Some crafts are improved by a bit of sparkle, and some are improved by an alarming amount of it. This pack of decorative flower shaped rhinestones caters for both. There are 252 pieces in assorted colours and three sizes (6mm, 10mm and 12mm), so you can pick out a tiny accent or make a statement piece without having to buy a second pack. The mix of colours means there is usually something to suit whatever you are making, and the mix of sizes makes it easy to build up a design with a bit of variety rather than rows of identical stones.
The rhinestones have flat backs, which is what makes them so straightforward to use. A dab of craft glue and a gentle press is all it takes to fix them to card, paper, wood, cardboard and most other craft surfaces. They suit cardmaking, scrapbooking, decorating gift boxes, embellishing frames, customising costumes and props, and any project where a plain surface could do with a lift. Tweezers or a wax pick-up tool are handy for placing the smaller stones precisely, though fingers manage perfectly well.
With 252 pieces in the pack, it is good value for classroom, party and family craft sessions as well as for keen makers who get through embellishments faster than they would care to admit. Please note the stones are small parts and are not suitable for children under 3. Younger children should be supervised.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rhinestones are in the pack?
There are 252 pieces in each pack, in assorted colours and three sizes: 6mm, 10mm and 12mm.
What glue should I use?
A general-purpose craft glue works well for card and paper. For fabric, wood or heavier items, use a stronger adhesive suited to the surface. As with any embellishment, it is worth testing a stone on an offcut first to check the bond and make sure the glue dries clear.
What can I use them on?
The flat backs make them easy to stick to card, paper, cardboard, wood, frames, boxes and many other craft surfaces. They are popular for cardmaking, scrapbooking, gift decoration and costume or prop making.
Can I choose the colours?
The pack is a mixed assortment, so the colours are not selectable. The mix is designed to cover a broad range of projects, and any colours you do not need will find a use sooner or later.
Are they suitable for children?
They are fine for supervised craft sessions with older children, but the stones are small parts and not suitable for children under 3. Please keep them out of reach of very young children.
Do they come off easily once glued?
With a suitable glue and a clean, dry surface, they hold well. Give the adhesive time to set before handling the finished piece, and avoid bending flexible surfaces, as that can loosen the stones.
