Welcome to Meghan Grace DIY! I have been sewing since I was 8 years old and have done lots of great things in the sewing world from making figure skating costumes to teaching high school fashion to freelance costume design to college fashion professor. In this video I am covering the basics of rhinestones or otherwise knows as flat back crystals. I explain the materials, the brands, the sizing and most importantly the cost. Swarovski is the best quality out there but also comes at the highest price. There are ways to find stones online that will be great for your project and you will pay 1 tenth of the price! Before we get started I think it is important to note that there are many different styles and techniques in the sewing world, so take with you what works and leave behind what doesn’t! Last Important Disclaimer - Amazon and other vendors change their prices often as you can see in the video when I purchased the Jollin stones they were 11.99 and the day I filmed they were 9.99. So the prices I quote were as of when I filmed which was May 14th, 2020 and may change by the time you view this video!
