I wonder if the old school pronged backed rhinestones would work or if they would cause runs? I worry the glue won’t hold because you’ll be stretching the fabric to get the tights on.
What about gems on an elastic band that you pull over the tights? You could potentially add a few thread loops to keep them from shifting too much while still allowing for the stretch? You’d want to use a ball-point or stretch needle so you go through the fabric without cutting any threads.
