Pressing rhinestone transfer on a mug

You could try it in a mug press, but I wonder if the adhesive of the stones would stick to the mug?
Or you could hand set (glue) non- heat set stones to the mug.
OR....what if you applied a rhinestone decal to a mug? It would probably need to be gently hand washed, but it might work?

Let us know if you try it!

Interesting q. I will also give this a try and post the results.

That is a neat idea

I was thinking that something like a hall mirror could be blinged up with the rhinestone decals. It wouldn't get as much washing as a car windshield.

@irish: I have a booth in the local flower shop with some of my shirts. I am just getting into the decals and planned on using a frame with glass and a solid black mat behind the glass to display the samples. Mirrors crossed my mind too. I think it's a great idea!

neat idea. That would look cool. A hot cup of coffee can't get up to 350F to loosen the adhesive.

I would think the decals would work great because you would not have to heat press it to the mug, once you have made the decal. I believe the material that is being used for the decals is xpel paint protection film. If you search for it, you will find a thread all about and how it is done Hope this helps.

Since these aren't meant to be truely permanent, how about specialty things like wine glasses for a bride and groom with their names? Or fun gifts for the office party?

Gosh, I think I'm getting carried away with rhinetones :LOL

I posted this a while back, used Das decal material,

Sandy Jo, that is so cool .

We sell western stuff and I was thinking about doing some type of western design in the corners of the mirror.

Looking at your picture made me think of the things people put on sliding glass doors so they can see them. Rhinestones would be good there too - maybe up high enough to not get hand prints.

Irish,,

That looks really good. I will have to do more testing of my own.
Thanks for posting.

Sandy Jo, I LOVE that design. I am only a small % Irish, (actually German, English, Irish and who knows ), but I feel at home with Irish stuff.

Jane, I love the mug. Doesn't look crooked to me.

I agree! I think it looks great! Let us know how it works with washing.

You can also use XPEL Paint Protection Film.
(like the kind that you said you get from local auto shops?)

Maybe someone can post a picture of the XPEL stuck to a coffee mug.
(a rhinestone gummie! on a mug)
