VOL. 1 INSTRUCTIONS

  • Step 1:

    Prep The Martini Glass Surface

    • Buff the entire surface area of both the cup and the base until the shiny surface is gone and the entire glass is matte.

    • Use alcohol wipe to remove dust from the glass.

    • Ensure the glass is dry before proceeding.

  • Step 2:

    Assemble the Martini Glass

    • Add a drop of B7000 glue into the hole on the stem part of the base, just enough to cover the base of the hole.

    • Connect the cup and the base, and allow the glue to dry for a minimum of 15 minutes before moving onto Part 4 (Proceed with Part 3 in the meantime).

  • Step 3:

    Practice Time

    • Take B7000 glue and practice drawing lines of glue on the practice sheet provided.

    • Once you are confident in your glue lines, fold the paper in half and dispose of the paper to avoid getting glue everywhere (thank me later).

  • Step 4:

    Bling the Rim

    • Once the glue is dry from Step 2, draw a 1-inch line of glue around the outside rim of the glass.

    • PUT THE CAP BACK ON THE GLUE

    • Using the bling pen, tap the wax end into the tray of rhinestones, pick one up, and place it at either end of the glue line.

    • Repeat this process until the entire rim is covered in rhinestones.

    • Continue down the outside of the glass until you reach the stem.

  • Step 5:

    Bling the Base

    • Draw a line of B7000 glue around the outside of the base.

    • Start by gluing a quarter of the outside of the base to prevent the glue from drying before placing the gems.

    • Continue this process until you have completed a full circle of gems around the outside of the base

    • Continue making circles of gems inward until you reach the stem and the base is covered in a dazzling display of rhinestones

  • Step 6:

    Bling the Stem

    • Draw a line of glue down the stem.

    • Place rhinestones one by one along the line

    • Repeat the process by drawing another vertical line next to the first, and placing gems one by one until the entire stem is blinged out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I recommend using B7000 glue for your blinging endeavors. This versatile and reliable adhesive is specially chosen for its strong bonding capabilities, ensuring your rhinestones stay securely in place on various surfaces. Whether you're embellishing glassware or creating sparkling masterpieces, B7000 glue is your go-to choice for a durable and flawless finish.

  • AB stands for "Aurora Borealis," a captivating coating that gives rhinestones a mesmerizing rainbow-like effect. This special treatment enhances the sparkle and adds an extra dimension to the rhinestones, creating a stunning play of colors. When you see AB in the description, it means the rhinestones have this enchanting and iridescent finish, perfect for adding an extra touch of magic to your bling creations!

  • Bling pens are a clever tool designed for easy and precise rhinestone application. These pens typically have a wax or tacky tip that allows you to pick up individual rhinestones effortlessly. Simply touch the pen's tip to the flat side of a rhinestone, and it adheres to the wax or tacky substance. With the rhinestone securely on the pen, you can then place it onto your chosen surface, such as glass or fabric, creating precise and controlled designs. Rhinestone pens make the blinging process seamless and enjoyable, ensuring that your designs are as dazzling as your imagination!

  • Yes, preparing your surface is a crucial step for successful blinging. To ensure a strong and lasting bond, we recommend buffing the surface to create a matte finish. Use alcohol wipes to remove any dust or residue, providing a clean canvas for your rhinestones to adhere to. Proper preparation guarantees a flawless and professional-looking bling design. Dive into the blinging adventure with a well-prepped surface for stunning results!

  • No, you don't have to seal the gems. The adhesive properties of the glue used during the blinging process are sufficient to securely hold the rhinestones in place. While sealing is optional, it's not a mandatory step, and your dazzling design will stay intact with the reliable bond created by the glue. Dive into the bling journey with confidence, knowing that the glue provides a strong and lasting hold for your sparkling gems!

  • The primary difference lies in the material composition. Glass rhinestones are made of glass, providing a traditional and classic sparkle. On the other hand, resin rhinestones are crafted from a type of plastic resin, offering a lightweight and more budget-friendly option, perfect for beginners. While both options are dazzling, glass rhinestones may have a slightly higher refractive index, resulting in a brilliant and timeless sparkle. The choice between glass and resin rhinestones depends on your preferences, project requirements, and desired aesthetic.
