this is amazing! i can't wait to try it. i have been searching for the perfect "craft" gift for a friend of mine, and i know she will love this. Thank you for posting this!!!
when I get off work im going to the craft or $1 store. I am making some immediately!! I absolutely love love love love love love this tutorial..thx a million
I found the glass stones at the craft store. I think both Michaels and Hobby Lobby have them. You can find them on Amazon. Also, I sometimes find them at the dollar store. I would check there first, if you have any around you.
hot glue a magnet on the back. use on your fridge for the kids artwork. fun project to do with kids on rainy/ snowy days!! makes great Christmas gifts.
For the crackle to work, you have to work backwards. You have to put a clear topcoat on, or it won't crackle. The steps are, 1. Clear topcoat. Let it dry. 2. Crackle coat. Let it dry. 3. Whatever color you want showing through. Let it dry. 4. Clear topcoat. Let it dry. I usually have all my crafts on my blog as well and you can see the steps there too. I have the link on my channel page if you are interested. Thanks for watching. Mona
Great tutorial CraftKlatch, was watching this at 2am and I have glass circle cabs and took them out and my nail polish collection and did these as I was watching this video this is an amazing project love it.
Thank you and I have gotten the glass stones at the craft stores, sometimes Jo Anns has them, or sometimes I'm lucky enough to get them at the dollar store! If you search Amazon for glass stones, they should come up. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I always try to get back to anyone with questions, but sometimes I don't get to it as quickly as I'd like. Thanks again for watching!
I purchased them at the craft store, but I have seen them at the dollar store too. It's usually by the floral stuff. Otherwise, go on Amazon and look up jumbo glass gems. Thanks for watching.
I didn't know you had to put the clear top coat on first. I guess I got the wrong directions because I read them again and it never mentioned that. No wonder mine never turned out right. Thank you for your great videos. I love what you do and am usually working with fabric, but I love jewelry (especially watches) and was looking for a way to make an unusual watch band. I will show you one when I get it done. I am in Arizona now, not at my studio at home, so it will be another month by then.
This is so cool!!! I was wondering if you have ever tried the Crackle Accents medium by Ranger or the Crackle Medium sold by Plaid in the craft paint area? I would love to see if those work better or not with this idea!!
Thanks Michelle. You can use them for all kinds of things. You can add a jewelry bail and make a pendant for a necklace. You can attach it to a ring blank and have a ring that matches your nail polish. You can make a bunch and have them in a bowl for decorations. You can make a bunch and mosaic something, like a frame. Let your imagination run wild! Thanks for watching! Mona
I love this idea, but I am wondering if you glue the polished side of the stone to a ring blank (even the E6000), do you have any problem with it coming off of the ring? Wouldn't the polish peel off and not let the ring stick? Thanks
I have not tried attaching these to rings yet. I did attach one of the other ones in a different video to ring and gave it to my niece. Thanks for watching!
THESE TOO would make awesome cement coaster holders, right? again, what do I paint to protect the back with the crackle effect???? You've REALLY "STRUCK GOLD" with the coaster idea Mona!!!! luv ya, lynda
Just found you and subscribed I love this idea. I watched ,and ran out to buy nail crackle😩...couldnt find any in my town 😢so there is a Sally Hansen store in Brantford. Thanks so much for sharing this. Debbie ,from Ontario Canada...cheers
Did you put the glitter on after the crackle when it dried? So do you only put the nail polish on one side? Sorry it's a little confusing. Or do you put the glitter on one side and the crackle on the other? You didn't mention this bit.
Hi Mona , I just love your tutorials , I would love to use these in the coaster molds also. But do you need to seal the last coat with something , and do you think resin would work. Thanks in advance . Rosie.
You can glue a ring blank that you buy at the craft story on the back. You can glue a magnet to the back. A lot of people like to have them laying around for decorative purposes. You can certainly put them in a coaster. I have done one in the past. It all up to your imagination. Thanks for watching!
Love the results you achieved :). What type of glue would you suggest to stick these to either a ring blank or a pendant blank there is so much to chose out there. Thank you look forward to your next project.
Thank you for watching. They vary, as no two are alike. They seem to vary from about one inch to one and a quarter inches. Try dollar stores or craft stores, usually by the floral department. Otherwise, try Amazon. Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you. Mona
Absolutely! You can buy a glue on bail, like these from Amazon, astore.amazon.com/craftklatch-20/detail/B00D4D51OA and you can glue them on the backs and have a necklace!

Thanks Monica.

Yes. Let the topcoat dry completely, then put on the crackle. Thanks for watching.

I'm not sure if you can get crackle nail polish at the Dollar Store but they do have an assortment of colors and clear glitter ones.

Where are the cracked paints sold? Beautiful!

You bet!
I wish I had some of these stones on hand! I have over 100 different nail polishes (I tend to over collect) and I'd LOVE to try this!
This is so cool!!! I was wondering if you have ever tried the Crackle Accents medium by Ranger or the Crackle Medium sold by Plaid in the craft paint area? I would love to see if those work better or not with this idea!!
Very pretty. How big are the stones? I can only find some that are about a half inch wide and I'd like larger for pendants..
Thanks Michelle. You can use them for all kinds of things. You can add a jewelry bail and make a pendant for a necklace.

Mona
Carla libbey yes u can it would actually work great!
Pretty. What do you use them for?
Yay! Welcome and thank you for subbing!
Thank you so much!

So easy and pretty.. Will definitely give it a try. Thank you.
+Dolores Ungerleider Thanks Dolores. I'm glad you like them.

I love these they are so cute.

Mona
Hi Mona , I just love your tutorials , I would love to use these in the coaster molds also. But do you need to seal the last coat with something , and do you think resin would work. Thanks in advance . Rosie.
Rosie Donnelly Hi Rosie- I have used them in the coaster molds. They work just fine!
You can glue a ring blank that you buy at the craft story on the back. You can glue a magnet to the back. A lot of people like to have them laying around for decorative purposes. You can certainly put them in a coaster. I have done one in the past. It all up to your imagination. Thanks for watching!
Have you created any necklaces and bracelets where you wrap wire around your beautiful stones? can you make a tutorial for this?
do you think using glue instead of crackle polish would work? I have seen others use it to cause the cracks.
WOW THAT IS SO COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I I am so using this for my bead work!!!!! :D Thank you so uch for your creativity
I like this idea but were do u get the glass stones from?
Love your vids. Wish you had more.😊
Thank you! Over a thousand and more coming next year!
Can you use sharpie markers for making designs on the back of stones instead of fingernail polish
Love the results you achieved :). What type of glue would you suggest to stick these to either a ring blank or a pendant blank there is so much to chose out there. Thank you look forward to your next project.
+MANUELA MACHADO Thank you Manuela. I like to use The Ultimate glue.
have you tried magnetic nail polish or nail polish and mica powders or lose eye shadow and nail polish
I got mine at walmart, they're like these but smaller and they're kind of more circular. i love your ideas, if only i had crackle nail polish :(
You could do crackle and then water marble it!!! That would look, cool I think!
That was beautiful!
can you please tell me what brand of crackle polish you used? thanks
They look amazing! Have you tried attaching them to make rings?
do you have to wait for the top coat to dry?
Good idea!
The yellow is my favorite
You use crackle polish on this? Where did you get it?
I have discover you!!!! lol! love your ideas!♥

Bailey - I wish I knew! I just looked and don't have it anymore! Sorry!
