The AB next to the rhinestone color stands for Aurora Borealis, named after the lovely  Northern Lights. Its beautiful array of ever-changing blues, greens, reds, and violets create a dazzling display on the horizon. The same shimmering rainbows of color can also be seen on stones with the AB coating. Its  appearance will change subtly depending on the surface  it sits on and the angle from which you see it.

Hotfix Rhinestones - are ideally used for garments. They have a glue disk on the back of the rhinestone that when heat is applied the glue melts into the fibers of garments. We suggest applying your rhinestones at 325 for 15 seconds, cool peel and press again for 5-10 seconds.  The 2nd press sets the stones and helps remove any lifting that may happen when removing the sticky transfer tape. This will ensure your Be Createful rhinestones will adhere to your product for years to come. 

Flatback Rhinestones - are used for handplacing projects like tumblers, costumers, shoes and other items. Flatback rhinestones require an adhesive, like SuperTite, Liquid Fusion, or GemTec be applied so the stones will adhere to your finished product. Quality flatback rhinestones have a thin silver backing with the exception of transparent stones.  Transparent stones do not have a backing so the color below the stone can be seen.

Notes and Disclaimers

*All stones are packaged by weight therefore the actual stone count can vary per bag. 

**AB and Metallic products have coatings applied over the product to achieve their unique color. Products with these coatings can show wear or chip over time with handing or use. 

***Rhinestones are created from color lots. Color lots are also used for products like material, yarn, tile, paint, and many other items. Slight differences in time, temperature, humidity, and other factors can result in different shades of the same color. We work closely with our manufacturer to keep our colors consistent, but there can be slight color differences as each batch of the same color is made.

****We do our best to provide images that represent the most accurate product colors. Due to screen variations for computer monitors, phones, and tablets, colors may appear different depending on the device you view the images on.  

****Our low-lead stones have been tested by the manufacturer and are found to meet federal requirements of containing less than 100ppm lead count. The PPM is based solely on the manufacturer’s testing and official test results can be provided per request. Be Createful has not tested the rhinestones. 

*****Small items such as rhinestones and pearls are a choking hazard to children and pets. Do not allow children or pets to play with rhinestones. Additionally, new “Lead Laws’ advise rhinestones may be unsafe for children 12 and under and should not be used to decorate garments.
