When we speak about home decor jewelry, we are talking about dressing your house with touches of sparkle and shine. What better way to greet your dinner guests? Decorating your dinner table for holiday times can be simple, fun and very creative. Your attendees will feel special and enjoy the lavish environment that you have created for them. And, what is the secret to your success? Why crystal flat backs are the answer for decorating everything holiday in jewelry!
Knowing the difference in using the two different types of crystal flat backs is important. Crystal flat backs withHotfix are applied to fabric surfaces only, using a Hotfix tool or an iron. Each of these flat backs has heat sensitive glue that melts and bonds with the fabric surface. They are prefect to use on table runners, place mats and napkins. You could even create monogram napkins to note where guests sit.
Crystal flat backs without Hotfix can be applied to many different types of surfaces, provided you use the appropriate adhesive for the surface you are working with. Apply the glue to surface you are adhering the crystal to, then place the flat back crystal on top of the glue. Tweezers and calm patience come in real handy here…
A small inexpensive 2 x 3” frame can be used as a place card holder and double as a favor for your guests to take home too. Depending on the occasion you are hosting, select a decorative motif that is appropriate, such as flowers for a summer party. Think of the colors and shapes of the crystals you will want to use. Design a simple flower detail with the crystal flat backs and then glue them one by one onto the frames. Use the same or similar floral motif onto other items of the table settings, such as tea light holders, floral vases and other non-fabric surfaces. This is the perfect example of where you can incorporate the same floral motif and decorating your fabric table coverings as desired with Hotfix flat backs. The perfect addition for any home decor jewelry project.
