For those who wanted to know how to make hair accessories from fabric / appliques. You will need Gem Tac glue, wax paper and an applique or an ornamental spot from extra material from your dress. The idea is to use the glue as your "rubber" backing on the ornament. You can either turn the applique face down on the wax paper and pour the glue over top OR pour a large puddle of glue on the wax paper and set the applique in the glue. Wait until the glue is good and dry and cut around the applique and peal the wax paper off. Use bobby pins to attach in hair.

I have been trying for years to figure out what that stuff is! You are my new hero. Thank you!!!!

I make my own dance jewelry and hair accessories, and I sell them for a low cost!! Since they are all Swarovski with the highest quality it can seem pricey, but i can assure you that they will last better than ones purchased elsewhere.
Personally for me I do not like GemTac because is dries slowly and it does not cure all the way most of the time so it remains stick and can affect your jewelry after a while.
If you wanted more information send me a message and I can give you a link to my etsy and ebay stores :)

Could you please tell me the name of your ebay store. Thanks.

Here's a link to a tutorial on how to make the jewelry that was very helpful. http://ballroomchick.com/2013/04/01/make-your-own-ballroom-dancing-jewelry/

Hi! Thank you so much for the information, I have made my own jewelry, using gem tack glue, but the jewelry becomes sticky after and bends. How can I make it look and feel like jelly, like danceshopper does?
Thank you so much!

Do you still sell hair jewelry, and if so, what is your etsy site?
