What is the best way to sew beads on a t-shirt?

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

I have started embellishing t-shirts by sewing beads/sequins on them. What is the best way to do this so that they do not come loose after repeated washings? Can I sew them and glue them for extra strength? If so, does anyone have a particular glue that they can recommend? Or is there maybe some kind of wonder-under type product that I can iron on the back to hold the stitching in place?? Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated!!

How do I polish wooden beads?

Monday, May 14th, 2012

I'm trying to polish some small wooden beads for making jewelry with varnish. The problem is how do I dry them without getting lumps of varnish? If I set them on wax paper it pools around the bottom, if I pierce and suspend them, the varnish runs down and hangs from the bottom. They are very small, so I don't want to sand them (it would take hours) and I can't run them through a tumbler/polisher. Any ideas?

happyroses asked:

Like when we stick something, we need to apply slight pressure. BUt how do i apply pressure while sticking beads on a dress because whatever is underneath will also absorb the glue through the fabric and stick to it!

Last time i kept a plastic sheet and it stuck to the fabric!
