Whether you are looking for a little sparkle or full out glam, you are sure to find something you love on this list of rhinestone crafts.
Rhinestones are more than just sparkly accents! These tiny gems can transform ordinary items into masterpieces, making each project uniquely exquisite.
Whether you’re adding a touch of glamour to fashion accessories or bringing a little bling to your home decor, rhinestones lend a touch of elegance and sophistication that captures everyone’s attention.
How can you add rhinestones to an object?
Using rhinestones in your crafting is a fun and creative way to enhance its appearance and make it shine! There are a few methods you can use to add rhinestones to different surfaces:
Glue: The easiest method is using an adhesive glue. You can use a rhinestone glue found in your local craft store like Gem-Tac or something stronger like E-6000 (an industrial strength adhesive).
Hotfix: Hotfix rhinestones have heat-activated glue on the back and are added using a hotfix applicator or an iron. This is best used for adding rhinestones to fabric.
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic or Epoxy Resin: If you are looking for a thicker, glossy adhesive for your rhinestones, try either Mod Podge Dimensional Magic or Epoxy Resin. If you aren’t sure when to use each one, read my comparison of the products.
Rhinestone Stickers: You can purchase rhinestones already in a straight line or design in the sticker section of your craft store. This is good for paper crafts where the rhinestones don’t need to be permanent.
With these different methods at your disposal, you can easily add a touch of glitz and glam to your crafts!
