About
This isn't your average book club meeting. We're swapping wine for rhinestones and giving our favorite reads a glow-up. In this fun and hands-on tutorial, you'll learn how to decorate any book cover with rhinestone flatbacks. Whether it's a bestseller, a journal, or a notebook, you'll leave with something totally unique and totally sparkly. Bring your book, bring your friends, and let's make book night sparkle.
There are many glues that are great for blinging and our instructor has a favorite. We have been recommending Gem Tac and Aleene's® The Ultimate® Multi-Surface Adhesive.
If you are a new blinger, we have an expert 101 class already available: How to Bling Anything with the Crystal Ninja for John Bead - Free Class For Michaels.
