If you are brainstorming ways to get into the cheer, dance or spirit wear market you are going to want to watch this full video. We are going through what you need to start a bling business.
First let's discuss the different kinds of bling. Our two go-to bling options are Spangles and Rhinestones.

Next you will need the bling itself! Spangles come in tape cartridges or reels and rhinestones will come by the pack.
You will also need a couple accessories for a bling business.
1 - Transfer Sheets: these are sheets that have a slight tackiness to them. The bling transfer machines lay down spangles or rhinestones on top of them, upside down.
2 - Oil: you always want to make sure your machine is well oiled, so we recommend having an oiler to make things run smoothly.
3 - Glue Dots: Glue Dots are really great for when you have a spangle machine. They allow you to easily save and store your spangle reels. But if you have the Spangle Elite you will need glue dots for when you change colors.
4 - Tweezers: Occasionally and bling transfer machine will set down a spangle or a rhinestone with the wrong side up. Having a pair of tweezers on hand will help you flip them back over.
Next thing you need for a bling business are blanks! You can find a variety of blank apparel and accessories here
We carry popular brands like Bella+Canvas, District, Port Authority and more. Plus we make it so anyone can get wholesale pricing.
You also need a heat press for a bling business. Like we mentioned earlier, spangles and rhinestone and even glitter vinyl are all heat applied materials.
The Galaxy 15x15 press is super affordable and perfect for a bling business.
Last thing you need are special files types that your bling machine can read. These are digitized files that are similar to embroidery. These files tell your bling machine when to change colors, when to change punch sizes and where to lay down each piece of bling.
