"Hi, I'm Robin with Treesmon.com. We're making a video for expert Village today on how to embellish your t-shirts and sweatshirt with jewels. This is the t-shirt that I was in the store that I wanted and all it had was the jewels around the neck of the t-shirt. This is what I am going to show you how to do. This is a v-neck t-shirt and I took a measuring tape, measured it and every half inch, I just put a little dot with a pen just very lightly. That is going to be where I am going to place my jewels. I have alternated the pattern with a big rectangle and a small rectangle. I have already done this side. I am going to show you how I glue those on. First of all, I don't use the tip of the glue. I use a toothpick. It's too hard to control what comes out of the glue tip and sometimes you get too much and it gets all over the place. So, I just use a toothpick. Unscrew the top. Make sure that I put the top on some surface, like a plastic bag or something because it does drop some of the glue and you don't want it to get all over things. So put it on a protective surface. Take your glue and dip the toothpick in the glue. Put the glue on the back, make sure you get to every corner and edge and place it right on the t-shirt."
