Today I want to show you a huge money saving tip , make your own sticky back gems . You will need some lable paper with labels used off it already , Aleenne’s Tack It over and over glue , acrylic flat back gems ( I bought my at half off from Hobby Lobby for 8 bucks for 1 pound different colors and sizes ).Put glue dont on same side of paper as labels stick to . I make my glue dots a little smaller than the stone then press stone in the glue , let them dry over night and you now have sticky back gems . One pound will last you a life time or share with your friends as I do . 8 dollars for gems 3.50 for glue = gems for ever .. I get my label paper from work they throw this paper away by the gobs every day , so I take some home and recycle . You can just put glue dots on the back of the gems as you go but this gives them a raised look , I want them flat to the paper .
Great idea!!!!! Love all the color and sizes of the gems – Thanks
Hope you enjoy them , I love sharing with my scrappy friends : )
