Put the template into a box to contain your rhinestones….and pour your rhinestones on top: Stick the template material to the backing board that comes in the rhinestone starter kit: The holes stick better to the revers side! Once the image was ready, send it to the Silhouette machine to cut the holes into the rhinestone template material:Ī VERY HELPFUL NOTE: if the holes don’t come out when you pull the template material off, turn over the backing you just peeled it off from and stick the template material to it. Note: MAKE sure not to resize any holes! The holes are specific to the size rhinestones you are using! I deleted the number “5” and deleted any other holes that looked out of place……and the image was ready to cut! I found a font I liked for the number “5” and sized it over the rhinestone circle block….and started deleting the holes that fell outside of my image.Ĥ.

I copied and pasted that line several times, then copied and pasted the new larger lines several times……until I ended up with a large square of rhinestone circles.ģ. I started out with the letter “T” that used the size rhinestone hole I needed and deleted everything but a straight line of rhinestone circles.Ģ. You can use any font or image to make a template using this method as long as it’s not TOO detailed.ġ. It also comes with some simple template downloads….BUT, I’m picky and I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for in the store….and wanted to make my own template.īelow is an animation on how I made my own template for the Silhouette to cut.

I used the Silhouette Rhinestone Starter Kit……it comes with everything you need but I’d order extra rhinestones….I just barely made it with the packs included. So….I’ve been meaning to try out the Silhouette for rhinestones….and I finally got around to it. Note: This is a sponsored post by Silhouette America.
