2. Glue to attach fringe

Add glue parallel to the seam, only a few inches at a time, across the back of the jacket and press on your rhinestone fringe pieces.


Work in sections so that the glue doesn’t dry before you place the bling.

Tip: jump ahead to place the fringe slightly out of order. This way you can better plan out the spacing.

3. Add a glitter word (optional)

Use a Cricut machine to cut out the letters of the word you want on the back, from glitter heat transfer vinyl.


If you don’t have the machine, you can use a marker to write out the letters and cut them by hand.

Adding glitter word

Place the letters on the back of the jacket and press them.


If you don’t have a heat press machine, you can use an iron on a high setting without steam.

Adding glitter word

Remove the clear film.

Add some small, glitter details in the front too if you’d like.
