1. First of all you must clean the surface of the phone to remove all dirt, oil, ect. using rubbing alcohol in small damp cotten.
This will make sure that a;; the rhinestones are set perfectly on the phone and maintain the stones in tact.
2. Remove the cap from the GemTac glue and run a needle through it down into the nozzle.
Unscrew the lid from the glue and remove the paper cap liner, then replace the cap.
3. Take the applicator stick and roll between fingers to produce a somewhat sharp point from the wax.
This technique will help in getting a pointee tip smaller stones.4. Dump your rhinestones into a small saucer.

How to create your own bling bling  with the use of rhinestones
You may wonder, how can I create my own piece of art? Well, it may look hard,
but it's as simple as simply choosing the type of stone you would like to use,
the size of the stone as well as the color of the stone. Remember this is your piece of art.
So you can mix colors or simply stick to one color.
With these stones you can also create little designs such as your initials or small flowers.
It's up to you what you want to do.
Just remember that the smaller you choose the stone the more it will take up.

Do not plan on using standard rim set and/or tiffany mounts to apply rhinestones to purchased belts or collars.
The leather is too thick and will cause the setting to fail before you have mounted the rhinestones or nail head.
The legs will bend and collapse, for they are intended for clothing, not heavy leather. Therefore, to produce these items,
you should plan on a lamination of very ligh-weight leather that is decorated to a heavier leather base. Barge Cement*
is ideal for the lamination process and is available in most shoe repair shops by the tube.
It is used as a contact adhesive and is very strong. Purchase very
light-weight leather at a leather shop or high-end fabric store,mark patterns on back,
pre size with chalk markings, and use whatever tool you want to mount rhinestones and nail heads.
The Brisk Setter does a good job here, the Bedazzler is not strong enough to work well.

If you insist on using the heavy weight leather, then you must use Rhinestones Rivets,
available with 30SS acrylic stones in silver settings only.
You will need a hole punch and rivet spreading device.
48SS rim-sets are available for heavy leather, have 2 legs, and are of steel with nickel plating. Again,
you will need a hole punch and a tool to curl the legs under.
These rims use 48SS rhinestones found in Flat Back Swarovski tables.
The 48SS rhinestones are available in crystal and crystal AB only. Colors may exist, but are from available stock only,
as Swarovski no longer produces this size in colors. If you are so equipped,you can edge stitch the
decorated light-weight leather to the base leather, but this will take a seriouse sewing machine,
not a ligh weight home version. If you plan on edge stitching the outer to the base leather,do NOT use glue,
as it will gum up the machine needle. If you want to use collars, then buy light-weight collars,
make sure there will be a backing nylon to the area you are working. You do not want prongs from rim sets
sticking out of the back of the collar...they will catch hair and the prongs can be bent relatively easily.
The heavy nylon collars I have seen are too thick to mount rhinestones with rims,
for the legs of even long-leg rims are not long enough to penetrate and bend over on back.
Can dislodge these rhinestones easily if they are not mounted very well. High-end belts are always
lined with leather. Therefore, you can purchase inexpensive belts and laminate your
decorated ligh-weight leather to them. I hope this has been helpful.
