 Bedazzle a Pendant Using Glue-on Half Pearl Faux GemsA pendant can be more than just a simple accessory. It can be the star of your entire outfit. For example, this wooden clearance bin pendant needs a bit of bling. With half pearl faux gems, you can transform it from plain to a statement piece. For this project, I used:
I began with gluing the 10ss pearls around the center hole. I placed a drop of glue about the size of the pearl on the pendant and placed a pearl in the glue drop, gently pressing down.  Continue gluing around the center hole.  Next, I glued the 34ss.  When finished gluing the half pearl gems, allow the pendant to dry flat for 24 hours. Breathtakingly simple, flatback pearls add a touch of elegance that will accessorize any outfit and the best part, no one will have seen anything like it before.

Introducing PriceLess Crystals – A Cost Effective BrandFor years, I only used Swarovski Rhinestones. The brand offered high-quality sparkling crystal in different colors, sizes, and shapes. However, Swarovski is also the most expensive faux gem on the market. Instead, try one of the nicest cost-effective brands on the market – PriceLess Crystals. Sometimes, only the best will do. However, other times, a less expensive brand can offer you outstanding sparkle at a better price. PriceLess is about 30% cheaper than the Swarovski Rhinestones. They are genuine crystal – AAAA rated, the highest crystal rating. There are no color variations, scratches, bubbles, or cloudiness in these crystal rhinestones. There are fewer facets and the cuts are different, but these rhinestones create a dazzling display under the lights.
Close up, you can see the difference between the rhinestone brands but from a distance, both produce a dazzling display of brilliance. I still am in love with Swarovski Rhinestones, but for some projects, I will choose PriceLess Rhinestones. (Note: Swarovski removed itself from the retail market in 2020)  For over a decade, Rhinestones Etc. has been selling quality bedazzling jewels at competitive prices.

 Super Easy DIY Sparkling Bling Holiday Ornament to MakeFortunoff is a store of distinction that began in Brooklyn, NY, in the early 1920’s. At Christmas time, they transform their backyard store into a magical, glittery wonderland of decorated trees. Around the holidays, my husband and I loved walking through their Christmas Store. However, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create a DIY bling holiday ornament. For this project, I used:
For this ornament, I decided on stripes. Using the pieces of chalk, I measured equidistant lines around the ornament. Place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestone on the ornament, pick up a rhinestone using the wax tipped tool and gently press into the glue drop.  Continue gluing keeping your line of rhinestones equal distant apart. For the bottom, I glued a rhinestone directly at the center and then glued rhinestones in a circle around it. Here’s a picture of the bottom of the ornament:  When finished gluing, allow to dry for 24 hours.  Ready to amaze your friends with your stunning Christmas tree? This ornament will sparkle and delight, and you won’t find it at Fortunoff.
Of course, you'll need rhinestones for your bling project! Rhinestones Etc. has an extensive collection of bedazzling jewels for all your needs. Explore our inventory of high quality crystals. 
Discover How To Make a personalized Blinged Out Coffee Mug
Some people in your life make gift giving very difficult. You know how it is, you walk from store to store and still come up empty handed. You want something showing how much you appreciate that special person without spending a lot of money. This personalized blinged out coffee mug is easy to make and is perfect for that one person on your list. The Best Reason to Give A Personalized Gift
Generally, any gift is a thoughtful expression, but a personalized one expresses so much more. Here are our top reasons for giving a personalized keepsake.
1. Strengthens the Connection with Your Recipient
Who doesn’t love a personalized, handmade gift? Moreover, your recipient will feel special and loved when something has their name or initial on it.
2. Your Gift Is Unique
Personalization adds uniqueness to the item. Your gift will become a treasured keepsake.
3. Suits Any Occasion
You can give a personalized gift to anyone for any occasion. They make the perfect universal present.
Rhinestones Are Perfect for Personalization
Rhinestones add a touch of luxury and glamor to whatever item you choose to bling out. Plus, you can glue rhinestones to virtually any item. Clothing, coffee mugs, shoes, pocketbooks, and sunglasses are just a few of the many things you can bling.
Typically, smaller rhinestone sizes work better for making initials. You may want to try using rhinestone sizes from 6ss to 12ss. If you’re not used to working with rhinestones, you probably should use the larger 12ss size. Sometimes, beginners find tiny rhinestones harder to glue. Instructions to Make a Blinged Out Coffee Mug
Generally, creating a blinged out coffee mug is an easy process. As with any rhinestone project, the secret is in the gluing method. Always check your adhesive to make sure it’s suitable for creating a strong bond to your material.
Many crafters don’t like to use E6000 because of the potential toxicity of breathing in fumes when gluing. However, when used correctly, this glue is strong enough to keep rhinestones in place through repeated washings. You may want to try a 2-part epoxy instead. Finally, this type of rhinestone project requires hand washing only to keep the rhinestones intact. For this project I used:
I usually find it easier to keep to my pattern with guidelines. Thus, I like to use chalk to create my framework because you can easily remove it. Plus, you can easily change the size or font when using erasable guidelines. So, begin by drawing the letter on your mug with a ruler and a piece of chalk. 
After you’ve chalked in your letter you are ready to start gluing. Place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestone on your chalk guideline. Pick up a rhinestone using the wax tipped tool and gently press down into the glue drop. A very small amount of glue should seep from the edge of the rhinestone. This creates a seal to keep the embellishment from peeling off when washing. 
Then, continue gluing in this manner until the letter is complete. When you’re finished, let your project dry for 24 hours. Discover Discount Rhinestone Prices
