Okay, might be a stupid question... but do you spray the whole letter w/ the glue, then stick the stones on? Doesn't it look all sticky around them? Or do you spray the back of the stones...

I did one area at a time, b/c the glue dries quickly and yes, it will get all sticky around.

I would spray about three/four inches at a time, and quickly put the stones on.

Ohhh okay gotcha. So if it gets sticky around, can you just wipe it off or windex it or something?

I wiped it off with my finger. I also had some flexibility with mine since I spray painted them. You can do a touch up if necessary. Definitely have a practice run on a piece of paper til you can get your aim and skill right.

I don't have a creative bone in me, but I'm good at copying!

I bought the letters from a vendor on ebay, and they were mirrors. So, I spray painted them gold, and then attached the sworski crystals, which I also bought on ebay with spray elmer's craft glue!

It's really easy and literally took me about twenty minutes in total to make.

Twin: Yes, it's my initial, C = Christine, R = Richard, and V = Viola (our married name)

Hollie: thanks for answering my twin

Jess: Yes, it's my new 'business' idea - now to see if I can launch it!
