Hi this is Julie with Beadaholique.com and I'm going to show you how to do
this rhinestone barrette set
kit. This is an exclusive kit form Bedaaholique.com
and actually comes in four different color ways
I have a black crystal
pink crystal, a turquoise crystal, and this resort colored one
which is a coral and a turquoise and I'm going to show you how to do this because
the coral and the turquoise rhinestone cup chain shows up a little bit better
on screen than the crystal
In terms of the tools that I'm going to use
is a pair of cutters
so I'm going to have that
and then I just need a little scrap piece of wire, toothpick and a Post-it
pad to put my glue on
what you get in the kit is four barrettes clips
I'll show you how they work
spring action
so they're really great at holding the hair. You get four of them. You're going
to get a foot
of two different colors
of rhinestone cup chain in size 24pp
turquoise and coral
You get a tube of E6000 glue industrial strength glue which is
very very strong
You'll get all of this in the kit and a set of four different barrettes
I'll show you how to make them
For each barrette you're going to use thirteen
links of rhinestone cup chain in the two colors. You're going to count
one, two
three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen
and always count twice cut once so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen
and just cut the metal bridge between the two cup chain links
snip it with your cutters
do the same for the coral
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
and I seriously do count twice everytime
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen
again cut
that bridge
now to glue it onto your barrette
you'll see that there's actually two grooves in the barrette
you want your chain to
actually sit
in those grooves
and line up against the edge and that's gonna then stripe all the way across
so we're gonna take some glue
put it down on a little scratch piece of paper
and with this bottle of glue you'll see it's actually been sealed. To puncture
that seal there's a little point in the tip of the
cap
and it actually punctures it and
this glue dries really quickly so you don't put too much glue down at once
take our applicator
run a line of glue
all the way from one end of the barrette
the other actually in that groove
make sure you have glue on the ends
take your rhinestone cup chain. You'll notice that you can either squish it out
or make it long. You'll want it elongated
lay it right there
into your glue line
into your groove
press it down into place
now repeat the process
lay your coral chain
into the glue
now at this point
the glue is not fully dry
so you can still move both chains around. You want to line up
the two chains
so you'd want the
two rhinestones
to be even with each other all the way down
there you go
and press into place
and I like to also go like this just to make sure that they're pretty even on
that barrette
we've completed one
you're going to want to let this dry overnight just because you are going to be putting it in
your hair. You're going to be touching the rhinestone, applying some
pressure so let that fully dry overnight
now in each set and here's the finished
rhinestone barrette set. You'll see that I was able to make
one that's completely turquoise
one that's completely coral
and two that are striped and that is all with the ingredients in this complete kit
you'll just repeat the process that you used to make this barrette here to make your
other three barrettes in your set and this is what you'll end up with
you can find this exclusive Beadaholique.com jewelry kit
