Materials List
- light or colored rear-tip rhinestones or acrylic crystals of different colors
- ear nails
- a pair of clamps, earring clasps and adhesive
Instructions
-
Attach the rhinestones to the stems Then I carefully apply a small amount of glue to the back of each rhinestone and place it in the cone-shaped location. I use a tweezer to hold the rhinestone in place while the glue dries. It is important to work slowly and precisely to ensure that the rhinestones are uniformly spaced and securely fixed.
-
Once the glue is dry, I inspect each earring to make sure that all the rhinestones are securely attached. I also cut any excess glue or struts with a pair of scissors or I pull gently with a tweezer. Finally, I insert the clasks from the earrings to the stems.
