Rhinestone Studio
Stock hotfix stones by size and color with a per-stone cost, flock/template and transfer tape, and garment blanks using the shared inventory.
Before you start
- You add rhinestones, flock/template, transfer/carrier tape, and garments on the existing Supplies, Vinyl & Transfer, and Blanks pages. No new category of inventory is created — Rhinestone Studio reads the shared stock.
Set up rhinestone materials
Get every material behind a rhinestone design into your shared inventory with accurate costs so costs to make and jobs are priced correctly.
On the Supplies page, add each hotfix rhinestone size/color as its own supply with unit set to each. Enter the quantity as the total stones on hand and the unit cost as the per-stone cost (package cost ÷ stones per package).
Use the per-stone cost helper on Rhinestone Studio → Materials & Blanks to check package cost ÷ stones per count before you save the supply.
On the Vinyl & Transfer page, add flock/template sheets or rolls (material type Flock Template) with width and length so area-based usage is costed correctly.
Add transfer or carrier/masking tape on the same page (material type Transfer Tape) with width and length.
On the Blanks page, add your garment or base items (T-shirts, hoodies, hats, totes) with quantity on hand and cost per item.
Return to Rhinestone Studio → Materials & Blanks to confirm the filtered shared inventory appears for this workspace.
What happens next
Your rhinestone materials are stocked and costed. Build a cost to make next to estimate true cost per garment or multitransfer run.
Cost and plan rhinestone products
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.
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.
Open Rhinestone Studio → Products & Pricing and price a new product using the Hotfix Rhinestone method.
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.
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.
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.
Set waste on stone, template, and tape lines to capture losses during weeding and placement. Review cost per item, suggested price, and margin.
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).
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.
