Have you got tired looking clothes in your wardrobe that you're thinking of throwing away? Why not customise them and give them a new lease of life with some Diamantés? In this blog I am going to tell you all about the products we have and what they can be used for. Here at Calico Laine we have a wide variety of stones to cater to your every whim, whether you want a little bit of sparkle or a whole lot of dazzle you can guarantee we have what you need. Whether it be stick on sew on glue on or clip on we have something for everyone.
Firstly for a low cost option we have Acrylic Jewels ranging in price from only £2.99 in a variety of sizes and colours. All it takes is a little glue and away you go!
We also have some beautiful Diamanté Accessories from only £2.99 each for the more subtle added sparkle,for example why not put them on the shoulders of that little black dress and transform it? No one will ever know you have worn it before. Or maybe for a bit more of an impact try one of our Diamanté Buckles, all you do is loop them through the fabric, brightens up a garment in no time. We also have some outstandingly beautiful brooches if you want to make a dramatic statement.
One of my favourite products that we have are the Diamanté Stick ons, they are extremely versatile so for example you can customise your mobile phone and at only £1.79 for 100 gems how can you refuse?
Got an old cardigan lying around? Try some of our dazzling Diamanté Buttons,from only £1.29 each they will breathe new life into any outfit.
One of our best selling Diamanté products here at Calico Laine are our Glass Crystal Stones, from £8.99 for a bag of 100 stones you can't afford not to try them. Such fantastic quality no one will know they aren't real diamonds. You can add them to pretty much anything. Brighten up that old handbag, everyone will think it's designer! Belts are big this season so why not try a Diamanté encrusted one? You will look a million dollars. My personal favourite is decorating shoes with them, I recently went to a fancy dress party as Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz and I couldn't find a nice inexpensive pair of ruby slippers anywhere, so I found a pair of cheap red shoes and covered them in Clear Crystal Stones and a fraction of the cost and they looked fantastic!
If you dont have the time to individually sew or glue on Diamantés we also have them on a trim, perfect for edging the garments of your choice, you can put an edging around a neckline or hemline for example to really brighten up a article.
Finally, the Diamantés we all know about The Swarovski!! From only £3.75 a bag in a variety of sizes and colours they really are the créme de la créme of Crystals. Unbelievably beautiful, they sparkle and shine like no other crystals. There is nothing you can't use them for. Be it to brighten up a bag, belt, dress, shoes, or even that most important dress of all...your wedding dress these are the stones you need.
