Put Bling on It

Use Your Laser to Create Templates for Rhinestone Placement

By GCC

Did you know that you can use your laser to add bling to apparel, recognition products, and more? Your laser can turn cardstock into a stencil to help you position rhinestones. Pick up the stones with transfer tape, and you’re ready to press!

The GCC LaserPro Application Lab makes it easy—go to www.gccworld.com/showcase.php?act=view&no=86 for details and a video of the process using jeans.

Step 1: Place cardstock on the working table for cutting. The cardstock cannot be thicker than the depth of the rhinestones that will be used. Send the engraving file to the machine, and press the start button to begin cutting. Take the completed stencil from the machine.

Step 2: Pour rhinestones over the stencil and use a soft brush or whiteboard eraser to position them in the stencil holes.

Step 3: Use transfer paper to stick the rhinestones.

Step 4: Stick the transferred rhinestones onto a desired substrate that can withstand heat.

Step 5: Use a heat press or iron to properly affix the rhinestones to the substrate.

Step 6: Remove the transfer paper.

GCC manufactures equipment for the visual communication industry, including laser engravers, cutters, and markers; printer/ cutters; vinyl cutters; UV-LED printers; and apparel plotters. Learn more at www.GCCworld.com.
