What comes in a rhinestone starter kit?
A Crystal Craft Kit is a complete rhinestone starter kit with everything you need to be successful on your first project: Priceless Crystal flatbacks, glue and the tools to apply them. There's nothing else to buy or figure out first. Open the box and start decorating a tumbler, phone case, jacket, dance bag or anything else you want to make sparkle.
Our DIY rhinestone kits come with an applique, headpiece, lanyard, or bracelet. Although the applique kit comes with Swarovski crystals, the other kits leave the crystal choice to you.
Which Crystal Craft kit is right for your project?
Choose a single-color kit for scatter fills and layered designs, or a color-theme kit for honeycomb, grid and pattern work.

| Sizes | 12ss (3.0 mm), 16ss (3.9 mm), 20ss (4.7 mm) and 30ss (6.4 mm) | One size: 12ss (3.0 mm), 16ss (3.9 mm) or 20ss (4.7 mm) |

Why start with real crystal?
Your first project should sparkle. Priceless Crystal is Rhinestones Unlimited's own AAA-quality crystal, chosen for crafting. Each flatback is precision-cut and fully foiled on the back, so light enters the top, reflects off the foil and comes back out as sparkle. Consistent sizing within each pack keeps rows and honeycomb patterns lined up, which makes clean results easier for beginners. These are crystal flatbacks, not acrylic or resin.
How many rhinestones are in each kit?
| Kit | Standard | Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Single-color, mixed sizes | 2,304 | 4,032 |
| Color-theme, 12ss | 4,032 | 6,048 |
| Color-theme, 16ss | 2,880 | 4,320 |
| Color-theme, 20ss | 1,728 | 2,592 |
Tools that last beyond your first project
Every Crystal Craft Kit includes the Flip It, Pick It & Stick It tool kit: Aleene's Jewel-It glue (2 oz.), syringes with tips for precise glue dots, a magical tray that flips crystals right side up and a pick-up tool for placing them. The tray, syringes and pick-up tool are reusable and built for many projects, so your starter kit keeps working long after the first one. With heavy use, the glue is usually the only thing you'll need to restock.
Can you reorder the same colors?
Yes. Every pack in a Crystal Craft Kit is a stock Priceless Crystal color and size, shipped from our Minneapolis warehouse. If you run short partway through a project, order more of the exact same color and size.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get started with rhinestones?
You need crystals, a glue made for embellishing, a way to apply small dots of glue and a tool to pick up and place stones. A Crystal Craft Kit includes all of it.
Are Priceless Crystal rhinestones real crystal?
Yes. Priceless Crystal flatbacks are AAA-quality crystal, precision-cut and fully foiled, not acrylic or resin.
What's the difference between Standard and Deluxe kits?
Standard kits include four packs of crystals and Deluxe kits include six. Single-color Deluxe kits add Crystal 12ss and 16ss; color-theme Deluxe kits add two more colors in the same size.
What size rhinestones are best for honeycomb or grid designs?
Use one size throughout so rows line up evenly. Our color-theme kits come in a single size (12ss, 16ss or 20ss) for exactly this reason.
Can I buy more of the colors in my kit?
Yes. Every kit color is available by the pack, so you can finish or repeat a project in the same shade.
Do the bracelet, appliqué and lanyard kits include crystals?
No. Those project kits include everything except the crystals, so you can choose your own colors and sizes.
