At the peak of the early 2000s, you would see paparazzi pictures of Paris Hilton with her bedazzled flip phone. People, including the ones with the most influence, couldn’t stop adding sparkle to their accessories and items around their homes. If you didn’t have a Bedazzler yourself, your best friend most likely had one for you to borrow. It was a cultural wave of rhinestones and craft-making that I never thought would make a reappearance.
However, it’s 2026 and I’ve learned to not count anything out at this point. That being said, the bedazzle trend has returned and come back stronger than ever. Girls are starting to bedazzle their digital cameras, phone cases, and hair accessories, to name a few. I honestly love that this trend is coming back and foresee a rhinestone craft night with all my friends in the very near future.
Whether you want to host a bedazzling craft night or want to take the creative journey on your own, we’ve got you covered. Below are 12 top items to add some shimmer to.

Starting with a classic item that celebrities and girls all over the world have been bedazzling for years — that’s the phone case. Make your own design, geometric pattern, or fill the case with just one color. Your phone will become your new favorite accessory to carry in your purse.
2. Skin Care & Makeup Products

Add a bit of sparkle to your vanity or makeup counter by bedazzling your skin care and makeup products. Whether you choose to glue rhinestones to just the lid of the container or go all out by bedazzling the entire vessel, your morning routine will be instantly elevated.
3. Claw Clips
@thelongweekender I hosted my first galentines party over the weekend and we bedazzled hair clips 🎀✨ Let’s just say we are now trying to figure out what we are going to bedazzle next – it was so much fun! #bedazzled #bedazzledclawclip #girlsnight #galentinesday #galentinesparty ♬ Girlz Wanna Have Fun – MATTN & Stavros Martina & Kevin D
If you’re looking for a fun item to bedazzle for a girls’ craft night, claw clips are the perfect choice. They are just small enough for everyone to make their design in a reasonable amount of time and aren’t too meticulous to design. There are so many cute designs and ways to embellish each one as well.
4. Hair Brushes
@embellishedbyemilym isn’t this the vibiest brush ever?! #rhinestones #rhinestoning #smallbusiness #taylorswift #bedazzled #hairbrush #hair #toddlerhairstyles #etsy ♬ Lavender Haze – Taylor Swift
Hair brushes are just as easy a product to bedazzle for girls’ craft night as well. Covering the back of your brush with gorgeous rhinestones is one choice. You could even personalize it with some letter friendship beads as well. Add your name in the center first, then outline the border and fill in the rest with your rhinestone design.
5. Book Covers
@bijoubybecca How to bedazzle a book!! One of the most requested tutorials. DIY process: 1. Glue: find a glue compatible with your book. Whether that be hard copy, paper back, a book jacket etc. Glue is not one size fits all. It’s based on material compatibility. 2. Pick up tool: I like to use a wax pick pen Crystal Katana from @CrystalNinja 3. Stones: glass rhinestones sizes 20,16,12,6,3 . Also using transparent clear stones. Tips: avoid rhinestoning the crease so you can open the book. Bedazzled book for @Jenny Han x @Tatcha US ♬ original sound – Bedazzle Rhinestone Art✨Becca
Okay, we might just be totally obsessed with the idea of covering a book with rhinestones. Grab your favorite book—maybe one that’s on the top of your “favorites” list — and have fun bedazzling. Fair warning: this will take some time and patience, but the outcome is absolutely stunning. Plus, the book will make the perfect conversation piece on a bookshelf or coffee table.
6. Pill Bottle
@bijoubybecca ✨🤩TUTORIAL TIME. Very highly requested diy, bedazzled pill bottle. Have you done this project before? I’ve also seen many people add the name of the medication with Block letter style beads! How to: remove label, acetone to remove glue residue , (be careful with heat source and IPA& acetone, only use if you are truly done with the heat). Sand , wipe, lid work, baseline on bottle, work down in honeycomb pattern. Let dry 24 hours before handling. Disclaimer- some medications are sensitive to light to it might be advised to keep in its original bottle rather than buying a new one. Always keep your label in case of traveling, recalls, emergency etc. you can always rhinestone just the cap if you don’t want to remove the label.

It’s time to romanticize the dreaded task of taking your daily vitamins and medications. Bedazzle your pill bottle with colorful rhinestones that you’ll enjoy looking at. Start with the lid (it’s a bit easier), then add a line of rhinestones to the top of the pill bottle, and make your way down and around until the entirety of the bottle is covered.
7. Art Print
@bbsdesignss Such a relaxing activity 💅 #smallbusiness #glitterart #girlsnight #diamondpainting #DIYkits ♬ Nobody business – Onika
Another fun craft night idea to do with all your friends is bedazzling an art print. I recommend giving each friend a small art print to outline and fill in with their choice of rhinestones. It’ll be so fun seeing all the different pieces everyone ends up in. Not to mention, these sparkly prints will look gorgeous in a frame.
8. Mini Vasaline

9. Perfume Bottle
@bijoubybecca The whole time I was bedazzling the perfume I was thinking of this song 🎶 For Mikayla Nogueira x @Snif perfume collab ☀️ Sunset ombre (or rather “sunrise”) #onlysunshine #snifxmikayla ♬ Midnight Sun – Zara Larsson
Add some shimmer and shine to your vanity by bedazzling your perfume bottle (or bottles). As I mentioned in the skin care products above, you can choose to add rhinestones to the lid of the bottle or go all out and decorate the entire thing.Either would be so cute!

I’m constantly drawn to rhinestone-studded denim and have honestly never thought of doing it myself.

Okay, how adorable is this rhinestone Stanley? It definitely adds sparkle to your day and would certainly make me more motivated to drink water too. Select the rhinestones that color match your water bottle and start gluing. This craft will take some time, too, so be patient and watch it all come together.
12. Phone Charging Block
@mollylaauren #bedazzle #bedazzletok #bedazzlekit #gems #rhinestones ♬ strawberry chocolate – nanaacom
Every phone charger looks the same, and if it’s next to someone else’s, you may have a potential mix-up. However, when you bedazzle your charger, you’ll never have to wonder whose it is. Simply glue rhinestones around the box of thecharger. Make a fun design or keep it simple with one single color.
