Cute and simple. Good for use in future projects.

    Step 1

    Start off with plain gems. You know what I mean, the ones with the flat backs.

    Step 3

    Allow them to dry a bit between coats of polish. You don't have to let them dry completely, just enough so that you can lay another coat over the previous one. Notice my Lovedrug CD poking out from under the bed.
