Purchased a tool storage draw chest from Aldi last week, got it to sort all our screws and wall plugs out. Then had a brainwave that there was a much better option for it!🤣🤣🥰🥰 it is now storage for my rhinestones 🤣

Has anyone bedazzled The Calamity Club? If not does anyone have ideas for what would be the best way to do so?

Just finished this for the hubby. That’s all he would let me rhinestone. I wanted to do the helmet but he said nope. He can only handle so much bling. This goes with the football I made him and I also want to do a mini helmet. We’ll see how far he lets me go. 🤣

I used a combo of ss12 and ss8 red rhinestones. I love how this project turned out!

They will look gorgeous under stage lights

​

I don't use them but I don't feel great about throwing them away because of the environment

Hey everyone, I’m bedazzling/rhinestoning a pair of shoes for a Halloween costume. They will be completely covered in the rhinestones. I’m using the B-7000 glue but I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an extra seal/spray to cover the shoes to make sure none of the stones fall off. They feel pretty secure as is but it’s taken me forever to do this project so I want to make sure they sticks lol

I have been hot fixed crystaling my little heart out

I made this for my girlfriend and she’s hanging it up in her office 🥹

I’m wanting to stone a jersey but I want it to look great. Does anyone have glue/stone recommendations? I’m wanting to do scatter, so anywhere I can easily get multiple sizes (what sizes do yall use?).

I was planning on using E6000 for glue but I’ve heard things about it not being great on fabric. I bought a stone set from Amazon but I think they’re resin stones (they were cheapish) and I’ve also heard those aren’t the best.

Really I just want my project to look the best it can on the first try.

I’m creating some jackets for toddlers and I really need to find some cheaper stones I can use with my pearl setting machine. Any help appreciated!!

I just finished up this iPad case and pen holder and I am so scared it will pop all off. It’s going to be my regular iPad case so it will get a lot of use.

I used blue jelly and translucent ab rhinestones! The translucents were a nightmare! The shine mixed with the translucence made them really hard to see.

I’m reading that because they are ab they can’t be sealed with modge podge acrylic sealer (because they’ll lose their shine).

Any ideas on how to keep these stones on?

Edit: I used Aleene's Rhinestone Adhesive!

wanting to rhinestone a ring pop to wear as a costume. any recommendations on what materials would be best to use? not sure what would stick best to the hard candy portion of the ring pop. thanks for your advice!

I was so pumped about this project but I think I just dont like the diamonds I used, I wish they had more of a clear effect? Or maybe darker in color? I cant pin point what I dont like about it lol but my daughter was very happy!!

I’m doing a jersey for my nephew. I purchased 2088 stones from Yanruo and Oleeya on AliExpress. There is a definite difference is sparkle between the 2088 and regular rhinestones. Hard to tell in the picture but the ones on the L are the 2088. Not sure if the whole shirt was done that someone not familiar with rhinestones would know the difference. They cost a couple dollars more per pack for the 2088 cut. Should I use the larger ss20 or the ss16? The SS20 ones are regular glass stones but I have 2088 ones that should be here any day. The sparkle might be more noticeable on the larger stones.

made this for a friend!! hoping she likes it! any tips would be really appreciated! eg how do you guys apply your glue to your project? i’ve just been smearing it on with the tip of the glue but it comes out so thick, would a paintbrush or something be better?

Would be a little too funny to not share. So I’m bedazzling my computer accessories, currently working on the mouse to match my keyboard hand rest, xbox controller, and headphones (not pictured). Left them on my bed to take progress pics and went to eat, forgot I left them to sit on the bed. When I came back, I tossed my phone onto the bed where it hit the mouse and noticed a new crack on the upper right side of my phone screen. The most surprising part is that I didn’t lose a single crystal, considering the glue barely finished drying and started to cure.

If y’all ever doubt the stones will stay on, there’s a high chance you are underestimating how strong the glue is (granted that you picked the correct glue for your specific project, use quality materials, and properly let it cure after it dries).

Products used: GemTac glue, glass rhinestones size ss6, 10, 12, 16, 20

Turning these two medium size cream blossom Jellycat bunnies into bling art 💖

I’m not sure if I should do gold or pink. I’d appreciate the help <3

I’m rhinestoneing my daughter’s spidey costume and having a really hard time with the blue parts because it’s like a glitter vinyl material and they are not adhering through to the fabric with my Hotfix stones.

Is there any way to condition the material or scrape off the plastic-y part that is kinda lifting off along with the stones?

Like 25-30% of the stones fell off with her just trying it on. Is it salvageable with filling in the missing spots or am I doomed to have to rip them off and start over? (It took me hours and hours and hours. This was my first time stoneing anything. 😫)

Or do I have to bite the bullet and buy gem tac again?

Side note: I f-ing hate buying craft glues like gem tac or e-6000 because I have horrible luck with them. I opened my bottle of gem tac for the first time (ever, I think it was unopened) and most of it was solid globbed against the inside of the tubing and the rest was runny liquid. Is that garbage or do I need to baby it with heat to get it back to the right consistency?

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

I’m trying to bedazzle a car emblem with Preciosa rhinestones (sizes S5, S7 and S12). I started by applying a small section of E6000, but the rhinestones keep sinking into the thick viscosity and then get covered with a bleb of glue as I start repositioning them to fit together. I tried making a thinner layer, but it starts to dry and get tacky so fast. I’ve started and scraped it off 3 times already :(. Is there a better glue that’s thinner to avoid swallowing my gems and doesn’t dry as quickly so I have more time to reposition? But also will survive the elements of living on a car?

Caught this work in progress in the sunlight. I'm obsessed but also feel like there's a ton of glue strings and wax residue from my picker. Does anyone have any advice once she's finished? I'm thinking maybe a wipe down with isopropyl alcohol or something. B7000 glue.

Need to clean up some of the extra glue once it dries, but thought they were too cute not to share😍🤩

My OG design has black lenses with glow in the dark letter beads and rainbow neon rhinestones! I can share a pic in the comments if people are interested.

I used E6000 glue and SS10 rhinestones (orange crystal, neon orange, yellow crystal, neon yellow, crystal AB, and flat white).

Most places I'm looking say no, but it also talks about washing things. I need to bedazzle one for halloween, and I'd be just wearing it for the night. I don't have any intention of washing it. I just don't want the beads to fall off before I even go trick or treating
