  Crystal Shimmer
Add a little sparkle to your next kid's quilt with Kandi Corp's press-on beaded crystal embellishments. Crystal Shimmer looks like thousands of tiny colored beads compressed into a tissue-paper-thin sheet contained in a clear envelope. Its slightly tacky backing is made of a safe, acid-free glue that activates with just the heat from your hand.

Simply cut out a shape, remove the clear back sheet and place the tacky side down on your quilt. Press in place with your palm for 20 seconds and it's done. For a permanent, washable application, apply fusible web to the back of the sheet before cutting the shape. Then cut out your shape, remove the paper backing and fuse it to your quilt.

The 2
¾" x 6" Crystal Shimmer sheet is available in 13 different colors for $4.99 per sheet. Look for it at your local quilting or craft supply store.—SH
