I'm not sure if this is a "bright idea" or a total bust!
I'd rather have people here say it is cheezy before I do it and then find out when everyone busts out laughing!
I was thinking of trying rhinestones on a cape instead of the old sequins or cut beads. This would be on a little girls cape with butterfly appliques.
I also thought it might look neat instead of the sequined dot fabric everyone is using, to use the colored rhinestones to make designs on satin fabric ribbonwork/appliques. Since the rhinestone come in all different colors, I figured just apply then around the edges of appliques or fill in the designs with the rhinestones.
There is a neat tool I found on the internet called a BeJeweler, where you can order crystal rhinestones loose in bulk and with this little tool pick each one up, press down and it attaches it to the fabric. The sequins have flat backs and come in all the colors with lots of sparkle. When I saw it, my inspiration started inspiring!
Is this just waaaaaaaaaaay too cheezy, or has anyone else tried this or seen it come out really neat??????
