I'm thinking about making a tiara with the large crystals glued onto the tiara(Tillie's Tiara's has a bunch of examples on their facebook page), but I'm not sure what kind of glue to use. I typically use E6000, but the ones I've seen in person appear to have a different kind of glue. Any suggestions?

I watched the girl at Camelia Rose making all sorts of tiaras and hair decorations at their stall at the Worlds, she used a hot glue gun for all of them. (NT)-Wednesday, June 20, 07:27:01pm

And I've reglued all the stones that have fallen off of her tiaras for customers that come to me (NT)Tillies TiarasThursday, June 21, 07:36:54am

I've seen the hot glue, and don't love it because the stones don't seem to stick to it, it seems like an epoxy type glue would be better? (NT)any thoughts?Friday, June 22, 11:49:41pm

I use E6000 for all crystal projects - dresses, buckles, number holders, head bands. I haven't done a tiara, but that's the best glue for everything. (NT)use in a ventilated areaSaturday, June 23, 07:40:03am

Do the stones have a silver backing on them? I had to glue a couple of clear stones on my headband and I noticed the sparkle is now reduced. (NT)mpMonday, June 25, 08:34:20am

Thanks for the thoughts! I ended up using E6000 with heavy weight fishing line on the sew on stones. I don't know if it was a necessary step, but it seemed more secure that way. (NT)OPFriday, June 29, 04:18:02pm

We bought our custom made crown from Conny's Custom Crowns. She makes the tiara with heavy gauge wire, solders it all herself and uses an epoxy glue for the crystals. (NT)hthThursday, July 26, 06:42:48pm
