A Sparkling Crystallized Cap for Graduation Day

Every year as graduates get ready for that special day and to wear the funky graduation gown and cap, many decide to personalize their headgear.  I’m sure you all know what I’m going to say next!

Since my good friend Amelia was graduating from college this year, we decided to add some crystal love to her cap! We used 2 part epoxy glue to glue on some Crystal AB Flat Backs No HF just to be safe  (I didn’t want the heat from the bejeweler to melt anything on the cap).

It came out super cute and she’ll be sure to shine as she accepts her diploma!

Swarovski’s New Art Deco DIY Christmas Tree Earrings!

Every holiday season, DIYers go crazy making their Swarovski Christmas Tree earrings. This year, Swarovski has designed a new “Art Deco” version for their 2010 Christmas  Designs like the ones below:

 These particular earrings feature the new Swarovski Artemis bead from the Spring/Summer Innovations, in all of its different sizes in Olivine.

 

5540 Artemis Bead

These New Art Deco Christmas Trees also feature the 5601 cube as the base and the 5000 Round Bead tucked right under the Artemis bead. And of course a star bead at the top! I absolutely LOVE this new modern twist on the holidays! Just another great design from Swarovski!

Swarovski Crystallized Mercedes Benz! A Definite Road Hazard!

This Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 was coated with Swarkovski crystals from bumper to bumper . Standing in display outside the Elements Mall in Hong Kong, the bling on wheels is not for sale. This car is definitely a head turner and a road hazard I’m sure once the sun rays start blinding you. Just another example of the fact that ANYTHING can be crystallized! Love it!

Beadelle Crystal Buckles an Easy DIY Wedding Decoration

For many brides, right now is crunch time! It’s time to get all of the itty bitty details figured out including any last minute wedding decorations.  Most brides this year will be on a tight budget leaving very little room for extravagant extras. Fortunately for you, a new site I have mentioned you a few times called Glitterize.com, has some beautiful crystal buckles that are a wedding decoration must-have that won’t break the bank.


The Beadelle(R) Crystal Buckles are available in Silver with Crystal Stones (with Gold options on the way)! If you haven’t heard of “buckles” before, crystal buckles are a very popular wedding design element normally used with ribbon in smaller sizes (ex. decorating candle votives or flower bouquets), or chiffon with larger sizes (ex. on the back of a chair cover).




More this year than any other year, DIY wedding components have grown in popularity and I personally love the Beadelle(R) Crystal buckles because they are high quality crystals (super sparkly in person) at affordable pricing.   Available in 6 different shapes, in a variety of sizes, I’m  sure you will find a style that fits you and your creative vision!

The Half -Circle Buckles are available in 22x14mm and 32.5x21mm sizes.

The Heart Buckles are available in 31x37mm and 44x42mm sizes (a super romantic crystal decoration – my personal favorite!)

The Oval Buckles are available in 20x26mm, 24x35mm, and 30x37mm sizes.

The Rectangle Buckles are available in 20x27mm, 24x32mm, and 32x38mm sizes.

The Round Buckles are available in 20mm, 30mm, 35mm (double row), 40mm, and 73mm sizes.

The Square Buckles are available in 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm sizes.
