Actually yes. This is kind of a fucked up story since I used materials from my mom's scrap booking set and my dad's work supplies.

My mom had a ton of die cuts that she made out of cool materials. Some were paper, some were taffeta, some lace. I took a few of the pretty shaped ones and then applied them to Peel N Stick dots which covered the entire back. This adhesive is safe for the body and is acid-free. The lace ones lasted quite a few applications, but the paper ones didn't...I didn't expect them too though. less

I made my own, but they were really simple. You could use the same materials, though, and just attach something more decorative to the outside, though ^_^

Here's a link to my post on making pasties: link

It's a Wanton Wednesday picture post; there's some skin. Consider yourself warned less

Scrap booking stuff sounds so perfect for that, all those cool patterns!

Could Peel N Stick also be called MacTac or is this different? Do you think I could find this in a dollar store? I'm not sure it might be safe though since the stuff they have is from china and their material standards are not as high as ours, right? less

MacTac? I tried looking that up, but could not find a good link. Peel N Stick is made by the company my Dad works for, so I know it isn't called anything else. it is made here in the US. I've been to the plant. 3M makes a similar product however.

Peel N Stick Dots can be found at Walmart, Target, Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, etc type places. They can also be found online.

One of my aunts related a story of how she dressed up as a stripper for one Halloween back in the 1970's:

"For the pasties - and I advise no one to EVER do this - I simply painted white glue on and around my nipples and dipped them into a jar of glitter. Neat effect, but a bitch to take off at the end of the night."


I was never curious enough to try; I'm more likely to dress as 'Sweet Sweet Connie' if I ever dress up as a stripper. less
