A Little Fun with Stampin' Up! Basic jewels

Tip of the Week....altering the color of rhinestone jewels

I really like it when I can alter a product and use it in a way that is different than it was intended.   Did you know that you can change the color of the basic rhinestones to match your projects using a Sharpie marker? 

Choose a sharpie marker that will match the project you are creating.  In this case, I am using a green sharpie to create cat eyes for my Halloween project.  

The marker must be permanent or the color will not dry onto the rhinestones, and it will wipe off easily.  Color the rhinestones while they are still attached to the original packaging.  See how the color covers the rhinestone, but it still sparkles?  

The rhinestones would look great on this project in clear, but don't they look GREAT in green?  

I hope that this tip will be useful to you when you are creating your upcoming projects.  If you need products for any of your projects, I would love to be your demonstrator.  Please visit my store today BY CLICKING RIGHT HERE. Please use hostess code 7WJRC6DJ at checkout.
