Once you’ve got a decent selection of rhinestones, the next thing you’re going to need is tools. The main tools you’ll need include adhesive and a pick up tool. However, you may also find a cocktail stick and a ruler useful too. The ruler can be used if you’re looking to create straight lines, or symmetrical designs. The cocktail stick is useful for applying smaller dots of adhesive.

It’s especially important to pay attention to the adhesive you invest in. Some are definitely much better than others, so it could be worth reading online reviews before deciding which one to invest in. If you’re planning on selling your handmade card creations, you’ll definitely need to high-quality adhesive to ensure the Swarovski flat back rhinestones don’t fall off during transit.

A picking tool will make it much easier to create accurate designs. It will also minimise the mess created. Once you’ve got your tools and your crystals, you can then get to work on your designs.
