Super trendy and sparkly; made easy!
I have been wanting to do this for a long time, so I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and found a good substitute for bath salt (because I might be allergic or have an allergic reaction to it) and that is Sea salt!
I tried it out and I made these beauties above!
And when I wore them On my “test trial” I got no strange looks and I even got compliments. This is a perfect and cheap craft that will make a great gift!

Step 2
Use your glue gun to squirt the glue into the shape you want, then pour your sea salt on the shape, make sure that it sticks into the glue.
*warning: you may get burned if your not careful enough. I used my fingers to lightly press the salt into the glue, however you can use a popsicle stick to do so but then you risk messing up the shape or the salt crystals.
But just in case, keep a glass of water near by so that if you do get burned, you can stick your fingers in it quickly and ease the pain and prevent blistering or red marks -
Step 5
Painting:
-if your using a non sparkly color first, paint it on and then once that’s dry or semi dry paint a shimmery nail polish on top. Then once that’s dry, use a holographic/ iridescent/ sparkly nail polish on top of that.-If you are using a sparkly/ iridescent color already, paint at least two coats then when it’s dry or semi dry, use the holographic/ sparkly nail polish on top so that it has extra shine.
-or if you want a clear Quartz look just pain the holographic/ sparkly nail polish on.

Step 6
If you want it to look like it has a metal base paint the base of the crystals a nice metallic color, like gold, silver, or black (depending on what color of findings you will use.)
