Bedazzling for Beginners | Transform a $10 Notebook into Gorgeous Gift!

Bedazzling is back with a vengeance, and once you start, you won't be able to stop! This tutorial shows you everything you need to know about bedazzling - from notebooks to frames, flip flops to mirrors, and even creating gorgeous decorative pens with puff balls. Watch the transformation of a simple CVS notebook ($9.99) into an absolutely stunning gift perfect for Mother's Day, birthdays, or just because! The difference bedazzling makes is incredible - it takes something ordinary and turns it into something special that looks way more expensive than it actually is. You'll learn about all the essential tools: rhinestone kits (around $20 on Amazon), picker pens vs. wax pencils (the wax pencils last forever!), rhinestone trays (be careful - they're very light and easy to accidentally flip!), hot fix tools, and the best glues to use (B-7000, E-8000, Gem-Tac). The hot fix tool works by heating up the adhesive to make rhinestones stick forever - just add a little dab of glue first, hold the heated tool over it for a couple seconds, and you're done! Creating decorative pens is so easy and makes the perfect gift companion: just grab bead pens with puff balls (because who doesn't love a good puff ball?), add inexpensive beads from Amazon or TEMU, throw in some spacer beads, and mix colors that match your project. These pens paired with a bedazzled notebook make an incredibly thoughtful gift! Project ideas covered: bedazzled notebooks, thank you notes and stationery, flip flops, frames (both fabric and regular), mirrors with bling all the way around, and more! The best part? This is something you can do while watching TV without having paint and supplies all over the place. It's perfect for multitaskers who need to stay busy! Pro tips: Use heavy-duty rhinestone trays (the light ones flip easily!), get yourself a Magic Credit Card Wand to help move rhinestones around, and organize everything in rhinestone organizers to keep your supplies sorted by size and color. Different sizes create dimension - mix 3mm, 5mm, and other sizes for the best effect! An upcoming project teaser: a gorgeous mirror using a Decoupage Queen napkin! Start with Dixie Bell Bonding Boss primer, base coat in white (you MUST have white first!), then apply your napkin or decoupage paper after removing all the plies until it's almost see-through. Then bedazzle it and it's going to be fabulous!
