I have seen several cute projects using the Micro Beads. so I purchased some to try. Unfortunatly I can't seem to find a way to make them stick to my project. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks!
Stampin' UP! has a grea tprodust callen Crystal Effects, it can be used for so many things. I always use it to adhere micro beads to my cards. It dries clear, so if you color your image first then attach the beads they look colored. They only thing you need to be careful about it not to shake the container, bubbles and Crystal Effects do not mix!! Good luck. [email protected]

Stampin' Up! sells Crystal Effects, Sticky Strip and a 2 way glue pen all of which I have used for the micro beads and they seem to work great.

I use Oh So Sticky Tape from PennywiseArts.com. It comes in many widths, and with instructions! I really like using the paperbacked tape that you can stamp on before you cut it out. It makes beading a detailed image super-easy. I don't think you'll find a better price, or a company with better customer service. (I buy my beads there, too.)

Malinda: Thanks! for the website info, I have never heard of PennywiseArts before, but will have to check it out as soon as I get off of here. You learn so much on these forums. Thanks again for sharing.

You can buy sheets called Wonder something - usually have a pinkish color backing. You cut your desired shate, pull one side off, stick it to your card, then pull off the other side, put card in coffee filter, sprinkle on and press the beads slightly. They stay well alone or give a little Krylon spray. They work beautifully with the Nature's Wonders set.
I also order all my micro beads and supplies from Pennywise. I found her information on this site and love ordering from her. She is so sweet and gives you lots of information with your order. I use the tacky tape and the sheets, it works the best. I do have the tape from Michael's and it works too. Just heat it up with your heat tool first for the ultimate stickyness.
