Bedazzled Board Games, Books & Gift Ideas

What if you took a $5.98 board game from Amazon and turned it into the most unforgettable gift anyone has ever received? That's exactly what this live is all about. Bedazzled board games, rhinestoned Dr. Seuss books, blinged-out purses, shoes, notebooks, and more — plus everything you need to know about rhinestone sizes, the best glues, and how to seal everything so nothing falls off. You'll see finished Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Monopoly, Sorry, and Trouble boards — every one of them fully rhinestoned with game pieces that still glide perfectly over the surface. You'll learn why 4mm is the ideal all-purpose rhinestone size, when to use 3mm for fill-in work and 5mm for statement pieces, and why crystal AB in the Beads Land brand on Amazon gives you the most sparkle for the money. The video also covers bedazzled Dr. Seuss books (imagine giving a rhinestoned "Oh, the Places You'll Go" as a baby shower or graduation gift), designer-inspired notebooks, acrylic clutch purses with gold chains, sunglasses upgraded with 3mm shiny rhinestones over flat matte ones, cross-body bags, wine tote bags, and a pearl art camo jacket made from a $15 Goodwill find using transfer paper and a pearl art kit. You'll learn the difference between resin/jelly rhinestones and crystal/glass rhinestones, why GemTac in a syringe is the best adhesive for shoes and clothing (it's washable!), and how diamond painting sealer locks everything down without dulling the sparkle. Plus tips on the sticky residue problem with rhinestone-by-number kits and the simple fix that solves it. Whether you're looking for unique handmade gifts, want to start bedazzling, or just want to see what happens when someone puts rhinestones on literally everything — this one's for you. ──────────────── ✦ SUPPLIES & SOURCES Board Games: Candyland — $5.98 on Amazon Chutes and Ladders — $5.98 on Amazon Sorry — $5.98 on Amazon Trouble — Amazon or Goodwill (extra game pieces available on Amazon) Monopoly — $19.99 on Amazon Scrabble — ~$18–19 on Amazon Rhinestones (Beads Land brand on Amazon): 4mm (SS16) — best all-purpose size for most projects 3mm (SS12) — great for detail work, fill-in gaps, and small items 5mm (SS20) Crystal AB — perfect for statement pieces and borders 5mm Champagne — gorgeous neutral for big projects 5mm Black — clean, bold look for game boards and accents Crystal AB gives maximum sparkle and color reflection Adhesives: GemTac Glue — best for shoes and clothing (washable); pour into a precision syringe for application E8000 / B7000 — precision tip, great for hard surfaces Precision syringe applicators — Amazon Sealers: Diamond Painting Sealer — apply with a cheap brush after all rhinestones are placed; glossy finish, does not dull rhinestones Tools: Wax picker pencils — sharpen with a regular pencil sharpener Picker pens with replacement wax tips Rhinestone trays — shake to flip stones right-side up Mini vacuum cleaner — for stray rhinestones Books & Gifts: Dr. Seuss books — ~$9.99 each on Amazon (Oh, the Places You'll Go / Cat in the Hat / If I Ran the Party) Classic literature covers — Marshalls, ~$6–9 each (Jane Austen, etc.) Diamond art notebooks — 10 pack for ~$29 on Amazon Old lady keychains rhinestone-by-number kit — 6 for $9.99 on Amazon Purses & Accessories: Acrylic clutch purses — Amazon (with gold chain) Cross-body bags — Amazon Wine tote bags — Amazon, ~$6–7 Doggy bag / restaurant bag — Amazon Pearl art kits — $9.99 on Amazon (adhesive, no glue needed) Clothing & Shoes: White shoes — $39 on Amazon (bedazzled with crystal AB + champagne mix) T-shirts — wash first, use GemTac, seal with diamond painting sealer, wash inside out Camo jacket — Goodwill ($15); pearl art design transferred with transfer paper ──────────────── ✨ SISTERHOOD MEMBERSHIP Want more projects like this?
