Thanks for your tutorial. I make glass cabs with pictures and I have found an easier way for me to seal the picture instead of Modge Podge. I just use regular clear top coat fingernail polish. It dries super quick and gives the paper a nice satin look finish. Also to give you paper cutouts a perfect round, square, oval or any other shape you want is to use, I use the craft paper punches. They usually come in all sizes that match the diameter of the glass cab. It really looks professionally finished and it's MUCH faster than cutting them out by hand. Hope that helps!
It’s nice to have a non toxic product as so many ppl are using it & found out the hard way (severe finger burns) & can no longer get near it or that E stuff! Like the way the Diamond glaze works & does anyone know if after it’s dried can you then paint with acrylic paint on top of a droplet?
Thank you , thank you, thank you. I was doing it 'backwards' gluing paper into tray then applying glaze in between glass and image. Never did get a clear image and so much to clean up around the edges. I don't know if I would have thought to do it this way.
Thank you for this. A lot of the "make a glass pendant" tutorials don't bother saying what to do about the back of the pendant (except to glue it inside a bezel). It looks like these pendants would be nicely sealed.
Some complaining about using E6000, to attach a bail, they say it falls off the next day! And it's toxic? I also wondered why you never mentioned or you yourself used a mouth mask or something? Need to find another glue but def not E6000!! But nice video about the Diamond Glaze
Hi I just saw this video and I like it I live in Puerto Rico can find anything for craft can you tell me where to buy glass tile and if this is the name I should call it in the place you recommended thank you
I've seen Bible scripture, & words such as believe, hope, etc on these pendants. Where do you find the words/scriptures? & how do you put them in the pendant? Thank you!
You could make up a design yourself with a graphics program and print it on your printer. Use a pretty font to show the word "Believe" (or some other words) and make it the right size. Then you would, as per these instructions, cut it out to match your glass tile, coat it with mod podge on both sides, and so on. A good free graphics program is Gimp (see www.gimp.org )
Great instruction video!
Your glass tile is called a "cabochon" FYI. Also, you will only need to use Mod Podge is your print is ink jet. Laser prints do not require Mod Podge.
Thanks for that info about which printer does not need mod podge

I'm looking for a paper punch cutter that does several sizes in one, is there such a paper punch cutter or do I have to buy the sizes separately
Biracraft - Birabira has a 3 circle punch, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm all built into one handy punch. Item HCP-115-389.
I have found using double-sided adhesive sheets works so much easier than glue and it's less messy and less time consuming

The part that you are calling a finding or binding it is called a bezel tray that the cabochons is placed into

I am getting so many silver type spots using glaze between the glass and photo paper, is that why you use mod podge?
This is great! tyfs xoxo
Couldn’t you use diamond glaze as the adhesive to a bezel instead of e6000?

Dont use super glues, they dry out and than bail will fall off.
