A Quick Guide: How To Bejewel A Denim Vest In A Few StepsI love a great bargain and was very excited when I snagged this denim vest for less than $6 at Target. Although already decorated with lace inserts, I still wanted more bling. It’s easy to bejewel a denim vest even if you’re a beginner. For this project, you need:
How To Use Nailheads On Denim Rose Pins feature a Swarovski Elements Rhinestone attached to a stainless steel nailhead back. They work great with thicker denim material. I decided upon a simple straight line design and drew a chalk line as a guide to keep the embellishments on an even line. Then simply take a nailhead and press the prongs through the material so that the prongs are on the inside of your garment. Using the flat blade of a pair of scissors, bend the prongs towards the center of the nailhead. Continue adding rose pins and nailheads until your design is completed. This is how my vest looks. How would you have embellished it?

Amazing Dangling Rhinestone Earrings To Make Right NowWho doesn’t love sparkly, dangling rhinestone earrings? These are simple earrings to make for a beginner. I was able to make them with a little jewelry-making experience. For this project, you need:
Rose Montees are rhinestones with channels in the back for stringing. Begin by cutting a piece of wire about 6 inches long. Thread one end of the wire through one of the channels then take the other end of the wire and thread it through the cross channel so that your wire crosses and looks like the picture above. Pull the wire ends through until you can no longer see the bottom loop and the wire fits flush with the rose montee. Take another rose montee and thread it through following the same method stopping about ¾ of an inch from the bottom rose montee so that there is a small loop showing between both rose montees. Thread a crimping bead through both wires and then your fish hook earring. Thread your wire back through your crimping bead and pull these 2 wire ends until your loop and fish hook are about ¾ of an inch from the middle rose montee. Crimp your bead and cut off the excess wire. Repeat these steps with the other earring. When you are finished, you have a light, sparkly pair of earrings for everyday or any special occasion!
Swarovski Rose Montees are available at: Rhinestones Etc. Note: We no longer carry this product, but we have an extensive inventory of other crystal rhinestone products. Essential Steps To Creating A Sparkling Rhinestone JacketOne of my daughters loves theater, and she participates in community theater productions. To reflect her love, she wanted me to create a theater mask rhinestone jacket. For this project, I used:
Before I begin, let me say that all the pictures are of the same jacket. I worked on this in different rooms, and the lighting was brighter in one room, so the color looks off. To begin, I sketched out a template of a theater mask on white copy and positioned it on the jacket. I placed the rhinestones along the outside of the template using a spacing of ¼ of an inch. I removed the template, adjusted the spacing and alignment of stones, and then began gluing using Gem Tac. First, I removed a crystal and placed a drop of glue about the same size as the bedazzling gem in its spot. Then, using the Pick n Stick tool (you can use a tweezer), I placed the flatback jewel in the drop of glue and gently pressed down. I continued all the way around until the outside of the mask was done. I did the same for the other side of the jacket using the Jet rhinestones. Then I positioned the crystal inside the masks, outlining the eyes, nose, and mouth. These were glued down using the same technique as described above. Let the jacket dry flat for 24 hours. There you have it – a one-of-a-kind dazzling jacket. My daughter loved her jacket, and you will too!
