Remains from diamond embroidery: other uses of rhinestones

There are several useful purposes for which “diamonds” will be rationally used. And here not only skillful hands and a creative approach will come in handy, but also imagination. And we don’t have to occupy it.

Decorating the interior

1. It happens that there is only a small amount of solid stones in surplus. There may be more than enough of them to decorate a photo frame;
2. the jewelry box will sparkle with new colors from a floral composition of dried flowers, varnished, framed with shining rhinestones;
3. a finished panel depicting wildflowers, painted with oil or acrylic paints, will attract admiring glances if you complement it with a mosaic in the image of bright butterflies, ladybugs and morning dew on the leaves;
4. Is a kitchen set for bulk products or a coffee can awaiting reconstruction for a new set, which is designed in a certain color? Then the remains of the mosaic scattering will come to the rescue;
5. a mirror in the hallway, painted with patterns or decorated in the corner with colorful decor, will create the effect of unique glamor;
6. an organizer for pencils and pens, a desk book, a diary, decorated with a single-color or multi-colored pattern, will add a stylish look to a boring office interior. All this is glued to the surfaces using double-sided transparent tape.. Draw a stencil of the intended composition on paper and cut out all the details from tape. Next, remove the protective tape from one surface of the adhesive tape and place it on the item. Release the second sticky side and lay out the pattern with tweezers or a stylus;
7. any unprepossessing glass or metal vase will be ennobled by an ornament of shiny faceted beads and several turns of jute rope or thin lace ribbon attached to hot glue. Even just placing the scattering over the entire plane in a chaotic manner on a layer of super PVA or PVA-MB universal stationery glue, you will get an amazing result. Treat the surface with any degreaser: alcohol, solvent, acetone.

Important! Before doing this, try using a cotton swab to wet a small area of ​​the degreased base to make sure the product you are using is safe. The most harmless of them is alcohol, but even it can ruin the paint layer on some products. In this case, you just need to wipe off the dust with a dry cloth and get to work.

Making postcards

Buy your favorite postcard from the store for a specific occasion. Place rhinestones along the edges or along the contour of the design, placing them on any glue.

Important! Keep in mind that a large amount of mosaic will significantly weigh down the thin cardboard and it will deform and sag under its weight.

Decorating clothes

In this case, you will need fabric glue, sold in craft stores. To give your blouse an elegant look, decorate the corners of the collar with shiny stones. Knitted accessories such as hats, mittens, scarves with embroidered elements and rhinestones will be a luxurious decoration for a warm wardrobe in the cold winter season.

In a similar way, you can decorate a bedspread, curtains, and sofa cushions with monograms.

Important! It is advisable to apply glue directly to the beads, as excess glue can leave streaks on the fabric.

Glue on toys

Have you been decorating your Christmas tree with the same toys for many years? If you are a little bored with them and want something new and unusual, think about the leftovers lying around in your “hamster” supplies. Even children can make glitter, snowflakes, and stars from a mosaic of any size and shape by placing it on PVA glue. Moreover, such an activity before the New Year holidays will be very interesting for them and will bring a lot of positive emotions.

Post a picture

Look on sale for patterns for partial or complete sewing with threads and beads.They are sold separately from the set and are inexpensive. Calculate the size based on the amount of remaining materials so that it doesn’t turn out that the work is not finished and there are no more stones left. They can be fixed with glue that was in the package with diamond embroidery.

The contours laid out from a monocolor diamond scattering on black or dark blue colored cardboard look very original. Placed in a frame, it will become an incredibly elegant design accent to one of the shelves in your closet.

Important! When selecting an image, you must choose one in which the cells correspond to the size of the rhinestones. Then the picture will have the most accurate outlines.

Eggs for Easter

Nowadays it’s no longer possible to surprise anyone with painting with food paints or bright stickers on Easter eggs. But rhinestones placed on eggshells in the letters XB or other symbols of this bright holiday can arouse genuine interest. Instead of glue for fastening, use edible mastic or make your own from egg white, beaten with a mixer with a pinch of sugar and citric acid. Place the resulting mass in the refrigerator for 5–7 hours, after which it can be used for its intended purpose.

Diamond placer is such a universal material that its use in every product will cause genuine admiration and a desire to immediately engage in creativity. Which is what you can use now.
