How To Make Rhinestone Sliders

By Georgia Diaz


Everyone has probably received pretty invites where in the card designs are so beautiful and there would be a ribbon tied to the front with a small little buckle attached to a ribbon. Now these small buckles are known as rhinestone sliders and they are used to make these ribbons look prettier. So for those who would want to make their invites or cards look classier, here are some steps on how to make some of these things.

Now it is very easy to make this thing and at the same time it is also very cheap because the materials are also cheap. As for the materials, one would only need three primary things that will help him get started. Basically, these things are rhinestones, sliders, and super glue.

In order to start, the very first thing to do would be to simply clean the slider a little bit so that it will be a little bit shiny. Use some substances like alcohol or maybe even vinegar to make it a little bit shiny. Once that is done, take a small bottle of super glue and be very careful.

Now the first thing to do would be to get the bottle of super glue. The thing about super glue is that it actually is very dangerous to the skin which means that one has to be extremely careful when he is handling this type of substance. In order to be safer, it is advised that one would wear some rubber gloves while he is doing this.

One must first put some super glue on to the sliders and then take some of the rhinestones with a pair of tweezers. It is in this stage that one will actually be able to produce more creative juices and let his imagination run wild. He may decide to put a lot of rhinestones as he wants or maybe even just a little bit.

If one would want to be even more creative, then he may actually put a bit of light paint on the slider. Now he should never put too much paint on the slider because it will not look so nice if too much of it is applied on the slider. From there, one should now spray some sealant on the sliders so that the paint will be able to dry quickly and stick there.

Once that is already done, then one can now put the small buckle on to a piece of ribbon. Now the best colors that would go with rhinestone would actually be a light shade of pink or dark green. If one would want, he may also use colors such as gold or white because these are the more classier but yet more subtle colors.

Now if one would want to invite guests to his formal party or event, then try making an invite that has a ribbon with a slider on it. Rhinestone sliders will definitely make the invite look more classy. Because of this, guests will definitely be excited to see what kind of event or party will transpire simply because of the beautiful invite.
