pls tell me for the flip flops how many flatbacks you need estimate for these and also do these come in strips or do you apply them one by one, and what kind of beads are used in the picture of the slippers in the back those are not rhinestones are they? Mahalo
There is approximately 78 flatback rhinestones on the flipflops that are pictured. But this will of course vary depending on how wide your straps are and how big your rhinestones are. We sell a variety of flatback rhinestones http://factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Red+Swarovski+Like+Rhinestone+Crystal+Stickers+&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 You can try to peel them off in strips but you will most likely have to place them one by one. I would also suggest using a bit of glue to make sure the rhinestones adhere to your shoes nicely. Happy crafting!
