[@staycebynum5737]

These are beautiful! How do you keep the white sneaker from turning yellow from the glue? Thanks.

[@Blingionaire]

Thank you! Use E6000 glue. It dries clear & doesn't turn yellowish. Other glues like Gemtac will turn yellow over time.

[@staycebynum5737]

@@Blingionaire funny, that's what I used. That was the second shoe I had ever done. One turned yellow and other didn't. I've since switched to the Gorilla Glue. I've only been doing shoes since August. The young lady was so bummed out that she can't wear them for the summer now. She only got to wear them for her wedding. Thanks so much.

I love these! Thank you for sharing this information. Chile, you have got patience!!!! Me, no thank you! I’ll simply place my order on your website😂😂😂😂

LOL 😆 yes it is time consuming... Thank you!

The glue you are using in the video is what please? Because it looks white ☺️ and your shoes or beautiful ❤️❤️

[@Blingionaire]

Hi that glue is called Gem Tac

[@FRUITOSE001]

Just pure talent!

[@laurabrooks25]

What glue do you use

[@Blingionaire]

For this older video I was using Gem Tac or E6000 glue. But for my newer videos I've been using Liquid Fusion and I still use E6000.

[@thedarthflagger]

Those are SICKENING. The use of ab and pearls makes for a stunning combo. Happy you are using gem tack and not that e6000 garbage.

[@rhoshandawillianson4095]

Does that glue dry and hold better than e6000 and what kind you use

[@Blingionaire]

Hi I use both GemTac & E6000 permanent bond glues. Here is the difference. GEMTAC is a permanent glue that bonds embellishments, such as gems, sequins, glitter, rhinestones and more. It can be used on fabrics, glass, vinyl, metal and patent leather. It dries crystal clear and is washable, non-toxic and non-flammable. E6000 has exceptional adhesion to wood, metal, glass, fiberglass, ceramics, masonry and concrete. It also adheres strongly to leather, rubber, vinyl and many plastics. It is toxic. So basically they both do the job for converse sneakers. But I've started using E6000 more because overtime (several months later) once dried I've noticed Gemtac glue will have a yellowish tent it the glue is exposed & visible. Hope this helps!

[@maricelagarcia2078]

Is it a pattern that you use to place stones? Or just randomly? And where do you order stones? Beautifullllll

[@Blingionaire]

Thank you. I place the stones randomly it's the scattered look. I order from a website called Harman Bead Imports but you can find quality glass crystals stones on Etsy & Amazon. 😊

[@KhiraMomodu]

LOVE!!! I want to try!

[@theprincessdinosaur9349]

What kind of glue is that the glue is backwards

[@tierrabriggs7581]

Hi do you have a link to where you order your pearls and stones?

[@Blingionaire]

Hi I have an account with Har-man importing Corp. They are a huge Swarovski, Preciosa, & other stones supplier. You do need to have an business EIN # to be a member, but you can search etsy for "flat back pearls or half pearls". They have many sellers...hope this helps 😊

[@cindygivens4020]

Very nice

[@andreaworships]

Hi Coco, what type of glue do you use?

[@Blingionaire]

Hi I use E6000 glue

[@jeffsgyrl11]

Cocoa, I’m loving your work! I need glue advice. I first got E6000 but saw complaints about odor, toxicity, etc. and switched to Gem Tac. They both dry clear which is great but I saw the comment about the Gem Tac yellowing over time. 😩 I didn’t know that! I’m new at this and have used each only once. I’m confused on which to use. Help! I would love to get your expert advice.

[@CHunterSlater]

Outstanding!!!

[@sydneyhumphrey8132]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind saying, where do you get your shoes from? Also do you get them wholesale?

[@Blingionaire]

Hi thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately I do not get my converse wholesale. I use part of the funds that was used to purchase my crystal converse to buy that actually sneaker. I like to get them from Shoe Carnival because they have half sizes in the store & I'm a reward member so I can get discounts & BOGO 1/2 off. I'm always in there & when I go I'm usually buying 2 or more at a time so I get the deals. Also Journeys & Famous Footwear are my other go to stores. I'm also a member & get store/online discounts, $5 off or 10-15% off & BOGO 1/2 off at Famous footwear. Last is Foot locker & The Converse outlet. They do don't give discounts & the converse I need are never on sale. I hope this helps.

What glue is that?

[@Blingionaire]

In this video I used Gemtac glue, but I prefer to use E6000 now & use that on majority of work.

[@wc4098]

What is that tool to apply the pearl?

[@Blingionaire]

Hi I used the Crystal Katana to adhere the rhinestones. But a wax pencil is just as good. I use my wax pencils more.

[@wc4098]

About how many pearls and crystals did you use for per one shoe?

When I do the converse sign or go around it it seems as if it always sinks in I stuff it with plastic bags first How do you properly do that area ?

[@Blingionaire]

Hi, I would recommend using a whole lot of plastic bags in that area or try a towel & use it just to stuff sneakers. The added weight should hold up the structure.

[@raynerrobinson]

Do you prefer the gem tec glue or e6000? E6000 works really well but the smell and the messiness is overwhelming!

[@Blingionaire]

I would love to just use gem tec, it's non toxic & has a strong hold...but over time I've noticed it will turn a yellowish tent. If you are doing work on a white background the dry glue will turn yellowish. The E6000 is toxic with a strong smell but it will not turn the item yellowish. Now if I'm working with other colors besides white then I'll use gem tec.

[@raynerrobinson]

@@Blingionaire thank you for your response. I have some white shoes that I stoned years ago and noticed the yellow-ness. I had no idea why. Great advice! Thanks again!

[@tamamsamir]

Love these! I have a question. You mentioned that gem Tec turns yellow, how long does it take for it to turn yellow? And also, if you’re using a white background like in the video, why did you choose gem Tec? Thank you 🥰
