Rhinestone Vinylmation

[lilbocktell]

Hi everyone,

I just went to Micheal's today and spent $25 on pink and red rhinestones. for my custom mickey! I am done with the head, but not the body yet. I really underestimated the amount of time this was going to take! Good thing I didn't work today hahaha ok so I will be posting pictures soon!

I am going to take off the rhinestones and just paint it like i wanted to in the beginning.

Next time, try putting them on a light-colored clear one ... the jeweled tones look very pretty with the "bling" ....

Maybe some pink or red paint under the rhinestones would help? possibly a glittery or metallic paint?

even just adding some metallic/glittery powdered eyeshadow to paint can help if you cant find a good pink glittery paint, I did for a few ornaments I did for friends a few years back just a little though too much would make it cakey. Or do what I do sometimes for decorating, put a clear or coloured paint and dust the over top when it's almost dry but still a bit tacky with superfine glitter dust, let it dry then clear coat spray overtop so it fixes the dust, then re-add your rhinestones. just a suggestion from experience of wanting a nice look to the gaps between rhinestones ;-)

It is coming out very good.
Can not wait until it all done!!!

[lilbocktell]

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I fell better now! Im going to try the pink glittery paint behind it and then see how it turns out! :)

That's what I was thinking. Some paint as a base coat. I'm not sure anyone could ever get the entire surface covered with rhinestones just because of the different shapes on contours.

It probably gets frustrating trying to put each one on there one at a time. lol
Good job for having the patients to try it!

[mickeyfan1999]

We all are wating for the final work, can not wait.

[lilbocktell]

I know I know! I will be finishing soon! I have to take all the jewels off then paint it then dust with glitter then put the rhinestones back on! I will start tonight and will post pictures of the process! hope it is done soon :)

[lilbocktell]

Oh my gosh, It is SOOOOOOOO difficult to take off these rhinestones!!! ahhhh I almost want to throw away this mickey and start over fresh, But I just can't do that so here I go to finish the rest!!! wish me luck lol

[mickeyfan1999]
