Step Two: Space, Place, and Smooth Rhinestones Once you have the size and effects of the rhinestones situated, it’s time to play with the spacing. 039 inches. I would recommend not going lower than. To change the spacing between the rhinestones on your artboard: 019 inches as you will need some space in between each rhinestone.
(1) Drag the slider bar to the right to increase the spacing. (2) Drag the slider bar to the left to decrease the spacing. Or to increase/decrease the spacing, you can manually type in the number. Now is also a good time to size your design. Simply select a corner and drag to re-size your design. Notice how the layout of the rhinestones changes according to the size of your design. To change the position of individual rhinestones: Keep in mind the final size you want the design to be for your project. And if you are not completely happy with the position of your rhinestones, you can easily re-position single rhinestones to where you want. (2) Right click on the design (CTRL + click on a Mac®). (4) In the Rhinestone tool panel, select “Release Rhinestones.” (3) Select “Ungroup” from the drop down menu. Now you can select individual rhinestones and move to desired position. Remember to leave a space in between each rhinestone, otherwise your template won’t work. You can also smooth out design by adding extra rhinestones: (2) Place new rhinestones where you want.
Once the design looks the way you want, select the whole design and group it back together. You do this similarly to how you separated the rhinestones-just reverse the order. (2) Click “group” from the dropdown menu. This is where you will need your Rhinestone Template Material. I like to use as little material as possible so I have extra for other projects. Be sure to give yourself a cushion by cutting your template material a little bigger than your design. (1) Place the rhinestone template material on your cutting mat. Make sure that the cut screen and actual mat and material line up the same direction. To prepare and adhere rhinestones to your project (in my case, a personalized journal): (3) Open the Silhouette cut window and select rhinestone material. (1) Pull cut template material from backing. NOTE: The template material is very sticky on the back so weed any circles that may be stuck as you go.
