easy glass jewelry papermart

Here is a quick, easy, inexpensive craft you can make using nail polish, flat backed glass marbles and foil candy wrappers! You can also use up the bits of scrap paper you have been accumulating. The marbles and nail polish are from the dollar store and the foil is from www.papermart.com/Product%20Pa... and any scraps of pattern paper or pics from a magazine. The finished beads can be glued to ring or earing findings or soldered to jump rings or glued to bails for pendants. can be used too! more crafty goodness on my blog: thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com Music credit (if music is present in video) Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

My husband helped me come up with an other idea for these.. Glue them on a belt, you can mix and match sizes and colors.. Yay!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Jen Hostetler great idea!

[@loryacton3945]

These are so cute and fun to make! Great for making magnets or pendants for fund raisers too! Thanks for sharing. I love your video's!

[@priscillaross-fox9407]

Crafters never cease to amaze me

[@krystaldaniels7940]

Oh these are so cool! I've had some of the glass marble/stones in my bead bin for the longest time, not knowing what I could use them for! I make custom horse tack and accessories, these will be amazing on some rhythm beads!🥰

[@thecrazyladie]

This is so awesome....what is even more awesome is that i have been doing a version of this myself. 😄 i started playing with jewelry making about 3 years ago and thought to make my own stones, before i had actual stones with art paint, watch faces, paper, ribbon, ect. 😙🌈

[@takehomeahottie]

Love your projects today and appreciate your enthusiasm! Can't wait to try these!!! Thank you.

[@lizettehocutt7573]

[@nikolabailey1837]

Easy to follow video and so quick and a great project to do with my daughter x I love your energy in what you do. Thank you for sharing x

[@Britgirl58]

I have those glass beads!!! I used them for sticking to a small image for a card, but I never thought about jewelry, (or nail polish!) but then that's why I watch you, Lindsay, full of great ideas! TFS - Julie

[@artisanshrew]

I’m an obsessive “craft-supply” shopper so I always have the supplies but ZERO of the creativity! THANK YOU for sharing this!!! PS. You are my FAVORITE CRAFTER! You are always so pleasant-friendly, upbeat & fun! The kind of gal most of us wannabe crafters would want as a friend! 👍❤️😜

[@thefrugalcrafter]

aww, you are sweet:)

[@pebblesstleonards]

10 years ago but still a great video! 🤗 Super ideas!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes! Thank you!

[@deboraacharrette8652]

Last year our neighborhood got a block sale going and I made these but I put my things on them but put the beads back to back with the hook on top...they came out gorgeous and I sold them all...thank u for your tips!

[@thefyrefairy720]

I don't subscribe to many channels and I have no other craft channels that I watch. You are freaking awesome! I love your stuff. You make junk beautiful and are a woman after my own heart. Thanks!!!

[@louisehill3016]

Thank you for making this so much fun! It must be nice to not be such a perfectionist, really. I am and it sucks. I just want to start something but I need instructions before starting. Now thanks to you I have the info. I need for soldering. and the jewelery is great!

[@lynjeaful]

i never would have thought to use nail polish in my craftroom!! Thanks for this awesome tut!!

[@roxanne1616]

still enjoying your video. i needed to refresh my memory.yours are very pretty and simple.thanks for sharing

[@artticulation]

Wow great video I had no idea these would be so easy and inexpensive! Thanks for re posting this Lindsey!!!!

[@syrenawebb2605]

I'm going to use the marbles my daughter helped me paint for Rings first and see how those turn out. at the dollar store I could only find clear marbles that already had a sparkly sheen to them, but it still looked OK after we painted them! good idea! I'm going to by bails now also for necklaces!

[@tammygurl64]

Great video tutorial! I just bought tons of these for a different project but I love your magnet idea especially since I recently bought cute glass magnets at Officemax and they were NOT 50 cents. LOL! Thanks for sharing! 😃

[@1030Lexi]

You are awesome and funny!! Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@georgehebdon2756]

Hi from the UK. Are you as manic/scatty as you sound, I really love the your voice, so enthusiastic, typically a yank. Thanks for being you, 😀😀😀😀😀😎😎😎😎😎😎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lavenderrose73]

Hey, _I've_ got those pebble things, I got mine at Michael's! I totally love those, and those bales, I'd never heard of those, now I totally want some!

[@naylass4361]

Love your videos! So many craft videos are hard to stay focused on, but you work quickly and dont take a pause every few seconds to talk. You explain it as you go and your personality is so cheerful :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Lolita Lassiter thanks!

[@oobeeman]

You're a Gem ! my best find on youtube for months !!! Thank you :)

[@lorettayoung7220]

Thank you! I love Papermart, they have very nice products for great prices!

[@sueliles5319]

Excellent tutorial!! I am certainly going to try this. Thanks!!

[@sarojini763]

thank you for sharing wonderful ways of making beautiful marbles,

[@paulinejamez]

Brilliant!! Bought some in uk from a cheap shop, smaller than the ones you used, but am going to try making some in a while.. they look absolutely stunning.. and the fridge magnets is a fab idea. Cheap magnets btw, i bought a magnet photo holder, that i cut up to fit the back of the bead/pendant.. much cheaper than buying the magnets :)

[@bubberdoo4]

i enjoyed your video, you have great energy. Your very easy to understand. Thank you for sharing and making them, now i want to check out your other ones. I'm a fan. oh , and great idea too.

[@gailjackson4574]

Hi, I use to do a lot of jewelry and am just getting back into it. I am learning how to use wire wrap, which I hadn't done before. I am collecting my supplies now. I had previously subscribed to your channel, but I don't think I commented. I looked at a couple of other crafting channels, but I like yours because you are so lively, funny and bubble. Keep up the great job.

[@ArtBrain]

I've been wanting to scatter some of the glass rocks into my rock garden. Maybe I'll paint them with sparkly nail polish first! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@broella6493]

Very pretty! Love this!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

How about putting the broken beads pretty side up in bezel or empty pendant frame and filling with resin or epoxy? I saw some in Micheal's under the Mod-Podge brand, there were many in the package for $7.

[@charsbabushka]

These are very nice pieces. I may have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

great idea! I get the large bags at Micheals and color them to make dew drops so that would be really frugal, thanks for the tip!

[@KristieTaylorCreations]

This is such a neat idea!! Would be a great sleepover craft!

[@johntartaglia2672]

Any time I get the blues, I tune in for a dose of "Lindsay Inspiration." You can't be depressed after watching one of these tutorials. Lindsay has a monopoly on enthusiasm.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

[@legallyoverton]

You are so fun and I love this idea. thank you!

[@carmellecardinal5899]

By the way I really love your jewlery,,you have a good sense of humar

[@DeeLightfulCo]

I have tons of these marbles and what a great idea. I think you were flueing or gleathering. :) Thanks Lindsay! Dee

[@dmarti9876]

"El Cheapo Bead" ....haha...love it! Yes! OMG>>Glitter nail polish is sooooo very hard to remove. Totally loving the idea! Thank YOU! ~diane

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you can get them at craft stores or the craft isle at walmart. I keep my eyes open at a local salvage hardware store too so I can get them for pennies. They do require a heavy duty magnet.

[@GWest5068]

These are so cool...I love this idea...thank you so much for sharing this....now I got to run out to the $1 store and get the stones.......

[@Whatsername4224]

Love your videos! You would be so much fun to hang out and craft with!

[@BrokebutCreative]

Thank you, I also saw a great tutorial using crackle nail polish and they look awesome and so unique. Maybe you should try it... I never would have thought of some of this stuff. I love youtube crafters!

[@hkreations5108]

Put a clear polish on the flat side of the stone, let dry. Paint on black crackle, let dry. Add another coat of clear, let dry. Then add a glitter polish, dry, add similar shimmer polish to top of glitter and it turns out gorgeous!!!

BrokebutCreative right on I have three or four bottles of that weird nail polish that my daughters and myself have purchased, I am gonna try it out😀I just live getting on You Tube and learning about new crafts, so many creative minds out there

[@thefrugalcrafter]

they are in the isle with crafts, vases, frames and floral stuff but they also sell them at papermart:)

[@cathywebb7327]

Love your videos.

[@NICKYM26]

Love your tutorial and where did you get the ring's to put the stones on? I know I can make my own out of 18 guage wire, but this would be easier.

[@rubyshephard233]

Small sticker work very well too,along with clear nail polish.

[@Mukmomof2]

Omg do you inspire me to go to the basement that's where my craft room is lol. Keep the videos coming LOVE them..

[@Angelchakra]

I love the comments you add to the video afterwards :D so funny! 'Featherology ' great fun! :D

[@danaingraham9039]

Thank you my kids love it! Very fun craft.

[@karenknechtel43]

Hey Linsay, I love your videos, and this one is no different. Have you thought of crumpling the foil paper and then using a brayer to flatten the foil for a textured look?

[@patriciabarrett8907]

I'm sorry but know one shows you how to actually make the bracelet

[@bosvigos9165]

Great idea! You make everything look so easy, I just wish I wasn’t so distracted by your ‘lived in’ workspace though. 😉

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I used a silver nail polish that matched my solder really well but you can use any color!

[@Shaka448]

I take the glass pieces that have bad chunks missing and put them in my flower pots or water features. I also get prints from magazines to use sometimes.

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

I just found your videos. You are so talented and move and talk so fast it is just fun to watch. Looks like it will take me forever to get through all your tutorials there are so many.

[@zippypenny]

Thanks for the reply on soldering! I wanted to share... I found "40PCs Silver Tone leaf Glue on Bail" for $2.76 on a website called AliExpress. They don't seem to ship to all US states... but I live in Idaho and they ship here. Has saved me money on these craft ideas you inspire! Hope it can save money for you too.. : ) Love the ideas!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Gallivanting Val thanks!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Thanks Lindsay for another great video and more crafty ideas!😉

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@Cynergific]

Love this, and thanx for the vocabulary lesson. :)

[@jushaup426]

Great video, thanks! Where can I find those A.T.C. booklets?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

high temp hot glue will work for the magnets. For the jewlery I prefer to copper foil and solder them but you can glue them. Some glues will react with the foil so test a bit first. I always like an epoxy which is great for metal to glass.

[@jayem6535]

Thanks for your great tutorials! How to 'seal' those marbles after gluing the paper on?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Jaye M I coat it with a coat of silver nail polish over the paper.

[@SuperAngela6]

Cool ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@PinkPotatoChip]

These are so pretty. I saw another glass marble jewelry video that called for E6000 glue to be used to glue paper behind the marble. The warning on the box freaked me out so bad I was ready to forget about making these. I'm so glad I clicked your video and found out all I need is nail polish to get paper to stick.

[@prettypaperthings]

you only need nail Polish. glossy accents diamond glaze or mod podge for the paper. but she used e6000 for the metal backing to use as a pendant or on a magnet

[@prettypaperthings]

I sed e6000 for a few hours the first two times I used it then I read the label and got freaked out as well. I use it outside and with a mask I got at the door store. use an applicator so you don't touch it with your hands. it's a really good adhesive but I know your concern

[@heatherwatson8273]

Don't waste your damaged glass, file the backs smooth, sometimes a nail file will work or a small set of craft files will do the job but if it's really hard to file smooth then you will need a diamond file to cut through the glass, but if it's a deep glass air bubble then you won't be able to fix that, so use it for a different project, or glue a diamanté/rhinestone on top of the bubble. Air bubbles often happen when the glass is hot while these bubbles of glass are in the kiln.

[@NaNana-ey6jk]

Nail stickers are perfect for these. Make sure the stickers are flat.

[@alessiajoy2906]

Where do u purchase the magnets? & what do u price the gemstones at w/o the chain? TIA

[@RaquelSarangelloartist]

POLYESTER RESIN WORK WITH MANY YEARS , GREAT VIDEO.

[@sinrose501]

how did you make your ring..nice

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are decorative marbles for floral arrangements or fish tanks but they are brilliant for crafting!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have bought them cheaply at consumercrafts (they have ones you can thread beads on) and skybluepink (I used these in the video, look on the beads and findings page 6/$1) , I'd try them first but if you not see ones you like you can visit a local bead shop (if you have one) and buy them individually:) I check both websites and they are in stock! I think I will buy a gross (144) next time LOL!

[@yolandastanford9223]

Just beautiful!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I use black or silver nail polish. There is a silver at the dollar Tree and Family Dollar (LA Colors I think) that is very opaque and durable, in face I don't wear it because it is too hard to remove LOL! Perfect for crafts!

[@antoinettewebb5]

Love this idea so easy

[@roxanne1616]

really enjoy your video. these are great

[@henrycruiser]

I actually made one of these last night with the foil paper on back. I'm wondering how I finish the back now so that the foil doesn't rub off or become scratched. More nail polish or something else? Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@ThatzUneek]

Love your tuts! Do you cover the back of your glass stones?? If so, with what? If not them do you put another clear layer of polish? TFS

[@functionoflight]

Lovely idea, Lindsay. May I ask what adhesive you like to use to adhere the magnets? Thank you.

[@k192447]

criatividade é tudo,muito bom.

[@Nollala]

Such a great idea!!! TY!!! How do you finish the backs?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Nollala i put a coat of silver nail polish on the back

[@anaclaudia38]

Great idea. Thank you so much.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I used silver nil polish on the backs of mine, just give it pleanty of time to dry;)

[@karlaerbe6331]

Where do you order the ring settings?

[@adaperez4770]

I made mine with Mod podge and mini photos of my fiance and I for our upcoming wedding. They came out really nice

[@justmeashley7923]

Lindsay! How come the videos now don't have this cute into with you in it anymore? I love the old videos with your face and happiness in the opening! You should go back to that! You're so happy and expressive in these!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

it was a feature within youtube that they removed:(

[@justmeashley7923]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich wahhhh I really like them! Lol so funny.

[@ela1984maa2]

What kind of glue do you use to attach the bail? I heard that E6000 reacts to nail polish

[@barbaragriswold9894]

Hi I've tried so hard to find the backings for the pendants and also what gauge and type of cord for the necklace please help me find the equipment. Thank you please reply love your video

[@Moon-lj1td]

всё элементарное - просто!!! очень красиво и легко....

[@esmeraldaramos9921]

awesome I love this project

[@gloriagiefer3013]

Do you recommend using clear nail polish when working with paper, the reason I ask is I found some printed paper at Hobby lobby and I've used the e6000 glue and some pictures it works fine others it didn't I don't know if it was because of the grade of stainless steel bezel tray that I had

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Metals can interact with different glues. I haven't had an issue with the clear nail polish tho

[@chelsieboyd861]

I love your videos! I just found you by typing in "soldering for crafts" and found you. I love this video. I recently have used these to use them a a cabochons. A lot of people like it. I got a blue though :( When I went to pick them out I thought I wont use the white lol. Anyways I was wondering where do you get the back for the magnets?

[@mariad4183]

Beautiful, wow!! Love, Love, Love!! xoxo

[@saltwaterjoyskelleyjoyce-f8114]

Hi Lindsay, I was wondering if I could use a spray sealer on printed images of my own work, and adhere the image with matte medium to the cabs. do you think that would work? I dont want the images to smear or discolour. is there a certain type of paper I should use?

[@cheekypiper512]

Yes that would work.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

they are Memories in the Making by Leisure Arts, the date on the back said 2005 and the price tag was $2.99, I hope you can still find them:) Obviously I do not keep up with the latest products LOL...or I am a hoarder:)

[@kristinkavanaugh8630]

Hey, thx for this video! I’m looking for a glass pendant where both sides are fat. ( not one side fat, & the other flat). I have a necklace given to me that is a fat heart. Both sides rounded out. Any ideas where I can find such glass?😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Maybe fire .mountain gems
