Who was the crafty one who made the 'bride' hat....

You mentioned you put on the gemstones with backings....I got the rhinestones and the settings, but not sure how to close them....tweezers? pliers? I am making 'newlywed' tanks and thongs for my best friends shower, but not sure how tog et these settings to close and secure the stone...

Please let me know!

I always thought you needed some sort of tool, or machine like the beadazzler. I could be wrong though. Also, for the thongs, you might be better off glueing the rhinestones on with some fabric glue. Those backings can get scratchy sometimes.

Well, I was planning to glue on the thins to the thongs because I think they would be uncomfortable..but am going to try to 'set' them onto the tank.....I have no be-dazzler....I hope I can do it some way withouth having that....

you can do it with tweezers, but rhinestone setter makes it much easier. They sell them at Michael's- they are not expensive. $6 maybe...

I made it already! i just used a pair of flat scissors I have, put you can use anything hard..plyers, tweezers. You just need to press the prongs down on the stone. It is very bendable metal. VERY EASY!!!!
