Step One: Decide what you are going to crystal.  Options include your cell phone, iPod, shuffle, jeans, t-shirt, purse, hat, backpack, sunglasses, prom dress, sun dress, shoes etc.  You are only limited by your own imagination.

 

Step Two: Find a flat working space with room to work.  Spread your tools out and you may want a small paper plate for the glue and a small shallow dish to place your stones in.

 

Step Three: Decide on a pattern –make up your own or copy one of the patterns on our website. Do you have a pattern or lines on the item you are going to crystallize?  If so, follow it.  Outline important areas first.  To get a straight line, glue crystals following an edge and work your way out.

 

Step Four: Map out the pattern you’ve chosen to crystal –visually map it out or mark it with a pen.

 

Step Five: Using a pin, poke a small hole in the tip of the crystal glue bottle.  Use a small amount of glue. This is the tricky part – you want enough glue – not too much and not too little. If you’re working on a small area you may want to squirt some glue on a small piece of paper, or paper plate and dot using the positioning tool.

 

Step Six: Place a crystal rhinestone on each dot. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your work is done. Let dry, preferably for 24 hours.

 

Relax and Have Fun.

P.S. You may want to work with a buddy.
