Girls who made rhinestone BM tee- what glue did you use, and do you have pics?

I just went to the store and bought some rhinestones to make BM tanks that say 'bridesmaid' (duh! ha) anyway, I was just wondering-
#1 what glue did you use
#2 what kind of rhinestones did you use- brand- and where did you buy them?

If anyone could estimate how many bags I would need for seven tanks, that would be great!

Ha! If I could just go back 10 years and see that infomercial again! good times....

they probably still sell that though in the craft stores, I am sure.

thanks!

I'm gonna guess RONCO.com. LOL!!! Just kidding.

I venture to say that it would probably be cheaper for you to have the t shirts made than to make them yourself. Rhinestones can be very expensive. It is also a very tedious process that would drive me nuts....and I used to teach art!!!

'Gem Tac' is excellent glue.

Thanks- my mom just told me about AC Moore, I was afriad to go there because I know I will spend more money!! But, now I have a 'real' reason to go and buy!

I bought at bag at Joann's, but it looks like there are only about 30-40 in there....

Ace Handicraft in Hempstead (Hempstead Turnpike I think) has the Swarovski crystals. Tell them you need to glue them on a shirt and they will tell you what glue is best. I would say make one and see how it comes out..count them up and then go out and buy the rest.
