I keep burning myself and it dries too quickly.

How big are the crystals? Glue dots are amazing! I swear by them for crafty things

Tacky Glue
Comes in a bronze colored bottle. You can get it at any craft store.

Goes on white, dries clear.
Use an old pair of tweezers to hold the crystals then use a toothpick to apply the glue to the back of the crystal.

I wouldnt recommend hot glue....I hate those strings that go everywhere and you can burn yourself!

I used one of those glue/tape rollers for some rhinestones. Kind of a pain but stuck it right to the rhinestone....no mess....and put right on the invitation! Also there was no glue showing on the invitation.

Just an FYI...I just got a beautiful DIY STD and I can see the glue where the rhinestones are. (Not a big deal and no one else would notice but I am very detail oriented!)
