how all those little rhinestones get on dance costumes?
probably not.
but, just to fill you in,
this is how it’s done…
you use E-6000 glue,
you fill a medical syringe with the glue,
you put a tiny dot of the glue from the syringe on the fabric,
you use a little wax wand to pick up and place the stone,
then you let it dry.
one by one.
diet coke & i have a serious bond from hours spent stoning…
this is a skill i picked up when i was on the ballroom team in college,
and it’s continued use has been applied so many times since entering
the world of dance mom.
kiana is a great assistant, when i take a little break,
she will sit-down and get all the stones flipped upright for me.
this entire process can take hours…
the 2010-11 dance season for kiana is just about to go from busy-normal
to off the charts-busy.
we are off to mobile, alabama, this weekend.
{we = kiana and i.}
any readers from mobile?
any recommendations on what to do in our very limited spare time?
kiana will be attending a dance workshop…
then competition season begins the next weekend.
here we go…
see you next week!
Thanks for sharing, I had no idea how the rhinestones goton the dance costumes.
Our dance season in Australia is coming to a end… the kids compete and dance at fairs all winter, things get so crazy!!! At the moment they're preparing for the end of year concert in December then we have 2 months off for summer break, woohoo!
Good luck Kiana.
Oh – My – Gosh! I now have figured out why I have been chosen to be a mom to crazy boys. There is no way I would have the patience for that! You are one dedicated dance momma. Tell Kiana good luck! I can't wait to hear how all of her competitions go.
Oh my goodness that is crazy! It must feel amazing once you get it done.
Good luck to Kiana this weekend!
wow!
what a process! you're such a great mother.
i was so excited to see that you'll be in mobile! i live only an hour and 45 min. from there and there is all kinds of things to do.
i'll get ya a list, but one thing you have to do is eat at Mellow Mushroom. it's GREAT pizza place. i love the philosoper's pie. Mmmm
Good luck with all the dancing! I can't wait till Layla's that age!
