Gluing Jewels to fabric
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an adhesive for gluing jewel embellishments to fabric. I used Aleene's Jewel-It. The jewel stuck but can be put off easily. I want to put them on a tipi for my grand daughter. I don't want her to be able to get them off. Any suggestions "All Knowing Ones"? You are always so eager and helpful. Thank you for your thoughts.

You need to look at embellishments with adhesive on them, such as hot fix crystals. Here's a site I've ordered from before:

There is a special tool that you can use that heats up the crystal and activates the glue, however, if you are just going to be doing a few, you can position the crystal and just use your iron to heat it up. One of those small clover irons works well
