Make Rhinestone Templates with TRW Design Wizard for Cricut/Cameo

TRW Design Wizard is required

Open your rhinestone design file on TRW Design Wizard, highlight the entire design, make sure the designs components are not GROUPED and select the "Template" tab in your Wizard and select "Current Page" and LEFT click on "TRW Magic Separator"

You get one yellow template box for each stone size and color.

1. To save Magic Flock, You can make the templates smaller.
2. Group or weld all dots on a template, then shift click to the template behind.
3. Then click "Back Minus Front" in the top Corel Toolbar.
4. Repeat for all the other templates.

1. After knocking out the rhinestone design through your template, click the "Add Length and Height" button in your Wizard. This puts the dimensions of that template on the screen.
2. Click "Weld" so the dimension text is not a typeable text.

s4

Delete the original design, then go to File -> Export -> .SVG
When you upload your .SVG to Design Space:

Note: "When trimming down your Magic Flock templates, use our Parchment paper trick to align the different colors/sizes of rhinestones on your Acrylic Hotfix Tape".

The Parchment Paper Trick below:

trick1

Step 1: Brush rhinestones on your first design.

trick 2

Step 2: Use Acrylic hot fix tape to transfer the rhinestones.

trick3

Step 3: Brush rhinestones on your second design.

trick4

Step 4: Use the transferred rhinestones in step 2, place parchment paper behind it and slide it over the second template.

trick5

Step 5: The parchment paper prevents the Acrylic hotfix tape from picking up your rhinestones until you are ready. Align the first design to the second design and press down on the edge of the tape, to make a hinge.

trick6

Step 6: Take out the parchment paper and lower the Acrylic hotfix tape from right to left. Run your hand over the design to pick up the second color.

trick7

Step 7: Now you have a 2-color design rhinestone transfer.

trick8

Step 8: Place the design back on the backing of hot fix tape for storing it if needed.
