By best I meant easiest to fix on

I mean will these be easy to fix to Lycra?

Or is there something easier?

yes they will be fine on lycra, or most other smooth finish fabrics, but you need to follow the iron on instructions very carefully so that they last.

you can buy them as designs on clear plastic sheets, or in long strips. I personally find these ones work much better & are less of a faff to attach, the plastic sheet is sticky, so you can re position the stones to make your own designs, & they stay put until ironed on

Also use a piece of 100% cotton cloth to iron through, this will mean you can hold your iron there for longer, so making them stick better

unless you know how to strengthen the holes etc, I wouldn't use the rivet in kind that go through the fabric on lycra, or any other stretch cloth

good luck & hope that helps

I know them as iron on, rhinestone, or diamante motifs, but you could also try diamante transfers
