Self Adhesive Rhinestone/Size Question HELP!!!

My questions are for the DIY savvy because I am not! LOL

1. Self Adhesive Rhinestones- Do you think these are good to put on an invitation? Or is it better to buy the swarovski and buy the glue to put them on. IF SO can someone reccomend the right type of glue for it?

2. Is 3MM too big for an inivitation? I am looking to place it in the i in my name and i in FH's.

Any help/advice would be SOO APPRECIATED!

I bought this clear glue from ac moore. It was pretty easy. I made my hubby help of course. It was a little time consuming but it was worth it in the end because i loved how they looked. It just kicked it up a notch!! Ha ha. BAM!

I used 3mm swarvoski rhinestones on my invite (pics in my album). Gluing them can be easy if you get the right glue. Check out michaels in the memory books section. There's a bottle there with a really thin, red top that is the perfect size for the rhinestones. I forgot the name of it, but if you FM i'll check when I get home. This glue is great because when it dries you can remove the excess without damaging your invite and it's still strong enough to hold the rhinestone.

The glue is Scotch Quick Dry

Your invite is beautiful! Where did you get the swarvoski rhinestones? I might add them to my invite that I also did myself. Thanks!!

Thanks Kelly! I checked out your invites too, and I love them!!! I ordered my rhinstones on ebay. I wish I could remember the seller, but my ebay account won't let me look that far back in the history.
