But that plain denim or canvass tote will look so drab in the midst of the London Olympics festivities. Here’s an idea you will love: try using iron on rhinestones with flag designs. Choose from different flag designs available such as UK Flag, USA Flag, Ghana Flag or Ireland Flag. If you can’t find the flag you are looking for, have one custom-made for you. Carry your tote with pride.If the flags aren’t your cup of tea, you can always use symbols or emblems of the countries you are supporting. A colorful iron on Shamrock rhinestone, for instance can jazz up your tote and show your support to Ireland. The eagle emblem clutching the American flag will show your unwavering support to team America.Canvass and denim bags are not the only ones you can jazz up for the London Olympics.

Instead, add some sparkle to your outfit with London Olympics-inspired iron on t-shirt transfer rhinestones.I also like the idea of putting rhinestones on shoes. You can use small fabric iron on designs and just embellish it a little with rhinestones.  Put it on the sides of your shoes.

You can also choose from a myriad of rhinestone colors.It’s an alternative way of accessorizing. I don’t really suggest wearing lots of expensive jewelry when attending the London Olympics. You don’t want your jewelry to get snagged in the midst of the crowd. Don simple outfits and just inject style with rhinestones.

You can create different shapes and images on different kinds of shoes to get the look you want. You don’t need to be decked in jewels.
