Sorry, but that link doesn't work.

I used to buy mine from josyrose.com. I've also bought a pack of Lakeland's glue on gems in round and square, plus a couple of packs from Studio Cards, one clear gems one coloured, and they range from about 1.5mm up to 3mm, and are perfect for doing graduated designs. Mind you, it's not easy applying glue to 1.5mm gems, and one of those bent end pointed tweezers are a must!

QVC keep including sheets of stick-on one in their kits, so I've got load of them as well.

Well it worked yesterday, maybe there is a glitch in the website, that happens with alot of websites, try again tomorrow. It will probably work then. I have seen josyrose website and i think they are well expensive on most things, i have seen alot of there stuff alot cheaper elsewhere.

Probably true, Habby, but I bought my packs about 3 years ago, and there wasn't much choice out there at the time. They were also very reasonably priced considering. Incidentally,theirs are glass gems, not plastic ones, so maybe that's where the price difference lies.

Papermania do stick on gems and pearls that really pretty - £1.99 per pack. I keep meaning to treat myself to more hot fix gems to use with my Bejeweller - by far the cheapest way of using rhinestones etc once you have the tool!

It is working now, they have been updating their website which is why it probably wasn`t working since it has all changed now.

just a thought, i use a sakura quickie glue pen to put dots where i want my jewels and pop them on with tweezers (or damp a finger to pick it up ) works great as long as you dont do too big a blob. glue dries clear. otherwise i put tiny dabs of of silicone with a cocktail stick.

my missus dont do any crafts what so ever. She keeps buying stuff to do, then sticks it in a cupboard and forgets about it.

That sounds familiar, although I do actually use it;)
