*Helpful hints on the crystallization process
  • You don’t have to use a heat wand some people have used an iron or hair straighter, but I recommend a heat/hot wand b/c it’s easier to maneuver.
  • Crystals are more easy to manipulate w/ tweezers
  • Make sure you allow your heat/hot wand to preheat before using, you want it hot
  • 1st place a dab of glue on the crystal bottom (a toothpick works best) and place crystal where you want it adhered, then hold the heat/hot wand over the crystal for 8-10 seconds
  • Put a dab of glue on the back of the crystal and place it where it needs to go. Do this w/ all the crystals then use the heat wand and hold it over each crystal for 8-10 seconds and use tweezers or something to press the crystal down lightly to make sure it's securely fastened. Be careful the crystal will be HOT!
