Sprinkles - I'm about to give up

[BLL]

Everytime they seem lose there silver colour an become clear when they are baked.
What I want to know is: Is there a glue I can use that will be clear and strong?
PVA will peel off i think, and superglue goes all white.

I'm not familiar with Sprinkels? Is that another name for glitter
Not that I've tried it and it might leave shiny spots but what about Gem bond or fabric tac

[BLL]

Thanks Fantail they sound worth looking into.
Sprinkles is what I call those teeny tiny bead looking things. I will see if I can dig up a pic. I think blue has used them on her iddy biddys before.
Blue, what did you use?

Oooh pretty BLL
I have read that some people use crystal clear Gallery Glass or 3-D Crystal Lacquer to set them though I don't know if they sell those products here etc
I hope you find something that works


Just edited to say:
I think they are called micro-beads but they do look like the sprinkles that one puts on cupcakes

[BLL]

Ah yeah, micro beads! that rings a bell. *blush*
Would spotlight have Gallery Glass? I think I've seen something like it there.
Thanks again, F.

[fantail]

That might be where I've seen it you can always ring them
I read it in this thread

I just hope it works

Well, how bout that? Mentioning Spotlight reminded me I had some "You can wash it" glue. Seems to work great!

[fantail]

Yay! glad you found something that worked without having to spend more money

hi doll


use the metal microbeads and youll have absolutely no probs.

the plastic microbeads are great for nail art. or post bake stuff.

hope that helps.
