Over the past couple of years I have fell in love with adding some
tiny rhinestones onto even the simpliest of t-shirts.

No matter how cheap the shirt - a little bling here and there
really brightens it up and makes it much more personalized.

Here are a few pics of a couple of shirts I added stones to for Haylee.
She is always so excited to see them when they are done.
It's so hard to get a good close up but here goes.
I used a plain, simple t-shirt

After adding stones:
In person, it makes such a huge adorable difference to spend just a few
minutes on adding these stones to just about anything.
These are the little iron on rhinestones I purchased at
Walmart craft section.
Directions that I used for this are:
* Piece of a box cut to size to fit inside of tshirt
* Rhinestones
* Lightweight scrap of fabric
* Tweezers
* Iron
I have a piece of a box that I have cut for placement inside
of the shirt between the front and back of the shirt.
Since the stones are so small, I use tweezers to place in just
a few key places, trying here and there until I think they
are just right. Not to few - not too many.
Then cover with a lightweight piece of scrap material and press
with a hot iron (I turn off the steam feature)
Slowly remove cover cloth and let cool.
After the item has a bit of time to cool off, I turn the item inside out
and pull over the end of the ironing board and press the back side of the stones.

Just a bit extra to make sure they have adheared enough.
I usually wait a couple of days before laundering the item.
So far I have had very few ever come off and some have been
worn, washed and dried many times.
Here is another simple shirt I got at Walmart that I
added a bit of bling to.
I love this color of green.
** Caution: it's addicting! lol!
Have fun adding more bling to your world too.
Don't know if you could ever truly have "too much" bling. :)
Cute!! A razorback shirt would look cute all girlied up! Gave me ideas for my niece. Thanks!
