Rhinestones @ Michaels

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Hey all! Recently (today) I headed over to michaels craft store to go get another sponge to replace the one I'm missing and well I decided to do a little other shopping. I went by the jewelry making and spotted some rhinestones that looked like the G2 eyes (smallest being 3mm but the same pointed backs as the G2 gems)

They came in about 5 different colors and I bought a package of the pink ones to see if they would actually fit a G2's eyes...
Not in the least but it's nice to know they are carrying stuff like that now and I'm sure some crafty customizers here would find a use for them

They work well enough for G2s as long as they stay on display.  Since they'd be outside of the socket, too much action on the play field could make them come off super fast.  I was told that 2.8 was a match for adult G2s and 2.5 was for the babies.  Or something like that.  I'll look for the thread.

Edit:  Found it.  2.5 mm for adults and 1 mm for babies.  That sounds a lot better than what I said.

Possibly so, but I'm picky about the gems, if they stick out too much well I say no

That is good to know on the size, 2.5 is an easy size to get, 1mm anything is a bit harder.

I have found that the sizes sold in the local craft stores are just a touch large for the work I do on MLP.  I like 2mm better.
