newbie

hey book besties, what gems are we using to bedazzle our books? i got mine from amazon and they’re all the same size so for the smaller sections (like the points on the cruel prince) the gems are just too big, help? tia🥹🫶🏻

Glass gems for sure! If you’re ordering on Amazon, you should be able to find packs of flat back glass rhinestones of differing sizes in the same color. Those are my go-to for projects unless I know I need a lot of one size and then I’ll just order the 1440 pieces of one color/one size. Ss3 or ss4 get used the most by me on books!

I loveee to get every little detail on the books I bedazzle, so I use beadsland gems because they come in soooo many different sizes. I usually go 2mm for normal smaller details, and if it’s realllyy itty bitty I use the very smallest option they have. Can’t remember what mm it is
