Hey everyone,
I'm planning on stoning a pair of skating tights (black ones - mondor - you wear on their own, not the ones you wear with a dress) as well as a dress. I've been doing some research on the whole thing and I've bought myself a sh*t ton of swarovski crystals and a hot fix gun, but I'm sure there are some of you with some great knowledge gained through trying that you could share. So, is there anything I should avoid? Any good tips you've figured out? Any size of crystal that worked best?
I'm not really a crafty person so I'm sure this will be an... interesting... undertaking :P Actually, I'm not quite sure why I thought this was a good idea in the first place! ??? I really could use any help I can get.
Soon, soon you will be a svarwovskis zombie.

Right after I finish stoning this dress.
Why yes, I did just see World War Z.

lol, yes, I will be a swarovski zombie. But more so, I'm just cheap :P
It was funny though... me and a friend went to watch worlds and we could tell when a flight was about to start because we could see ALL THE SPARKLE!!!! heading through the tunnel to the ice.
My goal isn't that level of sparkle. :o Just something to jazz up a plain pair of pants and a plain dress.

That would make a great scene in a movie.
I'll get to work on the screen play :P
The greatest tip I got was to use a crayon to pick up stones. It made the process really fast and easy. I was advised that 20ss and 30ss are the best sizes to use. I used 20ss because I prefer the look of a smaller stone, at least up close. The hardest thing for me by far was deciding where to put the stones. I got a lot of helpful tips on this from members of this forum here: http://skatingforums.com/index.php?topic=4446.msg48313
