When it comes to adding a special sparkle to something, flat backs are a very popular selling product from our SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Collection. They are available in a variety of colors, shapes and cuts.
With 12 distinct facets the Xilion Flat backs are the most brilliant flat back rhinestones on the market right now and Merchants Overseas always carries a large stock. A new and growing trend we are seeing is an interest in the very large sizes like the ss40s. As the #1 US distributor of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, we have the opportunity to offer our customers this hard-to-find size in the most beautiful and popular colors
When it comes to SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Flat backs, there are 2 important options to consider. Hot fix or No Hot fix? That is the question! And this decision depends on what exactly you are crystallizing.
Flat Backs No Hotfix are loose crystal elements with a flat reverse side. Flat Backs NoHF are easy to apply to a variety of carrier materials using standard one-or two component glues.
Flat Backs Hotfix (HF) are loose crystal elements with a flat reverse side that has been pre-coated with a heat sensitive glue. Flat Backs HF can be easily applied by heat to a range of textile carrier materials and produce a durable and long lasting crystal effect.
This new CYS instruction guide utilizes some very unique shapes and colors. Even though it is a piece of jewelry, this bracelet is actually creatively made with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Sew-on Stones and Fancy Stones.
Made With:
3240 Square Sew-on Stone – 16 mm in Crystal Volcano
4437 – 14 mm in Crystal Bermuda Blue
3250 Rectangle Sew-on Stone- 18×13 mm in Crystal Tabac
3257 Divine Rock Sew-on Stone – 19×13 mm in Montana
3257 Divine Rock Sew-on Stone- 19×13 mm in Topaz
3270 Triangle Sew-on Stone – 22 mm in Crystal Tabac
