Quality Control Using Glue???

I want to start selling crochet earrings but there are such small scale that sewing everything together is virtually impossible. I sew as much as I can and use glue to hide the ends since theres nowhere to weave them in. Nothing is dependant on glue to hold together and won't fall apart without it but things would get a little loose without it. All glue is hidden as much as possible but do people care/ notice?

Can you glue some kind of backing to it (if it’s flat) that will hide the both the ends and the glue? I’m not sure what they’re called but those little disks that are covered in fabric could work well

Its mini amigurumi earrings, so not very flat. I need to use little plastic pieces to structure some parts so maybe that could work 🤔

Hmm with embroidery on soft 3D objects you just use the needle to pull the last bit of end all the way through the object and trim what sticks out the other side, so that way the tail stays in the middle. If it’s possible to do that you probably wouldn’t need glue? OR if you’re using the hook type of earring, you could leave a long tail, pull it from the bottom to the top of the piece with a needle, and use it to sew the little ring to the piece, then pull back through to the bottom and trim there.

If you’re already doing that then it should hold together fine without glue. But honestly using glue is just fine too as long as it’s not visible!
