3. How to Make Swarovski Crystal Converse
Are you ready for some shimmering DIY converse makeover project? These Swarovski crystal converse are going to become your favorite DIY project ever. Here is what you will need for your project:
- Swarovski flat back rhinestones
- Jewel setter
- Sandpaper
- Adhesive
- Piece of cotton cloth
- Orange stick
- Rubbing alcohol
- Converse trainers or boots
The steps:
- First, prepare your sneakers. Take the sandpaper and give the rubber toe surface a good rub. When the surface is prepared, it can provide a much better platform for the adhesive to bond with.
Wipe the rubbery powder from the toe surface. - Using dust-free cotton cloth and rubbing alcohol, clean the surface of the toe. This way you will remove any grease, oil, or dust that could remain on the surface.
- When the alcohol dries, you can start adding the Swarovski crystals.
- Using the opposite end of the jewel setter apply enough adhesive to the toe surface of your sneakers.
- Start with a small surface so the adhesive doesn’t dry before the crystals are added.
- Take the wax bud of the jewel setter and pick up a crystal. Place the crystal on the converse toe surface.
- Press the crystal using the orange stick to firm it to the surface.
- Continue adding crystal the same way as you did with the first one.
- Repeat the procedure until you have no more uncovered surfaces.
- Once the crystals cover all the surface of the converse toe, your new shining DIY converse makeover is finished! Shine!
