Take the cover off your calculator.



Step Two:
Place the rhinestones in the order that you want them, and take a picture to remember what you did (use it for reference). 



Step Three: 
Dump Your rhinestones into a small container.



Step Four:
Start gluing them down, I don't have pictures of my technique but i will try and explain it. Start at the top and make a straight line of glue, beware E600 comes out really fast and you don't want a lot of glue on this step or it will cause un-necessary lumps, and place the rhinestones down moving right to left.
