Series Summary

Sewing rhinestones or plastic gem stones to clothing is an ancient craft that still has remarkable relevance in today's modern world. Industrial sewing is usually done with the use of machines, but for seamstresses, alteration givers, and most casual sewers, an old fashioned needle and thread is still incredibly useful and more often than not the desired method for attaching rhinestones to shirts and blouses. Embellishing all sorts of clothes requires not only a needle and thread, but also other tools and materials that you can find easily at arts and crafts stores.

In this free video series, expert accessorizer Robin, from www.trees-mom.com, helps you decorate T-shirts and sweatshirts with rhinestones (plastic or acrylic jewels and gem stones).
