How to make colored crystals with crystal drops

Crystal glue is a kind of transparent glue, which can be used to make all kinds of crystal crafts. If you want to make colored crystals, you can do it by adding pigments or dyes. The following is a simple production process for your reference.

Material preparation:

1. Crystal drops

2. Transparent pigments or dyes

3. Crystal mold

4. Stir bar

5. Hot air gun or hair dryer

Protective gloves and glasses

Steps:

1. Prepare the required materials to ensure that the work area is clean and tidy.

2. Wear protective gloves and glasses to prevent glue from irritating skin and eyes.

3. Drop transparent pigment or dye into crystal drops. You can adjust the color depth according to your personal preference and mix it evenly.

4. Drop the colored crystal into the crystal mold. You can choose different shapes and sizes of molds according to your own needs.

5. Spread crystal glue evenly in the mold with a stirring rod to ensure that the glue fills the whole mold.

6. Use a hot air gun or a hair dryer to heat the crystal drops to speed up the drying process. Pay attention to keep a certain distance to avoid discoloration or deformation of the glue caused by overheating.

7. It usually takes several hours or a whole night to wait for the crystal drops to dry completely.

8. Take the dried crystal out of the mold and carefully cut off the excess glue.

9. Clean and trim the crystal edge to make it smoother and more beautiful.

10. After completion, colored crystals can be used as decorations, pendants or gifts.

It should be noted that crystal drops need to be kept dry and moisture-proof during the production process so as not to affect the production effect. In addition, be careful when using hot air gun or hair dryer to avoid scalding or damaging the glue. Finally, making crystal crafts requires patience and care. I hope you can enjoy this process and get satisfactory results.
