Rhinestones
Cost and plan rhinestone products
Build a rhinestone cost to make with stone counts, template area, blanks, labor, machine time, and margin, then plan a job and confirm a build.

Purpose
Turn your stocked rhinestone materials into a true per-item cost and a planned production job you can confirm once the physical build is done.
Before you begin
Complete Set up rhinestone materials first so your stone sizes/colors, flock template, transfer tape, and garment blanks exist in the shared inventory.
- 1
Optional: open the Calculators tab and use Rhinestone Design Pricing with the stone counts from your design software for a quick price. Stone Size Helper, Team & Bulk Quote, Price Sheet, Capacity Planner, and Craft Fair Booth Planner are there too.
- 2
Open Rhinestone Studio → Products & Pricing and price a new product using the Hotfix Rhinestone method.
- 3
Add a supply line for each stone size/color in the design and enter the quantity per item as the stone count for one garment.
- 4
Add dimensional material lines for the flock template and the transfer/carrier tape; set the design geometry (width × height) so area cost is calculated, or enter the area quantity directly.
- 5
Add a blank line for the garment, plus labor and machine time lines for pressing/cutting, and design/license/setup as a design-license line.
- 6
Set waste on stone, template, and tape lines to capture losses during weeding and placement. Review cost per item, suggested price, and margin.
- 7
Save the cost to make; it appears under Products & Pricing. Open Orders to Make → Plan an order to plan from the saved cost to make with a single-garment or multitransfer quantity and the non-deducting stages (Design & count, Cut template, Prepare & place stones, Apply transfer, Press / finish, Quality check).
- 8
When the physical build is complete, choose Mark as made — this deducts the exact stones, template, tape, and blank exactly once via the shared server action. Drafts, plans, and queues never touch stock.
What happens next
Your rhinestone build is completed, costed, and recorded. For multiple transfers per garment, add one template and one tape line per transfer in the cost to make.
