Rhinestone Jeweled Ornament (Instructions)

Make your own rhinestone tree ornament

Christmas is magical for kids and grownups alike and one of the things that make it so special is the Christmas tree. Decorating the tree together can be the highlight of the season and you can reminisce about the ornaments. These rhinestone encrusted ornaments are easy to make and will add to the magic of Christmas.

For this project I used:
One red Christmas ornament
Gem Tac
Wax tipped tool
12ss Red and Crystal Rhinestones
White chalk

For this ornament, I chose a simple pattern. To keep it symmetrical, I measured the circumference of the ornament and divided it into equal sections and marked these sections with white chalk.

Using the chalk lines as guides, place a drop of glue about the size of the rhinestone on the ornament. Using the wax tipped tool, pick up a rhinestone and gently press it into the glue.

Continue gluing until your pattern is complete and then allow to dry for 24 hours.

Traditional meets modern in these magical ornaments. They even make great gifts!
