I would love to have a go at decorating my last years jacket to give it a new look
Would love to use the bling to experiment with some wall art and would also be great on my daughter’s jazz dance costumes.
I would have hours of fun with my wee daughter who just loves bling, she fancys herself as a bit of a fashionesta! Even though she is only six and half, she wants to bling her jeans, shoes, jackets, hair bands, even her mirrors, she said if she could do that she would look beutiful and when Mum gets fit she will do the same for me and I will look beutiful too, out of the mouths of babes, gosh I love my daughter 🙂
I love wearing ponytails and I would attach bling to Hairclips or all shapes and sizes. I think they would look absolutely fabulous on my shoes and sandels too!
i would let the girls go ahead and bling their tee shirts, shorts and bags…great stuff
Blings, rhinestones and tiny shining decorations are a must in 2013, and I’ve already in mind – and started making some, of course! – new ideas for my creations, such as hats, necklaces, cowls, etc., so I would be extremely glad to use Crystal R Us on mine… that would be a sort of fairy tale! 😉 merry glittering Christmas and the best New Year you’ve ever had! 😉
I have two teenage granddaughters who would love to decorate their jeans, T shirts, jackets as well as anything else they could lay their hands on. The bling would be wonderful for them.
I would used them on the clothes I make for my Grand daughter and me….what girls don’t love bring
I’d love to win these to make some gorgeous cushions for my freshly painted bedroom.
I’ve got so many pairs of plain shoes that i’d love to add a touch of “bling” to – I can’t afford new shoes at the moment so an instant update of my old ones would be just perfect!
I know my wife would like to bling up the rather boring case we have just bought for the laptop we share 🙂
I would just love to use this gift not only on a quilt I am thinking of, but on some clothes that I am making at the moment – some frocks that really do need some “bling” added!!
There are SO many things that i’d like to jazz up – top of my list would be a couple of canvas bags and a journal that I have. I’d then surprise my girlfriend with them – she LOVES any gift I give her thats homemade.
My daughter would love these. She would get hours of entertainment blinging up her dolls cloths!
I would use this fabulous bling prize to turn my rather plain lounge light shade into a chandelier that would be worthy of hanging in a mansion
I would love to have this bling. How fun would that be? My instant thought was my Levi’s and my denim jacket – but I have a funny feeling my wee 5 year old granddaughter would probably make off with it. What a trip that child is! 😉
I would probably notice ALL manner of things to BLING if I won this amazing prize. There would be no end to it – but I would probably start with Christmas linen, moving on to items of clothing that have lost their lustre – spectacle frames/sunglasses (YES) and definitely shoes! It would be so much fun – nothing would be safe – even the beekeeper (aka husband) would have to watch out for me – sparkly overalls??? hmmmm….
I would use these on a bag,maybe even some hairbands. Though I think my daughters would probably have first preference.
Happy days.

What a giant kit! I’d try it on a bag and some shoes. Thanks for such a nice giveaway!
I would decorate two different things. First, some tote bags with picture panels to highlight the picture. Second, some ornament that are made from fabric and need good trim.
I use them on my fake leather jacket! I love the look! & then maybe on my handbag too! 🙂 <3 this look!
My favourite handbag has passed its best – a makeover is in order!
What an amazing selection! I would use the bling to recycle all my plain black dresses and tops into evening and going out clothes.
So many items I wont throw out as I love, but Id love to glam up an old faithful cardy with this. Its fab!
It would definetly be on the bag I’ve been trying to make. would be the perfect excuse to finally start it!
My daughter would jazz up her jeans with them and if she leaves any i would make a very sparkly outfit for my dog Pixie.
Oh, cool! I would use the rhinestones to jazz up my jackets. Sequins I would use fr some tops for me and my friends’ kids. I would also use some of the bling to highlight my quilting projects intended as gifts. Oh, I do hope I win!!
definitely would make some great t-shirts etc for my newly turned 11 year old daughter and on the odd bag for me. these are so cool.
I would love to spend some time in the coming year to make some hand made books using my hand woven fabric and other textiles. It would be fantastic to use some of this wonderful bling to embellish the pages and especially the covers. Here’s hoping!
I would love to share all that Bling with my 3 arty friends. Together we would Bling our world!
I’d decorate my babies clothes – which I have just learnt to sew 🙂
I would use most to decorate the bags I make for the Christmas Child charity shoeboxes, and a few to decorate my summer tops. Thank you for the giveaway.
I would use them to “bling up” my jackets! I love sparkly!

I would decorate an old leather jacket and a red bag. I love wearing unique clothes and complemments.
I have been looking for a fancy pair of 3/4 leggings like forever, I can only ever find ones that I dont like so therefore I would use these to give my leggings/tights the bling look that is totally me a one in a kind pair
I love the look of the black leather jacket so would have a go at doing something similar, would also like to see if it would work on a plain cardigan. Can imagine decorating one for me and another for my little girl who adores clothes and the whole ‘bling’ look, hmm wonder where she gets that from ha ha.
What a lovely giveaway! I would use them to decorate a plain clutch bag I have and a leather strap bangle.
I would use them to decorate clothes for a grand daughter and grand son!
THANK YOU for doing the give-away!
My stethescope!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy and proud! 🙂
