Instructions:

Step 1

Gather your supplies

Lay out all of your materials and wipe down the sunglasses with a damp cloth and isopropyl to remove any dirt or dust.

Transfer a small amount of E6000+ glue into the syringe for better control. Be sure not to overfill the syringe to avoid air bubbles. If you notice any, gently squeeze out the air bubbles and some glue before proceeding.

Step 2

Planning your design

Decide where you want to place your rhinestones. You can either find inspiration online, or make it up as you go along.

Step 3

Applying the glue

Work in small sections to prevent the glue from drying too quickly. Apply a thin layer of glue directly where you want to place your crystals, and be sure to not use too much as it can spill out the side of the crystals.

Step 4

Place your rhinestones

Use the Wax Picker Pen to carefully pick up and place your flat back crystals onto the sunglasses.

Step 5

Letting them dry

Once all the crystals are in place, allow the glue to dry overnight. Avoid touching or moving the sunglasses during this time to ensure a strong bond.

Step 6

Final touches

Inspect the sunglasses for any gaps or misplaced crystals. If needed, use isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to clean any excess glue and stickiness.

Congratulations you have completed the project! 

You’ve now customised your very own pair of sunglasses that will be sure to turn heads in the summer months. Get ready to sparkle this Summer!
