Rhinely Basic Tools Part 2: Lines, Text, Brushes, and Fill Styles

Basic Tools Part 2 moves deeper into the creative tools inside Rhinely. This lesson covers the tools used most often when turning an idea into rhinestone artwork: lines, shapes, text, individual stones, brush strokes, fill modes, colors, and stone counts.

1. Set up a clean canvas

The video starts by creating a new design and using a darker background so light rhinestones are easier to see. Product choices, zones, ordering, and fulfillment are mentioned, but the lesson stays focused on design tools.

2. Draw with the Line Tool

The Line tool creates custom lines. Click to start, click again to create the next point, and continue building the path. When the line is finished, right-click to complete it.

3. Use the Shape Library

The Shape tool opens the shape library. Use it for hearts, stars, icons, and simple forms that can become rhinestone artwork quickly.

4. Add text with Google Fonts

The Text tool lets you type a word, choose a Google Font, favorite that font, and place the result on the canvas. Text starts in a grid-style rhinestone format, then you can switch to smart, outline, flexible, hexa, or other fills.

5. Place, brush, paint, and erase stones

Manual Stone places one stone at a time. Stone Brush creates groups of stones and includes spacing plus mirror options. Paint changes a selected area, and Delete removes stones or full forms depending on what is selected.

6. Choose fill styles and effects

Smart fills a shape densely, Outline places stones around the edge, Grid fills in columns, Flexible works well with bold fonts, and Hexa uses a hexagon-style fill. Burst can add glow, fade, or scatter effects around a shape.
