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.
