Okay you guys, I have a confession. I am officially in my rhinestone era. And honestly? I’m never leaving.

It started with one little bedazzled phone case and now I’m side-eyeing everything in my house like, “you could use a little sparkle.” My water bottle. My hair clips. My husband’s coffee mug (he didn’t ask, but he’s getting it anyway).

So I’m sharing allll the ideas below. Grab your besties, grab your tweezers, and let’s get glam!

Your Rhinestone Craft Night Shopping List

Before we get into the fun stuff, here’s what you’ll want on hand. Pro tip: buy more rhinestones than you think you need. Trust me on this one. Click the links for my recomendation.


1. The Phone Case

The OG rhinestone project! Go full coverage in one color for that glam, expensive look, or do a pastel ombré. I’m obsessed with a clear case with just your initial in pearls and stones. So chic.

2. Your Go-To Tumbler

You bring it everywhere, so it deserves main character energy. Bedazzle the handle and lid, or do a sparkly band around the middle. Just keep the stones off the rim where your lips go!

Okay, this one is SO fun and takes like 15 minutes. Add a line of stones across the top of a claw clip and suddenly it’s giving designer. Make a few in different colors and you’ve got party favors.

4. Sunglasses

Add tiny stones to the corners of your frames for a cat-eye moment. Cheap fun sunglasses work best here, so don’t use your nice ones!

5. Earbud Case

This is the cutest little pop of sparkle in your purse. Go with a heart pattern or full-on sparkle. Just leave the hinge and charging port clear.

6. Makeup Brushes

Bedazzle the handles of your brushes and your vanity will literally never look cuter. Pick one color per brush so you can tell them apart. Cute AND functional. We love.

7. Compact Mirror

A plain compact mirror plus pearls and pink stones equals the sweetest gift ever. Make one for yourself and one for your bestie.

Grab a blank acrylic initial keychain and fill it in with stones. Takes no time, and it makes the perfect take-home craft night favor.
