Instructions

  • Heat up the hot glue gun. Slowly dispense the glue around the inside of the gem mold. Go slowly and tap the mold on a hard surface every few minutes to settle the glue.

  • Wait a few minutes until the top is still tacky, but not fluid. Insert a plastic stir stick into the middle of the gem shape. Use something like a clothespin to hold it straight.

  • After 30 minutes, the top should feel completely dry and hardened. Carefully remove from the mold.
  • Paint at least two coats of paint on the gem portion of your DIY drink stirrers and let dry.

Notes

For best results, spray a sealer over the paint to reduce the potential for chipping over time.
