Diy Advice - Stationary

I bought some 'diamantes' from WHSmith craft area - they were in small bags (lots of different colours in the range) and I bought clear ones for only 99p. They aren't sef adhesive though, but I just used some craft glue with a small nozzle.

Scotch double sided is ace. Much stickier thn some. Maybe a little thicker too, so it depends what you're doing with it. Whenever I've stuck diamantes on things, I've used ds tape or glue - the self-adhesive ones never seem that sticky. EBay for ribbon, cheap as chips.

I would say ebay is the best for ribbon. I got 5 meters for £1.50 including postage

I initially used a double sided tape dispenser like the one in the picture, but after a day, the invite became unstuck, so ended up using craft glue. Therefore wouldnt recommend that type.

For ribbon, I got it off ebay. Diamantes I think were from hobby craft.

Get all my self adhesive pearls and diamantés from Boyes. 99p to £1.50 a sheet of 60-100 and they have always been fab. Done my wedding shoes in the, the invites and my BM shoes last year- they are still all in place on my BM flats despite being chucked in a trunk lol xx

Went to hobbycraft today and got 3 packs of 100 adhesive pearls at £1.49 per pack amongst many other bits.

Try Hobbycraft and other craft sites and shops.

Ooo yes, ebay for ribbon too - I won bidding on 25m of ribbon for £2.10!! :0)

Thanks ladies, off I go to start searching!

Don't forget to give us a flash when you've made them

Hi I can help with ribbon can get almost any colour under the sun between 20p and 30p a metre and cheaper again if whole rolls bought. www.babybearcreations.co.uk
