Theater Masks Rhinestone Jacket

Essential Steps To Creating A Sparkling Rhinestone Jacket

One 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:

• One jacket
• 12ss Crystal   Rhinestones 88 pieces
• 12ss Jet  Rhinestones 88 pieces
• Gem-Tac
• Pick n Stick tool or tweezers

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!
