Stone Work question!

[kimi7986]

I'm making my own suit for my upcoming figure competition in October and I'm having trouble finding out what size stones to get. There aren't any craft places or anything around here, so I'm going to order them online, but not sure what mm sizes of crystals to get. Any recommendations from suit makers out there? Any links to good sites would be great too!

(or tips on making my own!)

Get lost of goo gone for your first suit. It's not as easy as it looks, but fun and you will feel very proud once you do it and realize "I made that".

Smallest stones are 16ss
medium size stones are 20ss
large stones are 30ss

I would suggest buying them from www.tamisplace.com since she offers smaller quantities and also free shipping and she's extremely helpful.

GOOD LUCK

I stone all my own suits and wrote about it in one of my newsletters. You can find the link here:

it covers what size to get, where to order, what glue to use and other fun stuff about stoning your own suits, it is very easy and fun. I also recommend getting a maniquin to put the suit on, that will make it extremely easy for you to see where the stones should go.

I use E6000. Get goo gone also, it will take that glue off easy without harming the fabric, so I always have a container of that nearby.
