It's got sequins & beads all along the neckline. I really need to wash it! I've heard of putting it in a pillowcase (if you're going to wash it in the washer).. but I want your guys' advice? What detergent to use, hot/cold water, everything!

Thanks. :)

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!!

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?

When we got them at first, they were clear..
Because we were inside the classroom.
But when I was outside going to my next class
I realized that they changed color :D
What are they?

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!
