What other Rhinestone types are there?
Generally, the rhinestones Crystalz carries fall into one of two categories; Flat Back and Sew-On. A Flat Back rhinestone, whether glue-on, iron-on, or sew-on (Lochrosen) is flat on the back. There are two basic types of Flat Back rhinestone; Regular (glue-on) and Hotfix. Both types of Flat Back are available in the same colors. The only difference between them is the method by which they are attached to a surface.
Regular Flat Back Rhinestone: The regular Flat Back rhinestone is usually glued to a fabric or surface using one of several adhesives specially made for the purpose. They are flat on the back and have a silver foiled coating (sometimes referred to as Foil Back).
Hotfix Rhinestone: The Hotfix Flat Back rhinestone is backed with a special glue and can be set using a regular household iron or a special tool such as The Kandi Kane, which picks up the stone, heats it, and melts the glue, allowing you to quickly and easily apply the stone to any surface. No other glue is needed.
Sew-On rhinestones come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from Margaritas and Lochrosens to pear-shaped or teardrop, and many more. Sew-on rhinestones are offered with one, two or three holes, depending on the stone. Lochrosens and Margaritas have one center hole. These rhinestones can also be glued to fabric using one of the several special purpose adhesives. However, glue doesn't work well with larger stones on fabric, therefore we recommend that larger stones be sewn in place.
