Beads and accessories for your flamenco dress

ORIGINAL FLAMENCO ACCESSORIES

SPRING HAS COME!!
And with it, flamenco fashion comes out on the streets. We have already left behind the parades, the fashion shows, the magazines, the designers’ proposals for this year. Now it’s time to make it real; let all the women get beautiful dressed in flamenco!

Once you have chosen your outfit, new or not, the accessories give that magic touch that will complete the novelty of the outfit if you are making your debut or will allow you to feel divine again with the same dress as in other years.

We focus on the accessories which is our part of the job.   The fact that you can make them yourself opens up a wide range of possibilities, since you can choose the combination of colors, the type of earring ( earrings, tears, filigree, etc) even what type of closure you want to wear in your ear ( screw, omega, etc). And the same goes for the little combs, bracelets, necklaces, brooches for shawls or flowers for hair.

For all this we leave you some of our proposals.

Gluing Techniques

HOW TO GLUE BEADS AND TRIMMINGS

Today we are going to give you advice that will help you to make your complements in the best possible way. As well as informing you of all the latest news related to fashion and accessories.
We will start by giving you a few tips on how to use the different types of glues correctly:

GLASS GLUE

The key to this glue is that it DOES NOT STAIN, so you can stick the glass without fear that it will lose its characteristic shine.

You can find this glue by clicking here

EXAMPLES OF USE:
Sticking glitter on a base for slopes, or on any surface we want to decorate (from a mobile phone cover, to a lamp). When we talk about glitter, we refer to chatons or flatsbacks, or similes (conical base) of Swarovski Elements.

IMPORTANT FEATURE:
This glue is slow to set, meaning it takes 10 to 12 hours to set.

DOUBLE COMPONENT GLUE

Another glue we use every day is the two-component glue. This glue is used to glue the rest of the materials, i.e. metal to metal (sticking a base to an earring screw); leather to metal (sticking a clasp to a leather to make a bracelet); resins, etc. It is a quick glue so in a matter of minutes it is glued and you have to be careful because it can stain.

One last piece of advice, in terms of brands, there is a great variety, but its cost is high, from this blog we propose you to use white brands, they are much cheaper, they go very well and above all, DO NOT USE known brands of glues that stick super hard and very fast, because they are very aggressive glues that end up eating the material to which you stick them, so the normal thing, is that things end up getting unstuck.

Without further ado, we send you a greeting from Vinda Selección, until the next one.
