[melissaroxx48]

Rainbow Converse with sequins... Love it!

[myx85]

Thank you for inspiring me to do my converse sneakers too!! But do you mean Austrian crystals instead of Australian??



[DominicThomas143]

you should do all of the colors from your shoe since they are rainbow!

[tisab16]

it's almost like deco den ^^ it is really nice :D

[nIcKbReNnAn16]

what size are the crystals? and would this work and the canvas part if i get black ones?

[centerofamazing]

@nIcKbReNnAn16 itll work with any! i have many diff colors i do this too!!!

[kidraulsupport10987]

its funny when americans say australia ...im australian

[whitney338978]

i bought a china marker and i don't understand how you get the crystal to stick to the marker?

[ComeToMyCupcakeParty]

I tried badazzling a pair of heels once with an actual badazzler that punches them in. i ruined the shoes, it didnt really work out, it was really hard, some fell off, etc. it was a bad experience cause i was so excited but i still really wanna do it, thankyou for your video :)

[jhkbvd04]

what size for a toddler girl shoes? I love this video very well explained

[TheAngel0714]

Do you think that glue would work on vans?

[Beringelinhaa]

You're so lucky.

Where i live, i can't order converse online from the site, cause they don't ship internationally :(

[NikiChennell]

Awesome thanks!

[HeatherHeavenly]

get to the jeweling already!

[ArtistWoOoOo]

holo nails :)

[squishyy3]

im wondering how long the rhinestones will stay on the shoes. i've never used gem-tac. i wanted to bling out some converse for my 2 year old but im kind of hesitant.

[mommy2adutchess]

@squishyy3

I have "blinged" converse out for my 18 month old (about 5 pairs). I use E6000 and plenty of it. Sometimes 1 or 2 will come off but they are easily replaced. The only problem is once you bling them you cannot stick them in the washer so you will have to settle for spot cleaning and magic erasers after blinging...

[squishyy3]

@mommy2adutchess i used the jolee's hot fix tool and put them on that way :/ i havent seen the durability of it because i want my daughter to use them for her birthday party next month. im hoping they wont come off very easily, but at least i'll know next time to use e6000 which i had on hand at the moment but the fumes kind of scare me since im pregnant and i didnt wanna do it outside since it was at night and there's bugs. thanks for the reply :)

[lserna1000]

Were can we get the marker you used to pick up the crystals?

[mpdfe]

if you only knew how much you helped me!! I was using that hot pink glue gun they sell. It would take me hours to put those litte suckers on. UNTIL I found your vide....

What a dummy I am I can't believe I didn't think of that.  THANK YOU MUCH

[spazmeier]

@ALICEPIN GemTac....but for jeans and bags i used fabric glue

[spazmeier]

@ALICEPIN then why did it seem to work for everyone else, including me?

[zozokitty1]

what is the name of the shoes and could u copy and paste a links thanks

[pursebuzz]

@zozokitty1 they are converse.. I would look up sequins :) they are so old they might have new styles now :)

[brae1231]

@zozokitty1 there converse

[JoanieMee]

What is the "pencil" that you use for pick rhinestones ? Is it a sticky pencil ?

[MPATRICK310]

@JoanieMee It's a China Marker. You can get it from Hobby Lobby or EBAY for about a Dollar. Or you can make one using a toothpick and wax.

[emptyeggshell]

ALL OF MY SHIT IS ALL READY BLING WOOP WOOP!

[peacebby100]

c Think Im Gonna BAdazzle My Basketball And My Glasses Can You DO One On A Basketball?

[MeEmma123]

u so inspire me o decorate my stuff..i totally wanna try this!!

[organizersrus]

No offense, but did you mean that you use "Austrian" crystals? You called them "Australian." Just an observation. Thanks for the tutorial!

[FierceMakeup19]

I loved your video!! this was very helpful! i have two questions!

1. can you use the gem tak glue for any kind of fabric, leather, etc? can you also use theat glue for jewelry?

2. where did you purchase that marker to pick up the crystals?

[FaeTigre]

what was the website you got your rhinestones from?

Thanx

[mininicolau]

WHAT GLUE DO YOU USE

[ThaButtaFly]

If you're like me and don't have a Michael's anywhere near you, Walmart has the swarovski crystals in their crafts section with the beads and jewelry making supplies

[classiefox]

too much talking geez my brain is numb

[MissRockStarr11]

@MusicMiley920 did u just buy them or u had them already because IM DYING TO GET THOES!! If so where did u get them from?

[Nattrosejenta]

you're like an asian kandee johnson!!! love it!! =)

[Boolia02]

can you bedazzle headbands?

[kimnice12]

where can i buy the glue?

[Norcalgirlys2957]

Is the glue water proof for the shoes and how long do they they last before they fall off

[apollo666a]

lovecut.co.uk sell most of the applications you need to bedazzle stuff

[apollo666a]

I love swarovski crystals although the best but very expensive but i find diamante crystals sparkle just as well. For someone on a budget, i would go for diamante rhinestones..not korean

[HappyLittleAnna]

you're not even using a bedazzler... call it "blinging" like a pro.

[Lamaged]

I tried this, but when I walked, the rhinestones kept falling off, so I gave up on reattaching them

[MadiiManiac]

whats a china marker..

[LaNoireSakura]

I think you look so much better without makeup! *_*

[XxAznKemo4LifexX]

cant u do like q-tip or toothpick and dip it into water? then pick up the gems? anyways can i use Unique Arts & crafts Glue?

[asianprincess1997]

can some one tell where to buy the crystals at? i don't know what to type in :/

[FHNgrl8]

what is a china marker and where do you get them???

[newyorkglitter]

I love that tip! so cool and super quick/easy. Tweezers are to dang hard. Thanks for another great tip Elessa!

[CallMeFrostbite]

I love those shoes!

GAHHHH!!!!

And I'm a boy... haha

[wizardlover1998]

whats a china marker O:

[pebbles802]

Wow, this is awesome! I have such a hard time with rhinestones that I just don't use them anymore. I am hoping this will work just as well when using rhinestones for makeup looks... thanks for the tip! I just ordered a china marker on ebay, can't wait to try it out!

[lapalomamorte]

i did this to a pair of my white converse, turned out amazing, wear them all the time!

[MsStrutter78]

Where do u get the china marker?

[R3TR0CUTi3]

[gabylolos]

lol there was a hair stuck to the rhinestoness

[gracegrape123]

i have the same exact shoe

[2010Tumadre1992]

ddkdkd

[DoggieAngel12345]

are those crystals expensive because Swarovski crystals are sooo expensive!!!

[Taylyndsayedwards]

Ha, I wanted to get those shoes in ankle. I hate high tops but love the style.

[Chasichan]

So gemtac is better than any normal adhesive used for rhinestones? (At least if yo go for permanent sticking?)

[iTasiaa]

What else can I use beside Gem-Tac?

[annies2299]

Abit to excited and you smile too much also you are too peppy hope that helps.

[TheOriginalKB]

i need those shoes!!!! i have simple black converse hightops but i love them XDD.

[Lesbiana31]

are you aware of how sexy you are? ;)

[taylorswiftluvajlw]

Where could I get a China Marker?

[icegirl1755]

i want to see your phone. 

[rawrritsuyen]

where can i get a china marker?

[izukii]

what's a china marker? still dont really get what it is?

[vramphal]

Thanks for sharing. I have a makeup storage kit from Dior but its black. The compartments are great but I wish it was prettier looking so this is a great idea. I just need to figure out a design for it.

[KanameAlucard1VK1HS]

You sound to peppy... It makes me want to stab my eyes out and rip off my ears... I hope that wasn't too graphic.

P.S- Way to ruin the converse. Don't fuck with All Star.

[19901615]

can gemtac work on laptop or would it damage it

[18Lacasper]

I think their cute with just one line of rhinestones.

[lxinfernolxl]

Thank you for making these videos! Just a quick question, why cant you jsut use your fingers?

[sweetdancer18]

@lxinfernolxl the oil from your skin would transfer to the glue/gem.then b/c of the oil that was transferred the glue could peel

[peaceloveglitter]

I have been wanting to rhinestone so much stuff but I have always been afraid that I'm going to screw it up. You made it look so easy! Thanks!! I can't wait to try it out :)

[lauren185817]

hi i love your videos, now i have to say you said a china marker correct? did you purchase that at a craft store or were exactly?

[skyedink]

you should be able to buy the china marker (grease pencil) at an office store like staples too..

[SandraLondon63]

Elessa, this is super beautiful. Thanks for the tip about the China Marker...

Actually, they are Austrian (not Australian) crystals. I agree with you they are the best. The cheap ones are made of plastic, so they are no use really.

[wilarico8]

gay

[alinesoarescatao]

What color is you nail polish?? Just loved it!!! lol

[nailluva]

can u tell me what size the are

cuz i got the 3 mm and theyre small so i dont know whast size thnx

[pursebuzz]

@nailluva I used 16SS but for phones I like 12SS

[Beautycute16]

Can u plz do a tutorial on ur hairstyle that u have in this vid?

[starrylou23]

the pencils might also be called chinagraph pencils

[BDDuran]

Australian Crystals? Are you sure... I think you mean Austrian.

[LeanyB]

Austrian Crystals :) Not Australian!

[cannavaroISlove]

where can we get a china pen thingy?

[pursebuzz]

@AshleeLovesMJ i'd try an office supply store :)

[choclatefall]

Can you bedazzle purses, umm high heels or clothing?Just wondering cause it's very cool.

xoxo choclatefall xoxo

[pursebuzz]

@choclatefall yes everything :)

[bubbles9871]

i went to michales today and bought the glue, but I went to 4 different stores, and I cant find a china marker, or anything similar

[pursebuzz]

@bubbles9871 try a office supply store. They call them grease markers too. Google it for stores? you are gonna love it!!!

[cycoG]

how do you bedazzle a basketball lol? or do you just not use it after? haha

[Ladytalon]

Elessa, can you use GemTac for fabric as well? I have one of those fabric purses from Michaels and I've tried just about everything but when the fabric ripples as the purse moves, the gems just fall off and I'm left with a nasty glue-crust on the fabric!

[pursebuzz]

@Ladytalon yes everything :) I decorated my rock and republic jeans.. so fun!

[SandraLondon63]

That is great Elissa. I really want to try this on jeans!!! Thanks!!!!

[inthelimelight05]

love those shoes!

[xJalenax]

OMG I LOVE THOSE RAINBOW SHOES!

[OmgStephanieMarie]

how do you get the different color kinda pattern on there? i cant find it!!!!!!

[kaylaandtwilight]

did u bedazzle ur glasses?

[pursebuzz]

@kaylaandtwilight no I wish would have cost way less. These are actually screwed in on the sides :)

[mrscareless]

Don´t you mean Austrian crystals? Swarovski is from austria not australia :D just sayin´. but great tutorial loved it :)

[ilsepla]

@mrscareless I was just gonna say that! thanks for beating me to it! hahaha :)

[anoniempjesssss]

[Crazee108]

[buchsdrn]

That was interesting, thanks for the video Elessa.

[ZetaSoulBlue]

[RemiWinchester]

is the china marker sticky or something? i dont understand.

[CHONNYandRACH]

where do you get a china marker? 

[gloriakagome]

@CHONNYandRACH Craft stores.

[miniDAiSIE]

I'm pretty sure you can find them at an art store, craft store, or office supply store in the pen and markers section.

[Ladytalon]

@CHONNYandRACH you can buy china markers at any office supply store

[BoomBamnBaby]

@CHONNYandRACH The Sharpie brand has a line of them, I'm pretty sure Office Depot sells it:)

[suvakas321]

I had wanted to decorate my shoes for a long time now.

What can I use beside china marker?

[hollowcheer04]

i absolutely love Michaels!! :)

[ivette818]

How do the crystals stick to the china marker?

[yvonneeeeeeeeeee]

for shoes .. thats kinda lg. LOL

[ilovehisoka]

I'm totally diggin' your nail polish and ring! me wants!

[glindasgal]

what is a china marker?

[gloriakagome]

@glindasgal Wax pencil.

[BopityBoo]

@glindasgal It's a tool that helps you pick up things without using a tweezer.

[BoomBamnBaby]

@glindasgal Its a grease pencil made of hardened wax that's used to writed on non-porous surfaces like glass and platic. Its the one with the little string attached near the top that you use to sharpen it. Ever been to starbucks? Thats what they use to write on their cups:)

[threedeemcgee]

i totally have those rainbow chucks!!!! i love them :)

[limptoe4]

those converse are available at nordstrom and converse.com sometimes journeys and footlocker

theyre pricey i believe $70 or $80 where as a typical pair is about $40

[dreama6715]

@limptoe4

I just saw them at the Nordstrom Rack....didnt check the price though, think they might have been $40, but they should be cheaper than regular retail price

[BellaJaramillo]

U know that austria, australian, and swarovski crystals are all the same thing??

[ilovehisoka]

@BellaJaramillo Really?

[sharlicious123]

i like your tips vids!

[ameliahope19]

Wats a china marker and where can I get one? Pls answer me I really badly want to know! I love your vids!

[dreama6715]

@ameliahope19

its a wax pencil and can be found at Michaels, any craft store, or artists supply store

[uuloveashley]

what is your nail polish?

i loveee it!

[starryme7]

OMG, ever since I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic I've wanted to do/try this on mine! Thanks for the tip, Elessa! :D

[xlajimex]

i like the style, but if they were dirty they would look much better

[pinkbabii7]

This is such an adorable idea!! Could you please do a video showing some of the other things you have bedazzled like this??

[FilleDeBatterie]

those converse are AWESOME

[cobugi]

I'm going to bedazzle my desk lamp!

thanks for the tip :)

[sweetpuppy120489]

you know? If you put the entire crystal all over the tips of the shoes, it will look like the shoes that is call twinkle toes front sketcher...and thanks for a nice tip...hahaha. I still have no idea wthk is the china marker...

[Ateara217]

@sweetpuppy120489 its a wax pencil, and instead of sharpening it you peel away the outer edges when you need to get more. (like when you would sharpen a pencil)

usually used on glass and things such as that (usually non permanent on those surfaces)

[xkidd092]

i love this! i think im going to do this to my phone :)

[joannthomas3]

I love doing this sort of stuff. I use to bling out baby pacifiers. I use to make flower designs for spring, heart shape for vday and a clover for st patties day. My neice loved them.

[MileyDOMOKUNpugs]

can i do that on my phone or my laptop? with that glue?

[ilovemychubbybunny]

I know this off topic... but I love your nail polish... where can I get it?

[SCx0]

[TessaStyle]

[sylvieismyname]

[bewateverr]

[Impulsiiv]

I MUST do this! thanks for the Tip.

[CasualDreamerz]

Do you know where I can get these crystals at a good price?

[MDRavensOrioleGal26]

That is a really neat idea Elessa!! Your shoes look extra sparkly, but not too much!! ~Erin
