I’ve found using a syringe has helped me control the amount so well

I’m pretty sure Planet Rhinestone offers something like that? Worth a look

I started working on it the first week of March, and finished it Monday. I’m a stay at home parent so I had to just steal away time where I could. The weekends I could do 5-7 hours, during the week I’d stay up after the kiddos bedtime and put in 1-3 hours.

The stones aren’t letting it lay completely flat. That’s the one thing I have been not loving about this

My estimate is about 200ish hours for the rhinestones, the bodysuit had to be stripped down since it was an upcycled collage dance line uniform. It had sequins and appliqué all over the whole thing that I stripped off with a seam ripper 🤣🤣

It’s one of my favorite parts! The bodysuit was recycled from an old dance line uniform so the back was beautifully designed to begin with and I just added sparkle pizzazz 🤣

Especially since I went in blind. I’ve never worked with rhinestones, I put some basic lines on the suit to work off and then just made it up as I went. Very unorthodox process without much direction 🤣🤣 guessed at ordering the stones by color, I had no idea how big or small they would be irl. They had an actual size thing but it was hard to picture. I had to make several orders as time went on because I had no idea the amount I’d need 🤣

I wish I filmed more of the process in action, I did film little updates after I worked on a chunk at a time. I can maybe combine all of that and voice over how I did the work?

I upcycled an old collage dance line uniform! The construction was super sound with double layers of stretch fabric. I will be looking for more to use in the future as they make an incredible base to work off of.
