I use rainbow colored bugle beads to simulate cupcake sprinkles on many of my crocheted projects, and I wanted to try embellishing a pair of glasses or sunglasses with the same beads! I squirted out small amounts of E6000 at a time onto a piece of cardboard, and then used tweezers to dip one bead into the glue and then place it on the glasses frame. Next time, I might try to remove the lenses first, to ensure you won't get those little glue-threads everywhere! I've also read once that someone applied a small area of glue onto the surface to be embellished, and then placed the beads/embellishents onto the glue. I have yet to try this method, but it sounds pretty good, too!
