Blingette started with one bedazzled graduation cap, three trips to the craft store, and the realization that nobody online agreed on anything — not the glue, not the stone size, not even how many rhinestones a cap actually takes.
So we became the site we couldn't find. Every guide here runs on real numbers: stone counts you can order against, manufacturer-sourced cure times, and the honest version of what survives the washing machine. When we haven't verified something, we say so.
What you'll find here
- Step-by-step guides for every project worth doing — shirts, grad caps, tumblers and beyond.
- The Rhinestone Calculator, which answers the question every project starts with: how many stones do I actually need?
- Soon: curated Blingette kits — the exact stones, glue and tools our guides are written around, bundled and tested.
Say hi
We're building this in public and the best ideas come from readers. Spotted an error, disagree with a stone count, bedazzled something weird? We genuinely want to see it.
