How to Make Cabochons for Use in Beadwork

I learned how to make cabochons recently that I can use in beadwork.
Supply list:
• 1” round hole punch (Amazon)
• 1” round clear epoxy stickers (Etsy)
• E6000 glue (craft store/section)
• One 1 round hole punch
• Lacy’s Stiff Stuff, Pellon firm or other felt (craft store)
• 1" printed designs - make circle shaped (Word/Google Docs)

I have made Blythe eyes using similar products. My glass eye part was not adhesive. I used white glue onto the printed eye.

[@joshchatasegich6437]

what paper type did you use?

[@joshchatasegich6437]

Do you mind me asking what printer and paper you use?

[@aliceguss5413]

I understand the printing of the picture but where do you buy the plastic covers? TIA

Thank you so much 💛

[@johnneiMontana]

Was that photo/glossy paper?

[@jenniferbissaillion7951]

What’s the name of your cutter and where did you buy it?

[@shopwithmaja]

Gorgeous!! Where do you get your designs from?

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

I make them with Adobe InDesign using my photos. These were printed on 8x10, but I've also created 4x6 sizes also. Sorry for the late reply...just saw your comment. Thank you for the questions!

How do you get images to print of great quality? I have an Epson eco tank and have been trying to print images at 25mm car stock and image quality is not good, any advice?

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

I apologize for the late response. I print them on photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. The photo paper gives a better quality image. Printing on my printer at home with regular paper has a more dull and darker look. I have been printing some graphics for buttons recently, and sent them to be printed at Office Depot printing. I select 28# paper. They usually have coupons and they print them pretty quickly. I have found that they are better quality prints than at home. And I print them on 8.5x11 size.

I think they are asking how do you get the circular images? Google? And then how do you turn them into little circles?

[@kristimiles1430]

Great tutorial. What size are the cabs?

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

These are 1"

[@Adarkerdeed]

How do you make the perfect sizes on word?

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

I design them using InDesign. In Word, go to Layout/Size/scroll to find 4 x 6. Set margins to narrow. Then start making circles by going to Insert/Picture. Then crop to shape - oval. Click crop again and find the corner of the circle, and move it until it is 1' x 1'. Then, move your photo to where you want it to fit. You might have to hold on the shift button while you are adjusting the size of the photo (inside crop marks), so it won't get distorted. I hope this helps. Sorry for the late response. I didn't get a notification of comments.

What kind of paper do you print the cabs on?

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

Hi. Photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. Sorry for the late response.

What do you print your images on? photo paper? thanks

[@AngelaGonzalezayatlin]

Yes, photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. The photo paper gives a better quality image. Printing on my printer at home with regular paper has a more dull and darker look.
