Mustache Craft
I mustache you a question, would you like a chance to win a Silhouette CAMEO today?
bahaha! Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
mustaches still make me giggle whenever I see them. {yeah, i know. real mature.} and this rhinestone mustache pretty much makes my day.
I used my Silhouette CAMEO to create a rhinestone template. The Rhinestone Starter kit comes with everything you need to add some bling to your crafts!

How to Use a CAMEO to create Rhinestone Template
- Cut out your rhinestone design {with the green side facing up} using your Silhouette. *NOTE: do not resize the rhinestone design in Silhouette Studio.
- Remove the rhinestone template material off leaving the small circle cutouts behind. To do this, peel one corner back and rip it off as fast as you can. Trust me. It works. BUT if you’re like me and think, oh I don’t need to rip it off that fast, you’ll end up picking out the small circles with your finger nail or hook tool. So learn from my mistake and just rip it off fast! Then apply the template to the rhinestone backer board. {the thick white board}
- Brush the rhinestones into the holes with the brush that is included with the starter kit. But I won’t lie, I licked the tip of my finger and used it as well! hehe You want the rhinestones to be right side up in the template.
- After all the rhinestones are in place in your design, cover your design with a piece of rhinestone transfer tape. Peel off the transfer tape and it will bring all the rhinestones with it. Then position the rhinestone design where you want it.
- Put a piece of fabric or pressing cloth {i used a scrap piece of muslin} over your design and press down for 45-60 seconds. Manual says to use wool setting, I used a medium heat. Pull back transfer tape and if rhinestone pull over, iron for longer. Then turn the garment over and press the other side for 45-60 seconds to pull the rhinestone adhesive into the fabric.
I put my rhinestone mustache on natural colored linen that had a bit of a rugged texture. Very fitting for a rhinestone mustache, huh? ha! I layered a piece of batting between 2 layers of the linen inside the embroidery hoop. The batting gives it a little more shape.
Back to the question I was shaving {hehe} for later, who wants to win a Silhouette CAMEO + Rhinestone Starter Kit??

I want to learn how to do it ALL!! Everytime I see someone post something about what they made with one I say “Ooooooh! I want to make that!”
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Great tutorial
Tip: you can use the rhinestone template with the children, instead of rhinestones use the template with Perla Pen ( scrapbook/ card making department) or acrylic puff paint ( they have for textile as well) , that way the children can do all by themselves and no need of ironing
For perfect round shapes and no tip points, tap a few times from underneath your project
And for baby cloths I believe the paint would be much better
Thanks, Sandra! I’m so glad you stopped by!
happy crafting,
Linda
