DIY: Rhinestone Encrusted Compact

On the 4th day of holiday DIY my true love gave to me, a rhinestone encrusted compact to help me check my teeth. And the cheesy rhymes continue! Day 4: Rhinestone Encrusted Compact

New Dress A Day - DIY - rhinestone encrusted compact

I LOVE this project so much because not only is it fun and glitzy, it really couldn't be easier to make!  It's something that you can craft on crafternoons with friends or something to give to all the office pals. And each one will run you less than $2 to make!

This DIY only takes three supplies...

1. E6000 glue

2. Rhinestones (I snagged these two packs at the Dollar Tree in NC!)

3. Compact (This came from the same Dollar Tree that I found the rhinestones - the idea actually came to me while getting some last-minute wrapping paper and bows!)

The first thing I did was play around with the stones to come up with a pattern to adhere to the compact.

Once I figured out what I wanted to put on top...

...I started to glue everything in place.  I dabbed the backs of the rhinestones with E6000...

...and placed them on top of the compact!

I let the compact completely dry for a few hours and was left with such a chic new mirror.
