Glitter HTV Vs Rhinestones

As mentioned above, Glitter HTV is a special vinyl film with a shimmery surface that does not flake off with time. It shines brilliantly adding glamor and sparkle to your designs making them eye-catching. It is equipped with a heat-activated adhesive that forms a strong bond with the fabric. It is available in the form of sheets and rolls.

Rhinestones are gems made from rock crystal, glass, or acrylic. These imitate diamonds and have an iridescent shimmer. These can be attached to fabric using glue. You can also get hotfix rhinestones that require heat to adhere to the fabric. Sew-on rhinestones are also available. Since these are stones, they add weight and a bit of stiffness to the part of the garment where they are applied.
