Hello. I attended the Latino Film Festival in Chandler last year and you were there teaching us how to do a magnet. I loved the idea and am curious if you can send me the instructions on how to do it. I live in NYC now and so I wont be able to attend any of your events for a while so I thought that email was the best way to ask you. Thanks.
Sandra Hi Sandra! Marble magnets are the best craft - easy, fast and they rock the party when you give them out as gifts. Basically you just add a small drop of Elmer's on the back of the CLEAR glass pebble and rub it around the surface to make a thin layer. After you cut out the picture you want to use, place it right side down on the glue. Press it to squeeze out any air bubbles. The Elmer's will dry clear. And then you just hot glue on a sturdy magnet. Color copies or magazine photos work best - studio photos are too thick and won't adhere to the glass. Happy gluing!

This is a great craft! You can use almost endless images, decorative papers etc. The marbles can be made into jewelry, mangets or pushpins. The possiblities are endless.

Great website! I have a question about marketing your crafts- where do i go to get that info from you? An any tips on marketing? Maybe your top ten best bits of wisdom? I am trying to get my hand painted glasses sold in many stores. Not sure how to do it on a bigger scale. Hmmm...thanks!

Hi there,
I have a question about domino jewelry. I am using a metal drum bead on the top of my domino to thread the necklace through, but, I am having adhesive issues. I have tried everything, including E6000. Any ideas on what will work? The glue sticks to the domino but not the bead. My email is sewnstyle@gmail.com Thank you, Sassy
You can draw on the back of the glass rock with India Ink. I use a thin point calligraphy pen. I draw simple designs. I let it dry for a day. Then I paint with acrylic craft paint or paint pen, depending on the design. I then wait for it to dry. I put a clear coat of sealer or glossy Mod Podge it seal the paint. I glue my magnet on the back.
You can paint the design then put scrapbook paper on the back. Solid colors work the best. It helps bring out the designs at times. About Me
