Instructions
Step 1
Gather your supplies and prepare the glue
Tip your flatback crystals into magic sorting tray so they are easily accessible. Make sure your wax picker pencil is sharp; this will make it easier to pick up your crystals. Prepare your E6000 glue by squeezing it into your syringe.
Step 2
Map out your crystals
Before we begin to glue our crystals it’s important to map them out. It may seem easy but the best way to achieve a smooth application is to plan your placement.
For a square shape make sure to place your crystals down along the tip of the case first before applying any glue. This way you can get a clear estimate of how many crystals will fit comfortably on the case.
Step 3
Placing your crystals
Once you have mapped out your flatbacks, you may now begin applying your E6000 glue. Make sure not to apply too much as they can make your embellishment appear messy.
It’s important to use the correct amount of glue, not too much, not too little. Being able to judge this will become easier with practice.
For this phone case SS16 Provence Lavender for the bulk of phone case. You can of course use a different size depending on the size of your phone case and adjust to your liking.
Step 4
Inspect and adjust
Once you have placed all your Flat Backs, it’s a good idea to make sure to inspect your work, this way you’re able to adjust any crystals before the glue sets.
If there are any gaps that couldn’t be filled by the larger crystals, you can go in at the end and fill them in with smaller sizes. For this DIY I went in with SS12 and SS9 crystals.
Step 5
Leave to dry
Now that your crystals are placed correctly, leave your embellishment to dry for at least 12 hours.
Congratulations you have completed the project!
