How Do You Apply Bling to Glasses?
Glasses are not only necessary for many people who have vision problems, but also are a great accessory. Glasses are trendy and can add a touch of style and quirkiness to any outfit. While designer glasses are expensive, you can make any pair of glasses look unique and expensive with rhinestone, which can be purchased at most craft stores, and a few other basic household supplies.

1
Place your piece of cardboard on a flat surface. This will protect the surface from getting glue on it.
-
2
Squirt a generous drop of tacky glue onto the piece of cardboard. If you are using a glue gun, simply plug the device in and wait for it to heat up.

3
Pour your package of rhinestones onto the cardboard. If you are using tacky glue, make sure none of the rhinestones go into the drop of glue.
-
4
Pick up one of the rhinestones using the tweezers and, with your other hand, dip one end of the wooden dowel into the drop of glue and spread a thin layer on the back of the rhinestone. If you are using a glue gun, squirt a small drop of glue from the gun onto the back of the rhinestone.

5
Place the rhinestone somewhere around the lens of the glasses. Make sure to do this step quickly before the glue on the back of the rhinestone dries.
-
6
Repeat Step 5 until all around the lenses of the glasses are filled with rhinestones. You can also continue gluing rhinestones along the arms of the glasses for an even more "bling-y" look.
