Custom Gadget and Accessory Embellishment

A Look for Every Customer

For customers that want to add some flash to their tech, create glitzy confections with large rhinestones. Mix in some pearl rhinestones to create an up-to-the-minute pearlcore look. Cupchain is another terrific element for adding bits of bling and can be glued or sewn on depending on the material. For those who want a sweet, hand-crafted look, leather flowers, shell or wood components fit the bill. Cabochons and decorative settings impart a vintage vibe, while undrilled items, like guitar picks, can add to the feeling of a truly custom piece.

Watch Embellishment

Creating custom bands for your Apple Watch® is a fantastic way to personalize and elevate your wearable tech. By using compatible components that link the band securely to the watch and incorporating cords or beads, you can craft unique, stylish bands that reflect your individual taste. For a simple yet sophisticated look, consider using high-quality cord such as leather or nylon to create a durable and chic strap. For added flair, weave in beads—be they sparkling crystals, vibrant gemstones, or elegant pearls—to infuse color and texture into your design.

Consider enhancing your watchband with beaded bands—an on-trend addition that aligns perfectly with the bracelet stacking craze. These versatile pieces add a touch of personality and flair to your watch, and they’re simple to create and easy to swap out whenever you’re ready for a fresh look.

Tools like the Tweezer-Vac™, Crystal Katana or a rhinestone positioner like Embellie Gellie™ help you position hard-to-hold pieces. These are particularly useful when dealing with small and awkward surfaces, like a set of earbuds or a phone grip.

When embellishing fabric or leather, beads can be directly sewn onto the top layer of soft surfaces or onto another piece of fabric and then attached as a patch. A monofilament thread, like FireLine®, is a good option due to its strength and abrasion resistance. A sturdy milliners needle is perfect for bead embroidery and off-loom designs.

When offering custom tech designs, you don't have to stock a lot of potentially expensive cases that could become redundant after some time. Instead, have a portfolio with good photographs of your designs and the materials available to help your customer choose their style. They can then purchase the case that fits their device and have you customize it with their chosen embellishments.
