Bring A Sparkle To Your Everyday Life With Bedazzling

Bedazzling is back - are you ready to bring the sparkle?

Bring A Sparkle To Your Everyday Life With Bedazzling

Do you remember those old bedazzling kits you got as a kid where you could stamp sparkles into your blue jeans? Or those hair devices that stuck sparkles in your hair? If you do, you probably never thought years later that your old childhood phase would be popular again. Well, it is!

The media has helped bring back this obsession with sparkles. Youtuber Shane Dawson recently made a two-part video where household items were covered in sparkles by Instagram-famous bedazzler Bling'd Up. From coke bottles to sewing machines, it seemed like anything bedazzled goes. I wanted to try it out myself and here are the great things I discovered to make your next bedazzling craft a success.


1. Choose Household Items You Like


Katie Peles

Don't pick your favorite thing for your first try at bedazzling, and pick something that is so normal that making it bedazzled would be so extra. Because if it's not extra, why did you bedazzle it in the first place? Some examples include kitchen condiments, cleaning items, and makeup.


2. Buy From Amazon

Katie Peles

While your Michael's store might be right down the road, they most likely don't have the color or quantity of gems you need. If you are making a larger piece, think about getting something like a 3000 piece set. While it might sound like a lot, it really isn't, and if you go on the link you can get a good deal for less than $8.


3. Get A Picker Wax Pencil

While most come with one, a wax picker pencil will pick up the rhinestones with ease so you can do the work very quickly and don't get your fingers sticky from glue.


4. Don't Go Overboard On Glue

Katie Peles

When using a nice, heavy-duty glue, you only need a little. I found doing a fine line, a few inches long, would help me keep the bedazzles in a straight line on my piece while also let me glue down a few gems every time I had glue on my object.

I hope that this article will motivate you to get back into the gem lifestyle you have been missing out on.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
