Your daughter needs a formal dress and you want her to feel fabulous in it but finances are tight. What to do? Although your daughter might cringe at the idea of wearing a dress from Goodwill, once you add sparkle to it, she will love it. Total cost including the dress, glue and rhinestones was under $35.00. For this project I used: 1 blue dress 12ss Sapphire Price Less Rhinestones (about 3 1/2 gross) 12ss Crystal Price Less Rhinestones ( 50 rhinestones) 30ss Crystal Price Less Rhinestones (22 rhinestones) Gem Tac Wax tipped tool  Please note: the pictures were taken under different lighting conditions, so the color appears different but it is the same dress. I began by gluing the 30ss Crystal rhinestones randomly on the sash. Place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestones on the dress. Using the wax tipped tool, pick up a rhinestone and gently press it into the glue drop.  Once I decided on the placement of the 30ss Crystal Rhinestones, I added the 12ss sapphire rhinestones accentuating with the 12ss crystal rhinestones. When you are done gluing, allow to dry flat for 24 hours.  Beautiful and unique! Now your daughter is happy and so is your wallet!

The glow of a candle creates an ambiance of warmth and coziness so it’s no wonder that candles are used as table centerpieces. This beautiful lace and rhinestone candle holder is the perfect gift to give to someone or keep for that special occasion centerpiece. Sometimes you just need a few simple things to turn something plain into something elegant and special. For this project I used: 1 glass votive holder White lace 12ss Crystal rhinestones Gem Tac Wax tipped tool  Begin by cutting a piece of lace that will fit around the glass votive with a slight overlapping. Using Gem Tac, glue the lace into place lining the lace up against the bottom edge. Allow to dry for 24 hours.  I liked the look of the rhinestones along the top edge of the lace but you can experiment and see what you like. Place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestone along the top edge of the lace. Using the wax tipped tool, pick up a rhinestone and gently press it into the glue drop.  Continue gluing rhinestones until the upper edge is lined with rhinestones. Allow to dry for 24 hours.  Perfect for any season or occasion, this lace and rhinestone glass votive holder is easy to make and pretty to look at.

Now that I am older, I still have special ornaments but they have different meanings, our first Christmas together, baby’s first Christmas or that High School Musical ornament that my daughter got when she was 8 and played the music over and over again, driving us all crazy. You can make this beautiful ornament and give to that someone special so that you will be remembered. For this project I used: 1 silver ornament Sapphire 12ss PriceLess Rhinestones Crystal 12ss PriceLess Rhinestones Gem Tac Wax tipped tool Chalk  I like to lightly sketch the design on the ornament with chalk to use as a guide. When you are done gluing, you can easily wipe the chalk marks away. Once you’ve settled on a design, place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestone on the guide chalk marks. Pick up a rhinestone using the wax tipped tool and gently press it into the glue. Don’t worry about keeping the design symmetrical and use the chalk lines as guides  I added several crystal rhinestones scattered between the sapphire rhinestones. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Using a paper towel, wipe off any stray chalk marks.  Now you have your own special ornament to build memories around!
