How to Easily Adhere Gems to Fabric

HELP!!!! It’s Karen!   What do I do when my beautiful gem covered shirt begins to shed gems?
Stop everything! Quarentine yourself! BGE to the rescue!

Grab your bottle of Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Tip. This was my first attempt at using BGE for a repair, as well as, using it on fabric. The fine tip was a essential to my success because these gems were the tiniest I have ever seen. The process was simple and with great tools and a steady hand, I really couldn’t fail.

Step one: Thoroughly investigate the shirt looking for any loose gems. Carefully, remove them and collect them so that you can reattach them with BGE. TIP: I pried some of the gems off near the bottom edge or seam where it would be less obvious that they were missing so that I could reposition them in the gaps along the shoulder and neckline.

Step two: Lay the shirt flat and apply tiny dots BGE to the fabric. (3 white dots of glue on top left)

Step three: Use the Embellie Gellie to select a single gem and
transport it to the shirt. Carefully, place the gem onto the wet glue.  (TIP: You may need to use a toothpick to help release it from the end of the Embellie Gellie.)

 

Before:                                                                        After:

 

Thankfully, I noticed the missing gems before the problem got too bad so I think this operation was a complete success at reviving my shirt. Thanks to the Best Glue Ever!
