Decorating Your Cell Phone with Rhinestones

Cell phones are increasingly becoming fashion accessories. You can easily add a little Bling Bling to your phone with Swarovski flatback rhinestones.

Instructions

1. Choose your rhinestone color(s). Your color choice should be similar to your phone color, as the phone color will come through a little.
2. Choose a rhinestone size. We suggest ss7 (2.5mm) or ss12 (3mm) . For more intricate or advanced designs, use smaller size stones.
   1. Create a design by drawing it out on paper first to perfect what you want. Once you have decided on a design, draw the design on to the phone with a pencil. First name initials are a favorite
   2. Using a T-pin, or a wooden cuticle stick, apply a small puddle of Gem-Tac Glue on to a piece of paper. Dab the T-pin or cuticle stick into the Glue. “Paint” the glue on to a small portion of your design.
   3. Moisten your index finger slightly, and dab your finger onto the Rhinestone to pick it up (The rhinestone should stick to your finger) Then place the rhinestone onto the glue you have just painted onto your pattern.
3. Let dry for about 1 to 2 hours.

Depending on the cell phone size and rhinestone size used, the average design requires about three or four packages (100 pieces) of rhinestones.
