they have been together for a long time . Edge looks alittle like Bono in this pic . :yes:

*glees*

That's me on the left!


btw,
Helmut Lang made the pants.
Don't know who made the shirts, but it wasn't his mum, unless Rio Ferdinand and Mary J. rang her up to make shirts for them, too.

or, y'know, if you snuck a picture at the HOF and made your own from that...

:D

And that Zazzle shirt?
*coughsuckscough*
the materials to do it right cost $20.


Also, don't waste your money on a Beadazzler.
They set the studs for crap. It's very touchy to get it aligned right and not have the prongs go out instead of in, and you practically have to re-align it after every stud you do. Plus, the arm isn't long enough to reach half of where you're working (you can only bunch up so much fabric).
Spend 99 cents and get a Sharpie. The cap end is perfect for pushing those little prongs in.

Oooooh :love:

Are those like those little jewels that are just glued on? I've gotten shirts before that were pre-made like that, and have always wanted to give it a try.

opps just saw this post...I just want to say on behalf of the bedazzler..I have one that my mom bought a very long time ago...I dont know if the current dazzler works the same since you claim it didnt work quite right for you...
the one we have we have used many times with great results...especially on demin fabric...
I do custom hand painted spacialty shirts and I glue sparkly stones on the designes..((they sell really great)) and for the demin skirts I use the bedazzler....and it works just fine...We get really good quality stones on wholesale and the aim of the dazzler is just right...
I used the dazzler on some cute flare jeans and I studded U2 logos on the bottom back of the flare...I wore the jeans to several concerts last year....But than again like I said my moms dazzler has a long arm and works just fine..that is why I was positive about it......:)

Yeah, the new dazzlers suck. It's only about a 10-12" arm. Might be able to look around on Ebay for an older one.

Thanks for the compliment, 2morrow. I wore those almost to death. They don't look very light in that picture, but the pants used to be actual blue jeans! :S

Tip on buying studs, though: http://www.kitkraft.biz
Good prices and fast shipping. ('Cause you need about 800 studs!)

Edit to add:: I too use Aileens embelishing glue for all the thinner fabrics and very detailed designs and when I use very small stones...the dazzler I only use one thick fabric like denim....

I'll take pics and post some of the stuff I do as soon as I can if anyone is intrested in seeing them;)

Yeah..Im looking for the newer version on line just to see how it looks but my moms is a very old model...we are talking about the time it was first presented and it still works like new...I get my stones locally on wholesale at Bugle beads or on line where ever I can find exotic color stones for my shirts like the irredecent stones..

lol I'm cheap, my customers are cheap. I buy acrylic stones. (since they're in settings, I don't have to worry about the foil back wearing away with the glue)


Heh, I'd take a picture of mine, but I finally threw it away. I kept the setting plate, though, that was actually handy.
