Collect all the things you'll need
The Rhinestones vary in cost depending on quality and brand. swarovski it the most expensive I know of but I prefer these but any will do
You may also want some small bowls to sort sizes and colors into
Don't forget to cover you work space! -
Plan your design
Use your double sided tape(or ordinary) place it on the areas you want to rhinestone set the rhinestones on.
(Try do this neater than my quick example :p)
Now you know your design will fit. -
Carefully peel the tape off in one piece or sections. keep the rhinestones on so you can use them as a guide and can easily keep track of them when your gluing
or
Sometimes I like to just balance the stones on a small area and take a photo and just refer to it on the camera -
Follow the instruction on the back of your glue packet.
Use mixing stick included or match stick/toothpick ect... Glue a small line on the case. Quickly stick the stones on and gently push down on them.
I used clear Araldite glue it comes in 2 parts and only activates when both parts are mixed. This is handy cos the glue doesn't dry in the tube.
also The longer a glue takes to dry the stronger it is or so I'm told.
The one I used took 3 days to bond properly -
Use the que tips and nail polish remover to clean up stray glue.

Show it off to all non sparkly ipod people :)

Ooooh sooo pretty. I love covering things in rhinestones and it was such a clever idea to use one of the clear cases.

I think I will do something similar to this to my phone-I'm thinking leopard print in rhinestones would look pretty good. I like the double sided tape idea.

I recently bought double sided glue from the dollar store. Haven't tried it yet...
Your ipod case is the very best-thanks

You should really enter this for the SATC competition-I mean, if Carrie had an iPod it would -blatantly- be covered in rhinestones. Though I doubt she'd stick them on herself. Thanks for your approval of my leopard print idea-I shall trawl ebay for some rhinestones in a mo. In my opinion, everything should be leopard print.

Cool! I did this with my iPod. I got a kit at Big Lots and you didnt need any glue you just stick it on like a sticker and it stayed on for a long time i must have had it on for almost a year then i got sick of the color (clear and pink) so i pop them off they were stuck on there good but was removable i think the pack was like $4 or so and one pack was enough unless you want it all one color unless you find them all in one color
