Can you use E6000 to attach rhinestones to a plastic squeeze bottle?

Hi Recreated Designs,

That's a great idea. Maybe I could just do the recipient's initials or something. It would certainly take me much less time to do each bottle if I don't totally cover it, and hopefully, the crystals would be less likely to fall off.

Thank you and be safe and be well.

I love the initial idea! That would make it very personal and I think the rhinestones would stay put when squeezed. Have fun! They sound great!

Thank you so much.

Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!!

Hi Vimarhonor,

That's a really interesting idea, but do you think that it would stand up to being put in and taken out of a purse frequently. I know that I have silicone caulk in my bathroom but it's around my backsplash and doesn't get a lot of wear.

Can you buy it in small tubes? It would certainly cover the flexibility problem.

Thank you so much. Happy Holidays. Be safe and be well.

Hi vimarhonor,

I thought that I had replied to you but it isn't showing.

The caulk sounds like a great solution, but do you think it would stand up to frequently being put in and taken out of a purse?

I have silicone caulk in my bathroom and it's great, but it's around my backsplash where it doesn't get a lot of wear.

It would certainly solve the flexibility problem though. Do you know if it comes in small tubes? I think I've only seen the giant economy size with the gun applicator.

Thank you so much. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Hello Phyllis. I was kinda of thinking aloud.

I have used silicone caulk and in a lot of my crafting and creating applications. I’ve used it to seal canvas to wooden frames-to smooth out clay sculptures and used it very thick in dimensional paintings to make petals.

It is a pretty sturdy product. I know you can get it in 5 ounce toothpaste like tubes in white I’m not sure about clear. See photo.

If you have any caulk. around the house already open or on hand I suggest maybe a test—try it on something small gum container matchbook or whatever and see if you can embed something in and see how it feels structurally as a test experiment before proceeding with your gemstone. Use whatever you might have their pearls peppercorns gravel and see how the caulk might manage embedding.

Alternatively have you been to the craft store particularly this time of year there is lots of dazzling sparkling items to view. I believe they do have a mesh metallic ribbon with rhinestones imbedded in it they use it at weddings to put on decorative vases.

Maybe to use the E 6000 to glue the sparkly embedded ribbon on your container might be an option to think about as well. Best wishes on your crafting ideas.

Kindest regards Karen

Hi Karen,

I had written two very long responses but they are not showing. Perhaps it's because I had said that my issue was resolved.

Basically, I thanked you for getting back to me and to let you know that I will try to find my caulk, which hopefully has not dried up.

I had actually just been looking at the ribbon and discovered that there are also self-stick rhinestone sheets in all colors too.

So thank you again.

Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!!
