Craft idea: basic Christmas cards in to Luxury Christmas cards using sparkling rhinestones

You do not need a high budget for this craft idea, just a few basic cheap Christmas cards and a handful of sparkling rhinestones will do the trick and it is so easy to do,

First of all purchase a pack of cheap Christmas cards, the quality of the cards does not matter as the end results will look great, you will also need to purchase a pack of flat back rhinestones, 1 gross of rhinestones should be plenty as this will be approximately 144 stones in total,

Now for the very easy steps which are so straight forward,
  1. Place one Christmas card on a flat surface.
  2. Decide where you would like to add Rhinestones to bring dazzling effects to your card, usually in the middle of snowflakes, on reindeer noses, on Christmas trees or on Santa's hat is a good choice.
  3. Pick up your rhinestone and apply glue to the back of it using a cotton bud and place in the desired location on the card.
  4. Repeat the process until you have covered all the locations you wanted to place them.
  5. Allow the glue to dry and then your ready.
From the simple steps above you have hand crafted a Christmas card into a Luxury looking Christmas card by using flat back rhinestones,

With the rhinestones you are spoilt for choice with size and colours, Amour Rocks stocks over 50 different coloured rhinestones in a wide range of sizes for all your craft needs,

And if you want to go one step better why not create your own hand crafted Christmas card designs by purchasing your own card and printing out your own designs on your very own home printer, it's simple and great fun to do, and you can add the rhinestones afterwards.

Here are a few examples of Rhinestones on Christmas cards,
