Bling-bling is in big time!
It doesn't necessarily have to be diamonds, Swarovski crystals are lining every type of object you can think of. At first we saw these shiny ornaments on shoes, purses, and off course - jewelry. Now they're dressing up everything from sunglasses and cigarette boxes to laptops and video cameras!
Turning your own old accessories into some neuevo bling-bling is super easy. Start off by buying some Austrian Swarovski crystals or other small crystals at your nearest bead or art supply store. Then use crazy glue to glue the crystals to anything you own. Arrange the crystals in different colors to create shapes or objects. You can completely cover your item, or simply add a little pizzaz with a small decorative shape. You can also put your name on your stuff giving your things that oh so cool camp style! Our favorite pick is to design our initials on our cell phones!
In case you want to show off your bling-bling knowledge, here's some info on Swarovsky: They release two collections every year that include more crystals with different shapes, sizes, hues, and colors. They design their own jewelry and decorations, but they also sell their crystals to renown designers such as Dior, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino - fancy huh?!
All your stylized crystallized belongings alone may make you the talk of the party, but add a pair of our chandelier dangle and drop earrings will make you the talk of the town!
