…that sounds kinda perverted, doesn’t it?
Anyways, for those of you strassing your own shoes, where do you do most of the work? I was doing mine while watching TV, but sitting on the couch and bedazzling gave me major neck aches! Now I’m strassing at work during my lunch, lol:

So where do you strass?

I do it mostly on the couch. I started doing it somewhere else too. I have to drive through downtown traffice everyday and there is a lot of waiting, so when, and only when, the car is stopped, I do it. Just to clarify, I am using stones that have a sticker back so its not like I have my glue gun plugged into my cigarette lighter. I am also going to start doing it at my desk at work on my lunch.

Im so glad I found the stick on stones. I started with a glue gun and it took me forever. I found them at Walmart and they are made by Elmers so they stick really good. Your shoes look great so far. I love the color.

@futuremrsmclean: Thanks! I actually got the stones on ebay super cheap.
I didn’t get to work on them today during my lunch because I didn’t really take a lunch…super busy at work! Hopefully I will tomorrow though!

I strass on our dinning room table. I know what you mean about them taking a long time. I have been doing them every other day for about 2 weeks and I am still not done.

I’ve found myself strassing in the bathroom lol. That way I can open up the window and not have the glue smell all throughout my tiny apartment
