Are you ready for some bling!?!

Certain times of the year lots of vendors who sell apparel products have a 3 day workshop for people in the industry. Well, I went to this show thinking I was going to find a shirt, hat, bag supplier and I came home with more than I bargained for!!! I saw an exhibit where they were doing the rhinestone shirts, and they made it look so easy! Well, I have checked into this area before and the cost was just unbelievable. A company has come out with an affordable system that can create any kind of custom bling-bling product. So, of course, I bought it! I am a bit of an impulsive shopper, and this gave me quite the adrenaline rush!

Now I am home with all of this new equipment, and have done a few (and I really mean a few) things already. I am learning how to do more with the software everytime I play with it which is exciting! I can do bling, vinyl iron-on, car decals, you name it! I am attaching a few pics for your viewing pleasure. Maybe this will spark an idea for you of something you would like to see on a hat, shirt, bag, etc...


This shirt I did for a friend who wanted embroidery and rhinestones. Cute!!



These two designs I bought already made and then heat pressed them onto the black shirts. Aren't these cure holiday shirts??? (Sorry my picture taking skills aren't very good. I don't know how to get the lighting just right!)




These are some shirts I did for my friends kids. Everyone loves to have their name on something, and how neat if it is in shiny bling, huh?

More to come...
