If this is your first experience in decorating gele, do not panic. In fact, this process is not difficult at all. Just follow these simple instructions and add some of your creativity.

You will need the following materials:

1.       Stickers with rhinestones;

2.       Gele fabric

3.       Glue;

4.       Pearls. 

Proceed as follows:

1.    Have your gele ready. Buy the rhinestones, pearls, beads and other decorative elements you like. Then also get some glue.

2.    You should always be careful but swift. So, beforehand, have your design in mind and you should already know where everything goes.

3.    How to put stones on fabric? Use an iron to attach the stickers. Make sure they are well placed. Adding a little glue will also help to keep it in place. Remember: you should be careful not to overheat the iron so you would not burn your crystals.

4.    When you finish with the stickers, add the pearls next according to the design you have in mind.

5.    This part will take some focus. Put some glue on each pearl and fix them on your gele one by one. It might take some time but the result is worth the effort. Make sure the glue is durable. So they will not get unstuck when wearing your gele.
