4/30 (7:25p - 8:25p) Bobbi’s Rhinestoning Basics for Babes w/ Bobbi Marie 

Bobbi Marie’s been strutting and singing across Les Bois for almost 15 years, and she’s been known to embellish a little. Now she’s cracking open the shiny rhinestone vault and giving you a peek at the essentials: the glues and tools that hold up, the stones that twinkle and the art of knowing where to add sparkle so your costumes hit the light just right. 

You’ll also get a look at how unconventional materials, thrift‑store finds and “you used that?” items can turn into one‑of‑a‑kind embellishments that transform your pieces into wearable art. 

By the end, you’ll know what works, what to skip, and a few tips and tricks that can take pretty much anything from drab to DRAMA and blah to BRAVA! 

So c’mon! Let’s get rhinestoned.
