This video tutorial will show you two different techniques to create interesting patterns and textures under the glass, so you’re essentially creating your own beautiful gems to work with! When they’re done, use them for making pendants, rings, magnets, mosaics, or any number of other fun craft projects.
How to use your pretty new gems: Using E600, an amazing industrial strength adhesive (and my go-to for dozens of craft and jewelry making applications), you can make all kinds of fun stuff by attaching your gems to any of the items below
1.) Make a Ring. Attach cabochon to a ring blank
2.) Make a Pendant. Attach cabochon to an aanraku bail (glue-on bail)
3.) Make Magnets. Attach cabochons to craft magnets
4.) Bezel set the cabochon, like any gemstone
5.) Make a mosaic. Use these gems like you would mosaic tiles for any number of mosaic applications (decorate a picture frame, a mirror, a table top, bird bath, etc.)
