How to Adhere Micro Beads Simply & Easily

Best Glue Ever is the perfect glue to use to attach those super tiny micro beads.  It bonds quickly with micro beads.  Use a deep plastic storage box and place the project in it to help contain the runaway beads. (aka: tricky little escape artists)  Clean up is easier if you avoid using a cardboard box with flaps and crevices.  I found it easiest to apply 1-2 small areas of BGE and gently pour the micro beads over the wet adhesive.  Next, add a spot of BGE in the center of each flower and then add the micro beads.

Check out all the hand stamped flowers in my layout.  I even stamped some onto organza fabric and used a needle and thread to cinch the center for more realistic layers.  I heat embossed the music notes onto acetate so that I would have less areas to fussy cut and also the sentiment so that I could move it around until it found a place within the design.  The bottom edge was distressed and rolled up to reveal the B side of the paper which was a red & white stripe.  I added the window embellishment because it implies that sense of freedom of being your authentic self when you dance.  The lace pattern is reflected in the curtains which also reminds me of performing on stage.
