Shahana over at the Craftliciouss blog graciously let me link to a tutorial just for bling lovers!  Her rhinestone flowers tutorial (Update : link no longer available) shows you the simple wiring techniques for a really pretty decorative vaseful.

However, my other suggestions include making gorgeous brooches or necklace  focals.  If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might also remember the stunning wired Swarovski flower bracelet tutorial.


If you are really ambitious, make a gorgeous and unique bridal bouquet along the lines of  the vintage brooch bridal bouquet design I wrote about before.

Did you notice the flower petals are two-holed?  If you'd like to make this with Swarovski crystals, they do have the Swarovski 3230 two hole faceted pear shape or the 3223 two holed Navette shape shown below. Via
