The Difference Between Transparent and Transparent AB Rhinestones

[@creolepie]

I have to admit I was a little confused before I came across your post, thank you for taking your time to explain everything clearly

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

[@MAHWL]

Thank you for sharing the difference and showing it on Minnie and the GT !! I can definitely see the difference and like the regular transparent on Minnie and the ab on the GT with the transparent border!!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching!

[@TYJ419]

Really cute project! For that design, I like the "translucent" because it doesn't drown out the image. Doing a smaller test image is going to be my "must-do". Thanks for sharing this! Tracey

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Hi Tracey! Yes, that's exactly what I thought. The translucent really added a cute shine and texture, but you could see the design really well! I agree, the test area is a must-do and will probably save us a lot of money in the long run:)

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Thank you, Marilyn. I think I’ll get some transparent AB rhinestones also. I have the regular ones already, and I love them. I don’t sew, but I might try making some of the iron on patches. Yours look fantastic! Again, thank you!

Thank you Marilyn! This I is the perfect demonstration of crushed ice! Great job! PS your great niece might 😍 AB on he pink bag. Definitely custom! Can’t wait to see what you do next 👀

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks Allaina! I have 2 more of Minnie's faces printed out, so making the pink bag for her is a great idea! I have 2 great nieces so they could even have matching bags:)

Beautiful. Thank you 😊

Thanks Kim!

Love the comparison. I love ❤️ the transparent one.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Glad you liked it! Yes, I really love how the transparent one came out!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@TheShugluv7777]

Mar thank you for all the testing you do. It helps us make choices. On this one I like the clear!😍

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

You're so welcome RUG'l!!! Thanks for watching.

[@deborahwhisbyferguson]

Beautiful!!! Another great video. I prefer the Clear hotfix rhinestones on multiple colors (like Minnie). Thank you for sharing...

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Yes, I think that's the general rule of thumb I will use. Thank you for watching!!!

[@marianneciovacco8565]

I can not wait, mine arrive this week!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Yay!!! What will you make first?

[@marianneciovacco8565]

I think I'm going to try a Tinkerbell design, following your instructions for adhering to an purse.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@marianneciovacco8565 that should be really, really cute! I love Tinkerbell too!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Yes, on this project, the transparent won out:) Thanks for watching!

[@mandyhall1674]

That is too cute. Love it.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you Mandy!!!

[@latenightcraftingwithstace3009]

I LIKE BOTH

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Both were pretty, but on Mini, I liked the transparent best. On the gold GT on the shirt, I loved the Transparent AB.

[@UNBIASEDLLC]

This is so beautiful Queen

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you Unbiased!!!

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

Great video! For sublimation I like the clearer but for putting rhinestones straight on a shirt I like the AB.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks so much for watching Kim! That's kinda my thought, but then the AB looked really good on the gold sublimation in my prior video, so for now, I guess I will keep testing:)

[@TheLogoZone]

BEAUTIFUL Mary. How do I separate a rhinestone design to cut when there are multiple colors. I use Coreldraw?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I've never used CorelDraw to know how to do it on that software. I have only done this is Silhouette. The beauty in the transparent rhinestones is that you don't have to separate by color. The stones show the color of the print below them so you just make your rhinestones cover the entire image.

[@jutetwine4482]

Is transparent rhinestone and crystal clear rhinestone the same thing?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I haven't heard of them called crystal clear rhinestones but it sure sounds like they might be.

[@melindagerrish4634]

Love the translucent.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you!

[@latenightcraftingwithstace3009]

I GOTTA PUT MY SHADES ON TO WATCH THIS VIDEO🕶🕶🕶🕶

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Yesss!

[@calitrishb]

I think both are beautiful, but I agree with you that the plain ice looks better with the level of detail that is in Minnie’s face.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Love both types of stones but I definitely preferred the plain ones on this project too. Thanks for watching!

[@artigaquinn8754]

Hey Marilyn do you have a video how to create rhinestone template from sublimation file?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I don't think so. Are you using a png file? If so, you would need to trace it first and then use the concepts that I have in my videos.

[@artigaquinn8754]

@@MakingwithMarilyn Got it. Thank you

[@sabrinaadams30]

Hi I’m sorry to bother you but can you please tell me were I buy these rhinestones from?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I buy my rhinestones from The Baby's Booty. She has a buy in each month. Her next one starts May 31st. Her site is thebabysbooty.store
