Tips Beads

Do you bedazzle your kids clothes? Or have you ever added beads or sequins?

I’m wondering if people bother to do this and if so, where do you get the supplies and how do you learn to do it? I always like my kids to dress differently than the other kids, but I was thinking about adding sequins or stones to some of the jeans to make sure that they are in fact one of a kind.

I bedazzle, bead and sequin everything. But I have a small fashion line and that’s what i use to make my stuff stand out…it’s my signature.

When i was younger i got a lot of supplies from a craft store like Michaels. They have nail heads, rhinestones, appliqués patches, beads, sequins –plus they have kits for customizing clothes, tie dye kits. distressed denim kits, instruction leaflets, whatever you might want and or need. Their website has a few tips and tricks. I learned by reading the instructions and I learned a lot by experimenting and simply doing it.

Check out Craftster.org. it’s an on-line community of people who love to make things and they have tips, tricks, tutorials, links to stores, links to lessons, -it’s a great place for people who love being one of a kind.
