How to Make a Bedazzled Necklace
The Bedazzler is a tool that attaches rhinestones and beads to fabric to embellish them. The tool presses small spikes through the fabric to grab onto the underside of the fabric you work with. You can create a Bedazzled necklace out of fabric such as felt, leather or denim, and embellish the necklace on the Bedazzler using whatever combination of beads and stones you desire.
