What You’ll Need
You can use supplies you have at home or make life easier with our all-in-one Rhinestone Vase Kit—it includes everything you need to get started.
Supplies List:
Glass vase (cylinder, bud, square, or any shape you love)
Flat-back rhinestones (round, square, or even teardrop shapes)
Strong adhesive (E6000, Beacon Gem-Tac, or hot glue)
Tweezers or wax pencil for placement
Cotton swabs or paper towels for cleanup
Optional: painter’s tape or a ruler for precision
Blinggrl Tip: Dollar store vases work great—and they look like high-end decor once you add rhinestones!
Step 1: Clean and Prep Your Vase
Use a cloth and rubbing alcohol or soap and water to clean the surface of the vase. Make sure it’s completely dry before starting—any oils or dust can prevent your rhinestones from sticking.
🔧 Optional: For better glue adhesion, lightly scuff the glass with fine-grit sandpaper (especially if you’re doing full coverage).
Step 2: Plan Your Design
This is where the fun begins! Think about what kind of vibe you want—elegant, bold, fun, or minimalist?
Design Ideas:
Bling Band: Add one or more rows of rhinestones around the top, bottom, or center like a belt.
Vertical Stripes: Add columns of rhinestones all the way around the vase.
All-Over Glam: Go for full coverage and turn the whole vase into a glittering mosaic.
Ombre Effect: Use different sizes or shades of rhinestones for a fading sparkle.
Initial or Monogram: Personalize it with a letter or number (great for birthdays or weddings).
Pro Tip: Use painter’s tape or pencil marks to keep your lines straight.
Step 3: Glue and Place Rhinestones
Work in small sections, applying glue either directly to the vase or to the back of each rhinestone. Place rhinestones one at a time using tweezers or a wax pencil. Press gently but firmly.
Don’t rush:
Too much glue = messy oozing.
Too little glue = stones won’t stick.
Take breaks between rows to let things dry and stay aligned.
Working on a rounded vase? Lay it on a folded towel to prevent it from rolling while you work.
Step 4: Build Out the Design
Continue placing stones according to your pattern. Step back often to check for symmetry and spacing.
Creative twists:
Alternate rhinestone colors for a checkerboard or zigzag effect.
Use pearls, metallic studs, or tiny beads as accents.
Mix matte and shiny stones for added dimension.
Blinggrl Tip: Not all rhinestones have to match. Mixing shapes (like rounds and squares) adds interest!
Step 5: Let It Dry and Seal
Allow your rhinestone vase to dry completely—at least 24 hours for most glues. Once it’s set, you can optionally seal it with a clear acrylic spray for extra protection and shine.
Now it’s ready to shine as a:
Centerpiece with flowers
Candle holder
Candy jar
Makeup brush holder
Gift filled with treats or bath goodies
