Blingin' Headphones: The Beginning

 

Well, I've started to bling my headphones. It's actually really easy, you just need to have patience.

Materials:

• 1 pair of big headphones
• At least 700 Swarovski Crystals, size 16ss, 3.4mm (I only had 400 to start with and I needed to order more)
• Hooked tweasers
• A peice of paper
• Gem-Tac Permanent Adhesive
• Head form (easy to keep headphones in a position you can glue on)

I bought myself a Styrofoam head form to place my headphones on and got out a peice of paper as a table protector and a place to squeeze glue onto. I spread out the Swarovski crytals one pack at a time and used a hook tweaser to pick up the crystal, dunk it in glue I placed on the paper, and then stick it onto the headphone. You could bling anything with this technique. All you really need that is incredibly important is patience. I watched a TV series (Mad Men for the 2nd time) while gluing. It's mindless work, but takes a long time. You also really need to make sure you have enough crystals. I've blinged quite a bit, but I've run out of crystals and had to order more. Ebay is great!

The following are some photos to show my progress.
