What You’ll Need

If you’re looking to remove rhinestones from clothes, there are a few things you’ll need. First, you’ll need a pair of pliers.

Second, you’ll need a flat head screwdriver. And finally, you’ll need a soft cloth.

Now, let’s get started. First, take your pliers and grip the rhinestone firmly.

You don’t want to grip it too hard, or you’ll risk breaking the stone. Next, take your screwdriver and place it under the rhinestone.

Gently pry up on the screwdriver until the rhinestone pops off. Finally, take your cloth and wipe away any adhesive that is left behind.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully removed a rhinestone from your clothing.

Preparing the Rhinestones

If you’re anything like me, you love to bling out your clothes with rhinestones! But sometimes, those rhinestones can come off, leaving your clothes looking less than stellar.

So how do you remove rhinestones from clothes without damaging them?

The first step is to identify what type of adhesive was used to attach the rhinestones to your clothing. If you’re not sure, take a close look at the back of the rhinestones.

If they appear to be glued on, then you’ll need to use a solvent to remove them. There are a few solvents that you can use, but I prefer to use rubbing alcohol.

It’s readily available and it’s not as harsh as some of the other options. To remove the rhinestones, soak a cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol and then apply it to the back of the rhinestone.

You may need to let it sit for a minute or two to loosen the glue. Once the glue is loosened, you should be able to gently remove the rhinestone with your fingers.

If the rhinestone is being stubborn, you can use a toothpick or a safety pin to help pry it off. Once the rhinestone is removed, you’ll need to clean the area where it was attached.

I like to use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove any residual glue. That’s it!

You’ve now successfully removed a rhinestone from your clothing.

Wasn’t that easy?

Applying the Heat

Have you ever had a piece of clothing that you absolutely loved, but it was covered in rhinestones?

Or maybe you bought a shirt second-hand that was adorned with rhinestones, but you’re not really a “sparkly” person. If you’re looking to remove rhinestones from clothes, there is a relatively simple process that you can follow.

With a little bit of heat and patience, you can remove rhinestones from clothes and have a blank slate to work with. You can then decide if you want to add your own embellishments, or simply enjoy the clean look of the fabric.

Keep reading to learn How to remove rhinestones from clothes with ease.

You will need:

• A clothes iron
• A thin towel or piece of cloth.
• A hard, flat surface
• A sharp object (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by Heating Up Your Iron to a Medium Setting.

You don’t want the iron to be too hot, as this can damage the fabric.

1. Place the thin towel or piece of cloth over the area of the clothing that is covered in rhinestones.
2. Place the iron on top of the towel, and press down firmly.

You should hold the iron in place for 10-15 seconds.

4. Remove the Iron and Towel, and Check to See If the Rhinestones Have Loosened.

If they have, you can gently peel them off with your fingers. If they are still firmly in place, repeat steps 2-4.

5. Once all of the rhinestones have been removed, you can optionally use a sharp object to carefully remove any residual glue.

And that’s it! With a little bit of heat and patience, you can easily remove rhinestones from clothes.

Peeling Off the Glue

But sometimes, those pesky little stones just won’t stay put!

And when they fall off, they leave behind a nasty glue residue.

So how do you get rid of that sticky stuff without ruining your clothes?

Here are a few tips:

First, try to remove as much of the glue as possible with your fingers. If that doesn’t work, scrape it off with a blunt knife or a credit card.

Next, wet a cotton ball or a soft cloth with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol, and gently dab it on the glue. If that doesn’t work, you can try using a commercial adhesive remover, which you can find at most hardware stores.

Finally, if all else fails, you can always take your clothes to a dry cleaner. They should be able to get the glue out without damaging the fabric.

With a little patience and elbow grease, you can remove those pesky glue stains and get your clothes looking like new again.

Preventing Future Damage

Here are a few tips to help you keep your clothes looking great and avoid damage from rhinestones:

1. Be careful when putting on and taking off clothes that have rhinestones.
2. Avoid wearing your clothes in situations where they might get snagged or caught on something.
3. When washing clothes with rhinestones, be sure to use a gentle cycle and avoid using harsh detergents.
4. If a rhinestone does come off, try to put it back on as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
5. If you’re not sure how to care for a particular garment, consult the care label or ask a professional.

Conclusion

If the above method does not work, you can try using a hairdryer. Set the hairdryer to the lowest setting and hold it about six inches away from the rhinestones.

Heat them for about 30 seconds and then gently peel them off. If you still have trouble removing the rhinestones, you can try using nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

Dab a cotton ball in either one of these liquids and hold it against the rhinestone for a few minutes before trying to remove it again.
