Quickie last project idea: Instant inspiration from magazine pages -Kim made this Buddha pendant in a flash from a home decor magazine page. Magazine clippings are perfect for our cameo and collage pendants because the paper is already sealed - just use a small drop of 3D Crystal Lacquer directly on the magazine image, place your glass tile on top, slide tile on surface to remove bubbles, let dry. e6000 your completed art glass tile into the base.This was a super simple version - very cool additions would be to find some inspiring words in the article, or grab some cool lettering or smaller pics/patterns - collage it. In addition to squares, we have a TON of new ovals and rounds - all in 4pc kits ready to use!
What else can you do with magazine, newspaper, wrapping paper and other things found in your recycling bin? Use our memory frame minis - the 2-sided acetate insert is your template - trim and wear. Any of our fine glass tiles can be made into a personalized pendant, with a little glue-on bail, a magnet, dab of our 3D Crystal Lacquer or Diamond Glaze or e6000 – you’ve got instant wearable art or fun customized fridge magnets.
