Where To Find Free SVGS For Rhinestone Templates
When someone first asked me for free svgs for rhinestone templates, I thought they were using tweezers and applying each rhinestone individually in the design. I couldn't imagine doing that myself, so I posted some links for the person in the fb group, but I didn't consider trying them myself.
And then I saw that you just dump the rhinestones onto the template, and they settle in, then you iron them on. Well, that's not too bad. But it required sticky flock, a board, heat fix transfer tape (the used transfer material from my htv projects would probably work...) and I just didn't want to invest in a bunch of materials for a project that is purely a novelty for me - not something I was likely to use often.
THEN I came across an instructables tutorial. All you need to buy is the rhinestones! It may not be practical for more complex designs, but just to try it out - all you need is an old cereal box, and some paper (I'd use parchment paper, but they literally just used paper.) Cut the template from the cereal box, place it on the fabric, dump the rhinestones on, brush the extras off, make sure the stones in the template are all right side up (so you may need tweezers after all, but just for a few stones, not all of them!) place the paper over the top, and press! That's it! That's a little more my speed. I still have not tried it - I need to order rhinestones, but below is a list of free svgs, if you want to try too - or if you already know what you are doing and just want more free designs. :-)

Cut your template out of the cereal box, place the template on your fabric, shake the rhinestones over the top, remove the extras. Cover with paper and iron.

POSSIBLE FONTS
Not tested. But theoretically, any dotted font should work? Rhinestone fonts are very expensive! These dotted fonts are free - but making sure the cuts are the right size for the stones you are using may be challenging. It will take a little more research for me to know for sure how these work.
