This tip is up late, since I have spent most of the last week finishing up swap presents and finishing up the jade anna dress to wearability in time for a competition Saturday. More--oh so much more--on that later. For the present, a tip.
Consider hair jewels.

Hair jewels, typically rhinestones, are a common addition to hairstyles, particularly for the fancy up-dos of the ballroom events. So how do you get them to stay on? I use the same water-proof eyelash glue that I use for my fake eyelashes. Coat the back of the stone with glue, let it sit for 30-60 second until tacky, then press into place on the dry, shellacked hair. I have never had a stone fall off once properly set in place using eyelash glue.
As you might have realized, ballroom dancers are not shy about putting all sorts of products in their hair. I've seen and heard of white glue and glitter glue, as in those from the school supply section of the average store, being used in hairstyles. As long as it's water-soluble and safe for skin contact, it's an option.
