What glue to use for glitter and crystals or rhinestones on leather

British asks:
I'd like to know how to secure glitter on fabric. AND what’s the best type of glue to use in order to glue crystals/rhinestones onto leather?

Uh - I use Ultimate Glue for EVERYTHING! But Aleene's jewelry glue (a dot on the end of a toothpick applied to the leather) will do the trick, too. I've actually used both glues for applying crystals or small beads to various fabrics. Ultimate is a bit thicker (not ALWAYS a good thing for small crystals) but is great as long as you don't dump out a huge bit of it.

Hope this helps,
Kai
