Lightning-Fast Phone Case Bling

Make your phone as unique as your playlist! Grab a clear phone case, a few flat-back rhinestones from the Strass Repair Kit, and some strong craft glue.

• Step 1: Pick your layout—go all out with a rainbow, initials, hearts, or keep it chic with a border.
• Step 2: Dot tiny amounts of glue on your case (avoid over-gluing—less is more!).
• Step 3: Place your rhinestones with tweezers or a toothpick and press gently.
• Step 4: Let dry as directed—done!

Mix colors for a statement vibe, or stick to one for sleek, luxe energy. These quick rhinestone DIYs turn any phone into an everyday confidence boost—plus, you’ll never mix up your case with someone else’s!

DIY Sparkly Keychains… in a Flash!

Lost keys? Not with these! Upcycle any plain keychain or even a sturdy piece of craft foam. Use rhinestones from your Strass Repair Kit for serious shine.

• Step 1: Cut your foam or felt into a fun shape—think stars, hearts, lightning bolts.
• Step 2: Add a jump ring to turn your shape into a keychain if needed.
• Step 3: Arrange your rhinestones in stripes, initials, or even your fave emoji design!
• Step 4: Let dry. Attach to your backpack or keys and watch them catch the light.

Tip: Choose a color combo you love—try ombré or alternate bright and pastel for all kinds of moods. These make creative teen gifts too!

Blinged-Out Notebooks: Class-Ready in Minutes

Notebook covers = blank canvas for your personality. Jazz up the front with patterns, quotes, or even a quick border using the Strass Repair Kit.

• Step 1: Plan your design—monogram? Lightning bolt? Random sparkle scatter?
• Step 2: Dab a small amount of glue where you want your stones.
• Step 3: Lay rhinestones onto your pattern one by one for max payoff.
• Step 4: Let dry, and you’re ready for class—bling school supplies = guaranteed mood boost!

Customize for every subject or mood—swap colors on each notebook to keep your notes organized (and cute). These easy bedazzle projects make boring homework a lot more exciting!

Last-Minute Glam Hair Clips

Transform plain snap clips or bobby pins with your leftover rhinestones (from the Strass Repair Kit) for five-minute glam crafts your hair will love.

• Step 1: Lay out clips and decide your glam attack—single row, zig-zag, or dot with color pops.
• Step 2: Lightly apply glue to one side of each clip.
• Step 3: Carefully set your rhinestones. Mix sizes and shades for custom sparkle.
• Step 4: Dry, then style your hair—add one or layer up for a festival look any day.

Style tip: Match to your outfit or mood, or coordinate with a friend for instant squad goals. Super cute, super quick, super you!

Tips for Safe, Happy Rhinestoning

Before you go full-on glitter-crazy, a few pro moves:

• Use a well-ventilated area for glue, and keep your workspace clean.
• Ask an adult for help with sharp tools or anything that gets hot (like glue guns).
• Start with less glue than you think you need—it’s easier to add more later than to clean up overflow.
• Mix rhinestone colors for personality, but keep balance by repeating one color throughout your piece.
• Snap before & after pics—seeing your transformation is a confidence boost!
