We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 uses for one of our best selling crystals: the Swarovski Rose Flat Back. So without further ado, let’s get creative…

1. Last season’s clothing – Without doubt the top of our list of uses for the Swarovski Flat Back is to apply to clothing. And why not spice-up last season’s wardrobe? Just when you thought you’d never wear it again, suddenly as if by Swarovski magic, you’ve got yourself a whole new sparkly garment ready for the weekend.

2. Gadgets – Why not pimp your headphones, mobile phone, MP3 player, DVD player, or anything else gadgety that would benefit from some much needed bling?

3. Homeware – This might sound like one for your mum, but adding Swarovski Rose crystals to curtains, picture frames, tiles, or even wallpaper can make a huge difference to your home and your enjoyment of it. So get sparkly with your interior.

4. Cards – Can you think of a better way to say ‘I Love You’ than a card embellished with a Swarovski Rose Flat Back? We can’t. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, or even birthdays and Christmas.

5. Accessories – It’s not just clothes that get snazzier with Swarovski; apply crystals to accessories such as bags or shoes to get the full-on dazzling effect.

6. Bottles – What a way to spice-up a bottle of your favourite tipple. Take a look at some of the crystals we supplied Bombay Sapphire with last year for their advertising campaign, and the Russian Standard limited edition bottle,  or even the trendy Fracas de Robert Piguet perfume bottle.

7. Promo products – USB sticks, stationery, mugs – you name it, all can be personalised for your business as a way of getting your name out there. But how to stand out from the crowd? Swarovski Flat Back Crystals is how. Make sure your business shines through by adding some much needed glimmer to your promo products.

8.Christmas baubles – Had enough of tacky glitter at Christmas? How about a little bit of real Swarovski sparkle on your baubles instead? Take a look at Bombki Baubles to see what’s possible.

9. Art projects – Gemstone Creative have some great examples of how Swarovski crystals can be used in creating original artworks, paintings and sculptures.

10. Car interiors – Here’s something you may not have thought of; how about kitting out your wheels with some Swarovski? That’s what Kahn has done on its Range Rover, in Huston, Texas, which now dons an incredibly swanky Swarovski clock on the dashboard.
