In reply to: op 's message, "Thanks, I did glue them in the end but just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! The thing is I have really small crystals (2mm size) as its for something that I am doing that is ID related but not for a dress. I find it really tricky to pick them up & place them just right & also the glue get messy for such a small stone. Ideally I want something that will pick it up and glue it down right where I want it. Maybe I stop trying to make it so intricate & go for a bigger stone." on Sunday, January 22, 06:05:32am
 I had to put some 12ss stones on my dughters dress, I found these sticks that look almost like a Qtip, but the end is made of a waxy material, it easily picks up your small stone, where you can than dab glue,( I use E-6000, I love that stuff) you can dab glue on your stone with a toothpick or dip it right in the glue, carefully and then place your stone where you want it. I use a toothpick to help pull it off the waxy stick. you can get them on most beading sites, I think I bought mine on love2crystal.com for 1.99 a piece. I got a lot of mileage out of one stick. They are awesome for working with small stones. Not sure what the stick is called, but I have seen them on several sites. Google it. But you won't be sorry investing in one. If you buy the wooden one for 1.99, I reccommend getting more than one just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you get one what you think. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
