Custom Coloring Clear Rhinestones - by LMissCrafter - Jamie




Materials:
Paper & Embellishments - Victoria Garden by Echo Park
Ribbon & Rhinestones - Michael's
Sharpie Marker
 
Instructions to create custom rhinestone colors:



1. Start with a set of clear adhesive rhinestones.
2. Color on the top and edges of the rhinestone in the permanent marker color and brand of choice.  I have personally used Bic and Sharpie Markers.
3. Adhere to your project as desired.

  5. this can also be done with alcohol inks! I've even changed my diamonds on my rings to different color stones. Why? don't know - it was fun! I only buy clear blingy stuff or white and color it all!

  6. That is an awesome tip. Your card is beautiful. How did you do the bottom of it to fold like that? Super cool.

  7. Thanks for sharing this tip. Now I have a good use for my Bics and Sharpies other than letting my kids use them! And HOW did you tie such a perfect bow? I can never seem to do that!
