An Update on a Bling Idea
Today I bought the glue for this project. After spending 20 minutes talking to a shop assistant in a local DIY shop the best buy was Rapid Epoxy Tube for £4.49. After talking about the business plan to the shop guy telling him the necessary requriements for the glue it was decided that even though this would be a little fiddly it would be the strongest and longest lasting.
However today has not been a good post day. Ideally I was hoping for a few packages which meant I could start my first case, but only my new Cosmo magazine came. But I am going to use this time to watch some Dragons Den as research for my application to the Dragons. Hopefully I will get a lovely big investment, but I am aware how unlikely this would be.
So far I have bought:
clear hard cover phone case
3000 rhinestones in 12 different colours
25 black bows
Rapid Epoxy Tube (glue)
The next few purchases will be:
1000 rhinestones in; black, brown and bronze
Iphone 4s hard case
50 bronze pyramid studs
6 medium glitter bows in different colours
16 piece Hello Kitty set (this is a big maybe)
50 Fimo Canes (each make 100 cuts)
Once what I have bought has been delievered I will make my first case, which I have already designed. Then I will be making my first case for someone else. My aim is to be able to start my personal one this week and next week start the gift case and when in London to research for gem shops.
As always if you have anything you can recommend I would really appreciate in the input. And you will get credit like Mizuho Ozaki who sent me a selection of Japanese blogs about DIY cases and recommened the glue.
