Title: What size crystal/rhinestone do you use
Post by: hopskipjump on February 11, 2012, 04:49:08 PM

when you want the dress to catch light but not be noticeable as crystals.  To add a random sparkle but not be over the top?

How patient are you? I have scattered 100's of SS5 on dresses ... and it looks amazing.  But, I hotfix so it is very easy to use the tiny stones.  Don't know how it would work with glue.

Next week I will take a look - 5's might be hard -but with wax it might be okay since it doesn't have to be precise.  I have 15's but they look kind of big.

Matching the color to the material also makes them "stand out" a little less... still sparkly, but not quite as dramatic as with plain (or AB) crystal.

I used 20ss and can't imagine going much smaller...
