Your blueprint, bedazzled. Dazzl plans your rhinestone project before a single stone goes down. Photograph the thing you're bedazzling, measure it right on the photo with a card or coin for scale, and Dazzl works out exactly how many stones fit in the correct size, in your colors, with any pattern. HOW IT WORKS • Snap it: photograph your phone case, lip balm lid, jacket, whatever. • Measure it: line up any bank card, a quarter, or a ruler in the shot so Dazzl can read real-world size from the photo. • Pick your stones: true-size preview calibrated to your screen, so an SS20 stone on the screen is an SS20 stone in your hand. • Pick a design: choose from built-in patterns — stripes, hearts, plaid, zigzag, houndstooth, argyle, stars and friends — or turn any picture into stones with live zoom, crop, and color punch-up. • Get the plan: a faceted-gem mockup, a printable row-by-row chart, and a shopping list of exactly how many stones to buy in each color. • Follow along: stone-by-stone mode keeps your place mid-project. MADE FOR CRAFTERS Save your favorite patterns to your library. Finished projects live on your home screen like journal entries. Colors are yours to mix. Build a custom palette once, use it everywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your phone. No account, no uploads, no analytics. Your photos never leave your device. Pay once, sparkle forever.
