You will need the following tools and materials to make these rhinestone crystal earrings.
1: Two strands of rhinestone crystals. I made mine approximately 12cm long.
2: Two larger rhinestones.
3: Two glue on stud earrings with backs.
4: Araldite glue
5: A skewer.
6: Scrap Paper.
Follow these steps to make your rhinestone crystal earrings:
1: Squeeze the Araldite glue out into equal parts and mix it on the paper.
2: Add the glue to the edge of the first large rhinestone.
3: Drape one of the rhinestone strands around the rhinestone and set it aside to dry. I recommend placing them on a cutting mat so that you don’t get paper stuck on your earrings.
4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second set of rhinestones.
5: Add more glue to the earrings and place them on the back of the large rhinestones.
Once your earrings are dry they’re ready to wear! How perfect are these?
Here’s another pair I made using shorter pieces of rhinestone chain.

Follow these steps to make your headband:
1: Add some glue to the inside of the headband with the glue gun.

3: Begin wrapping the ribbon tightly around the headband. Overlapping the ribbon to ensure that the headband is completely covered.
4: Continue wrapping the headband until you reach the other end.
5: Add more glue to the other end of the headband and place the ribbon over it to secure the end.
6: Use the scissors to trim the excess ribbon.

8: Place the first rhinestone onto the glue.
9: Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the remaining rhinestones until you are happy with your embellishments.
Once all your rhinestones are in place your headband is finished. Wait for the glue to dry and trim any of the excess glue strings before you pop it on!
