We’re a pretty crafty bunch at my house, and lately my daughters have become obsessed with bedazzling. Their latest project? Books! ✨
One evening they hosted their very own craft-and-yap night, where everyone brought along their current favorite read and turned it into a sparkly masterpiece.
What We Used
We gathered a few tools to make the process easy and fun:
- Diamond Dotz pens and wax – perfect for picking up and placing the beads.
B-7000 glue (off-brand version from Amazon) – this worked even better than expected! The bottles come with a fine needle tip for precision gluing and a needle-cap lid to keep it from drying out.
- Bedazzling rhinestones in assorted sizes and colors – smaller beads for details, bigger beads for covering larger areas.
The Process
Each kid picked their favorite book (they tried to stick to a similar color scheme so we didn’t have to buy as many bead packs). To decorate, they dabbed a little glue on a section of the cover, then used the Diamond Dotz pen to place beads on top.
The fine-tip glue applicator worked perfectly for detailed areas like lettering, while larger beads filled in the big sections. Slowly but surely, plain covers transformed into sparkly, textured works of art.
The Results
By the end of the night, the books looked incredible—each one unique, colorful, and totally personalized. It was such a fun activity that combined creativity, conversation, and a whole lot of sparkle.
This definitely won’t be our last bedazzle-and-chat night!
