may help. I'm sure it's a lot of work.
eta: or if you can find those metal spangles that are shiney with holes you could do some solid wire work and sew those on...
Since I'm DETERMINED to include GOOP in every post if possible- For that kind of fine detail work it might help to GOOP the little spanglemirrors a little before sewing...Some varieties of GOOP come with a little screw-on snout (don't you wish YOU had one?) to dispense a smaller portion of the GOOPy goodness....I personally would skip sewing altogether! The only trouble I've ever had with GOOP on a surface was with it tearing off the thin outer layer of leather from an old, cheap and very dried-out leather coat. Even then, a few stitches as anchors kept the tears from starting anew once repaired.
