Best Fabric Stud & Gem Setters of 2025

“My 15-year-old granddaughter loves retro decorating and specifically requested a 'Bedazzler' for Christmas. I found the original version, and she's having a blast bedazzling her wardrobe!”

“I think this is poorly designed and cheaply built. It feels like scammed TV garbage.”

“For $40, I expected something more substantial. Just not a quality item.”

"I love all the attachments that came with it! The price was right, and when I plugged it in, it got really hot, so I had to be careful. The Hotfix applicator comes with a stand, which is great. Following the video instructions was easy, and when I tried it on a piece of fabric, it bonded quickly! I'm a happy customer!"

"I find this product has everything needed to bling out shirts, jeans, hats, and shoes. It's super easy to use. My 3-year-old even blings her dresses with it, which shows how simple it is! Plus, the embellishments don't come off in the wash, which I absolutely love!"

"I think the idea behind this is very cool, and it works great. I'm planning to use it on a lot of projects. If anyone is looking for this type of product, they should definitely check this one out!"

"As a beginner, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Worthofbest Hotfix Rhinestone Setter Kit performed! It truly exceeded my expectations. The kit includes everything necessary, such as a dependable applicator wand, multiple tips, and a generous assortment of 5,000 rhinestones in AB Crystal and Clear. I found it easy to use and the results looked professional!"

"I'm usually quite skeptical about online purchases, but I must say, this product has impressed me thoroughly! It arrived in a minimalist black zippered pouch with detailed directions and helpful tips, including QR codes for additional resources. The rhinestones were perfectly organized in reusable containers, and I had no issues using them on my Moroccan pillows—they bonded perfectly!"

"I’ve been using hotfix for years, and this is my second purchase for a backup set. The price is fantastic, and the quality is top-notch. I always hold the iron on the crystals for 15 seconds to ensure they adhere well, and I rarely have any come loose. This brand is my go-to for adhering crystals!"

"I had never tried a bedazzler before, so I was nervous about adding rhinestones to my costume piece. Thankfully, this device made it SO MUCH EASIER than I expected! It came with everything needed, including design templates. I was able to create butterflies on my very first project and can't wait to try more!"

"After buying the Hotfix Rhinestone Applicator, I am absolutely thrilled with its performance! The ease of use is incredible and perfect for crafters at any skill level. It heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, ensuring rhinestones adhere well without any mess. I love that it can also be used for studs and other embellishments, offering endless creative possibilities!"

"I never realized I needed a rhinestone kit until I got this one. The heat presser made everything so easy—I felt like a bedazzling wizard zapping rhinestones onto everything. The process was super fast, and my sweatshirt was glam-ready in no time. If you want to add some sparkle to your life, this kit is a must!"

"I used this for the first time on a purse. It's fantastic! It works great and is very easy to use!"

"I received my hotfix on time, and it was packaged with care. The product is amazing! If you love to add some sparkle to your projects and life, I highly recommend this!"

"This kit has everything you need to make beautiful projects. I appreciate the glove provided, but the applicator does get hot."

“I was super impressed once I figured it out! I’ve put pearls everywhere. It was a bit of a trial and error, but I'm bedazzling!”

“This comes with the device and a plastic container filled with pearls and tiny metal pieces. I wasn't sure how it worked, but it does! You put the little metal piece at the bottom, hold the pearl at the top, and squeeze the handle with the fabric in between. It attaches the pearl to the fabric somehow! It’s not the easiest to use, but with practice, it can get the job done.”

“I love that I can attach pearls to fabric with this tool. It’s a bit tricky to get right, but I’m glad I can fix pearls that come off dresses or other fabrics. It’s definitely a specific tool, great for costumers or cosplayers. I would order this again!”

“I love this applicator! It was a great price for everything I received, and it made applying my rhinestones so much easier, especially for my snow globe tumblers.”

“This tool is incredibly easy to use. I added some sparkle to a rocker t-shirt and a few upcycled shirts, and it really adds a twinkle and pop to anything I want to embellish. It's super fun and comes with lots of assorted colored stones!”

“This Hotfix Applicator is fantastic for DIY bedazzling! I’m really excited to take on more projects with it.”

"I've used bedazzlers before, and this kit was perfect for my daughter's last-minute Halloween costume. Everything adhered well and was very easy to use. The value was great since I couldn't buy the tool and rhinestones separately for this price. Would buy again if needed."

"I really enjoyed using this new style of Bedazzler. Much better results than the old version. I personalized my daughter's game case with jewels that were easy to use. The applicator stays safe to handle, but I wouldn't let kids use it alone. The glue holds incredibly well; I tried to remove a stud, and it wouldn't budge! Overall, I love this tool. The tips are precise, and the jewels are very pretty."

"While shopping with my sisters for blouses with bling, we struck out. So, we decided to have a 'sister decorating session' at home. I used this kit, and it was much easier than my sisters' glue methods. They struggled with glue messes, while I found this kit perfect for both beginners and seasoned crafters. The only issue was the small print on the tip sizes; trial and error slowed me down a bit, but I'm excited for more projects."

“I had so much fun personalizing my masks! Each one took about an hour, but I discovered some tricks along the way. I learned to keep space between the stones and to use an old cookie sheet for better results.”

“I absolutely love this product! I bedazzled my bras and it was so easy. The packaging was neat, and I found the right attachment for different bead sizes without needing to switch tips.”

“I’ve added sparkle to a few Dolly Parton shirts and I’m thrilled with how they turned out! They’ve held up well even after washing. It does take some time, but that’s part of the crafting experience!”

"I absolutely love this stud machine! I used it to attach pearls to my blue jean jacket, shirt, and even some gym shoes. The only issue I encountered was that the claw could have been a little longer for better grip, especially on my gym shoes at certain angles."

"Using this pearl setting tool has been such a blast! I really appreciate how it adds beads with a flat back, avoiding any prongs that might bend or irritate the fabric. While it can be a bit tricky with all the tiny parts, the adhesion is fantastic and the price is just right for the tool and a ton of pearls!"

"I’ve been making bags for years and had no idea there was a pearl press set. It's a neat concept! However, I found the hand press to be somewhat clunky and the handle hard to squeeze. Despite that, it functions well enough, but I prefer my rivet and snap presses."
