal adhesion.
What is the difference between a hotfix rhinestone and an adhesive rhinestone?
Hotfix rhinestones (or iron-on rhinestones) are applied using an iron or a heat gun: their backs are already coated with heat-activated adhesive. Rhinestones that require gluing, on the other hand, need you to apply the glue yourself: they are more versatile because they are compatible with almost any surface (metal, plastic, wood, resin, and non-heat-resistant fabric).
