The tulle that we got for the dress is sparkly! Hmmm...That might work really well for the beads closer to the top where they are more clustered together!! Thanks for that idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711269 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:19:11 +0000 Mrsbells 711269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Well if you didnt mind all the work you can use a sparkly thread that will blend in with the beads </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711213 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:00:19 +0000 MrsBrewer 711213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I would be, but I'm concerned about possible seeing the string against the tulle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711210 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:59:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 711210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I'm sorry I'm horrible at describing/eleborating on the internet!! </p> <p>That pretty much did answer my question though. Basically the pattern that I'm using doesn't even say anything about a lining, so I'm just going off a couple tutorials that I've found online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711200 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:56:13 +0000 Mrsbells 711200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Are you willing to use sparkly beads that can be sewed on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711190 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:54:21 +0000 plantains 711190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E6000 is the best. Small rhinestones are fab for this, I think they look waaaay better. Tweezers are really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711176 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:50:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 711176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gonna suggest bedazzling ;)<br /> E6000 is my favorite product in the world, but you will lose some of those suckers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711087 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:31:14 +0000 Chillybear 711087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I'm not sure i fully understand what you're asking but i'll give it a shot. Once you piece the outer bodice together you can a) attach the lining at the top of the bodice (remember right sides together) b) attach the skirt to the Outer bodice.</p> <p>When you are ready to close the bodice. you will sandwich the skirt and tulle between the two wrong sides of the bodice and lining and hand stitch the lining to the front bodice seam allowance (so you wont see stitches on the good side)</p> <p>I hope that helps let me know if you need me to elaborate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-711045 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:20:54 +0000 MrsBrewer 711045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I wish I would have kept my bedazzler!!! aww man! LOL</p> <p>@Chillybear: We've been slacking on taking progress pictures. Right now we are just sewing the bodice together and getting the tulle gathered on top of the satin :-) I was going to ask you My special sewing freind....when do you do the lining exactly? Do you put it in once the bodice is all assembled and sewn together, or do you attach the lining right to the inside of the satin when you are actually putting it together??</p> <p>@MrsTiz: I'm just wondering if going the prong/hook route would take....forever!!</p> <p>@swurlygurl: Maybe a couple movies?? LOL</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: Good to know. And thanks for making that suggestion (about seperating the layers)<br /> &lt;--This smarty-pants probably would have forgotten to do that :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710976 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:05:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 710976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: yay! yes, E-6000 is like super glue when it's dried! It will take longer than a glue gun to dry but you should be able to just use a thin, small drop for small rhinestones. Just make sure to do it with the top layer of the tulle positioned away from the second layer or you'll glue the layers together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710962 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:03:42 +0000 swurlygurl 710962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggest super glue + flat-backed rhinestones.</p> <p>Definitely a project to do while watching a movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710958 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:02:44 +0000 MrsTiz 710958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do they make teeny jewels with a hook on the back? Or you could get a bunch of really small beads or pearls and sew them onto it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710949 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:01:18 +0000 Chillybear 710949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i second the E-6000 that stuff is amazing... stay way from the "tacky" glue for rhinestones. Love that E-6000 dries pretty quick even if it is smelly!</p> <p>I'm so glad your prom dress project is coming along so well! I would love to see pictures progress or finished </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710948 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:00:45 +0000 LindsayInNY 710948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking buying rhinestones with the prong backing. You would have to bend the prongs into the tulle (unless they make a tool for it?). Kinda like a bedazzler, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710939 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:57:35 +0000 MrsBrewer 710939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Awesome idea!! Do you think that glue will be strong enough?? </p> <p>I will definitely post pictures once we are finished! :-) I knew asking here would give me some awesome ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710928 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:55:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 710928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use craft glue (E-6000) and flat-backed rhinestones (don't use swarovski unless you wanna spend a lot of $$!!!). Super tiny dot of glue on the back of the rhinestone, then place using tweezers or a damp q-tip. The smaller rhinestone you choose, the longer it will take.. but larger rhinestones will look tackier. </p> <p>Good luck!! Please post the finished product!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-i-need-your-help#post-710897 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:48:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 710897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So....I'm in the middle of making my sister's prom dress (yay!! it's going AWESOME!) </p> <p>But now she told me that she wants to add "sparkle" to it once we're done. Great idea! Well.....any suggestions?! Her dress is pretty much going to end up like this (Satin and Tulle) same style pretty much.</p> <p>Also in the picture it's showing how she wants to add the "bling" to it. Basically starting at the hips and cascading down. How would you suggest getting the jewels or whatever we use to stay on? I'm afraid that if we try a hot glue gun that it will just melt the tulle.....Suggestions?? </p> [attach=1855/13/ml5d4o.240x370.Dress.png]
