You Will Need (8 things)

  • Epoxy
  • Rhinestone(s)
  • Tweezers
  • Jewel Setter
  • Ipod Cover / Case
  • Double Sided Tape
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Cotton Bud (Que Tips)

Steps (6 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    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!

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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

  4. 4

    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

  5. 5

    Use the que tips and nail polish remover to clean up stray glue.

  6. 6

    Show it off to all non sparkly ipod people :)
