Rhinestone chains are a fantastic way to add sparkle and elegance to any DIY project! At STKRM, we have rhinestone chains in a variety of colours, sizes and settings, making them versatile enough to suit many different projects. Whether you are looking to customise your wardrobe, create statement jewellery, or add some sparkle to your home decor, rhinestone chains can be a beautiful addition. Below are some inspiring project ideas to get you started on your creative journey with rhinestone chains.
4794 Decorative Rhinestone Chain / 5980 Decorative Rhinestone Chain
Use rhinestone chain to add sparkle along the seams, pocket edges, or even to create custom patterns on the back of your jacket. Simply use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach the chain to your chosen areas. This is a fantastic way to refresh an old jacket or give a basic denim piece a couture and unique look.
Tip: For a western look, combine rhinestone chain with fringe, studs, or embroidered patches. Try our 4794 Decorative Rhinestone Chain for a special jacket design.
Rhinestone chain is a great way to make a unique sparkling belt this season, perfect for the Christmas and party season.
Ideas: You can customise an existing belt by glueing on some of our rhinestone chain. Another idea is to create a belt out of the rhinestone chain and add a clasp fastening and ring to the end; this will create a delicate and sparkling rhinestone chain belt design. Try our beautiful 5980 Decorative Rhinestone Chain.
0001 Decorative Rhinestone Chain / HBC1028 Pearl/Crystal Rhinestone Chain
Transform plain shoes into eye-catching statement pieces. You can embellish the heels, straps, or sides of your shoes with rhinestone chains. This works well on heels, flats, and even trainers. For more durability, use a strong adhesive meant for shoe embellishments, and make sure to let it dry fully before wearing. Try adding some 0001 Decorative Rhinestone Chain to add some sparkle to your shoe design.
Idea: Create an ombre effect by layering chains in assorted colours or sizes.
Add a touch of vintage glamour to hair accessories with rhinestone chain. Wrap rhinestone chain around a headband or hot glue it to hairpins and clips. These sparkling hair accessories can be worn for special occasions like weddings or Christmas parties, or just to add a little something extra to an everyday look.
Tip: If you are using a headband, make sure to secure the ends of the chain well so it does not snag in your hair. Try adding our HBC1028 Pearl/Crystal Rhinestone Chain to your headband design to create a unique hair accessory.
HBC1027 Pearl/Crystal Rhinestone Chain / HBC1107 Silver/Crystal Rhinestone Chain
Rhinestone chains can easily be turned into stunning necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. For a quick project, attach a lobster clasp to each end of a rhinestone chain, and you have a simple, sparkling bracelet or choker. For earrings, cut the chain into shorter lengths and attach them to earring hooks for a cascading look. You can also add charms or other beads for a more customised look.
Tip: Consider mixing rhinestone chains with other textures like leather cords or pearls for a unique layered effect. Our HBC1027 Pearl/Crystal Rhinestone Chain can be highly effective to create a unique jewellery piece.
Give a plain picture frame an upgrade with rhinestone chain. You can glue the chain around the edges of the frame or create a border within the frame itself. This is an effortless way to add a touch of elegance to home décor and can make a lovely gift.
Idea: Create a mosaic effect by cutting the chain into small sections and arranging them in a pattern around the frame. Create the perfect picture frame with our HBC1107 Silver/Crystal Rhinestone Chain.

Tip: You can reuse these decorated boxes for storage after the gift is opened, keeping the rhinestone embellishments as a decorative element.
