Bedazzler

[dancerjodi]

Do any of my crafty friends in the Boston area have something akin to the Bedazzler ala the 80's?

I wasn't going to plan on putting all of the hand painting and beading onto this Inara bodice, but in case I have time I figured I'd inquire of you all. Have you used something like this on fabric before? Was it effective? Can you find supplies locally/easily (i.e. no time for mail order) and do they carry pearl like buttons for it (i.e. not just the rhinestones)?

I don't need a lot of them, but it sure may make application easier (and if one of you has one I could borrow it would be very cool). Here's an example of what they'd be used for on the bra, not the armband

Or do you think it would be easier by hand? I've never used rhinestones or anything of that nature before. I'm not looking for fancy - just something that look sort of like white pearls.

Here's the painted detailing on the back . I need some gold paint markers.

I don't have a Bedazzler, but a lot of the belly dancers who do their own costuming say they love theirs. Playtime has them, I've always been a bit tempted.
