The Thrifty Home - How to use a Hotfix Gun / Applicator

This is just my second posting on how to give your home a facelift without breaking the bank but hopefully you will find it very useful.

One of my favourite ‘tools’ is a hot fix applicator/gun which you can buy for less than £20 and get a lot of use from!

Used to apply crystals my favourite - OBVIOUSLY - are SWAROVSKI but you can get a lot more for your money by buying Rhinestones the only difference is they are not quite so sparkly!

So what can you apply them to? - Anything!

Lampshades, cushions, table and bed runners. I currently sell in my retail shop wallpapers and fabrics embellished with crystals, unaffordable for many so why not apply your own? And don’t forget - unless you’re a magpie ‘less is more’ !

If you run out of household items to embellish you can always move to your wardrobe and apply to scarves, bags, belts and shoes.

Just let your imagination run riot and Click here for crystals.
