Speckles - Go for it. Definitely cheaper than $50.

Can't wait to start my blinged-out DIY cake topper. These look gorgeous! Our colors are lime green and royal blue, so I am going to try painting the letter lime green and choose blue rhinestones. That way a little bit of the green will peek out in between the stones...we'll see how it goes!

Hi MissBubbles, I absolutely love the cake topper that you did! I was wondering how will you make it stand on the cake? Are you adding anything else to it!? Thanks!

 Thank you!! )  I plan to bling out the backside.. but other than that the only other thing I will do is attach 2 dowels to the letter so that it can easily be inserted into the top of the cake.  

 

Did I mention I will be making sure I have my glue gun with me in my suitcase??  lol...

Ignore the blue.. I bought those to write I Do on the bottom of my shoes.. But I bought iron-on and flatback to see which would look best. I figured I could use the iron on for my tanks if it don't work out for the topper. 2mm will be super tiny, so I'm afraid it will be a bit tidious.. But from what I've read these are the most common used.. 12ss(3.5mm I believe), 16ss(4mm), 20ss(5mm).. But I also saw a gorgeous one done in only 10ss(3mm)

 

Hi Bubbles. Where did you buy your rhinestones from? Do you know how many approximately you used? I found a site that where 144 come in a package for $2...I'm not sure how many packets of rhinestones I would need though? I see that yours are way cheaper for 3000 pieces!!

 It is much cheaper to go ahead and buy more.  I have purchased from a couple other sellers in the past, but the seller I purchased the above items from came from a different seller. Let me find the name.
