Default Using Rhinestones in Designs

Hi

Does anyone here use rhinestones in their designs? If so what would the recommend for the best way to to put them on? I will be using them for baby and toddler t's so I am a little concerned about them coming off in small mouths. Any recommendations here?

I use a soldering iron for 1 or 2, just need to touch the top for a few seconds. If it's a big design use a carrier film and a heat press.

I would NOT use on toddler t's, it only takes one to come off and be swallowed. I would imagine the child would be attracted to the stone and try to take it off. They will come off if pulled hard enough and there is also the risk of scratching the babys face etc.

It's just not worth the risk and i would not like to be responsible for causing an injury to a child. Not to mention being sued!

Find something else shiny.
