Rhinestone Work

Over the last five years working at John Kristiansen New York, I had the opportunity to design and replicate rhinestone patterns for Broadway, National Tours, award shows, concert tours and more.  Working mostly in hot fix application, by hand and by heat press, I love creating patterns that catch the eye and flow along the costume piece, with my specialty being an ombré from either a garment line or out from a central point like a starburst.  I also have experience hand applying flatback rhinestones to shoes and other non-textile objects, as well as using a kick press to apply rhinestones with pronged metal rims.
