A Guide To Making 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 the best thing about this is that it is actually quite inexpensive and also very easy to make this kind of thing at the comfort of home. The first thing that one would be needing to do would be to gather a few materials that would be needed. Of course the most important things that one will need would be some rhinestones, some sliders, and some super glue.

Now before one would start with the process, one should first make sure that the slider is cleaned so that it looks nice to begin with. He may use any acidic substance like vinegar or any other type. Once the slider is clean, then one may continue with the process.

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.

Now the next step here would be to get some of that super glue and smear just the right amount on to the surface of the slider. From there, take some tweezers and pluck the rhinestones one by one. After that, one should place the rhinestones on to the slider until the entire thing is already filled up the way he wants it to be or the way he designed it to be.

If one would want, he could actually apply some shiny paint on the empty parts of the slider in order for it to look nicer. However, if he would decide to do this, then he has to make sure that he does not apply too much as it will not look nice. When that is done, he should add some spray seal to keep the paint there and let it dry.

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 as one can see, it is actually very simple to make some rhinestone sliders that can be attached to ribbons used for invites. By attaching some of these things on to ribbons, one will be able to create nicer invites. This will definitely make the invite more beautiful to the guests.
