  3. Found you on tues tag along. Tip for the bubbles. I made them too awhile back but without magnets. Small pictures from magazine clippings, trimmed to fit the back of the glass then carefully use an old soft paint brush and paint Elmers white glue on the back of the paper. leave to dry at least 24 hours and don't get wet. you might have to use a bit of epoxy to glue on a magnet. Good luck.

  13. I LOVE making bubble magnets! The biggest key to success I have found is using glue that dries really clear, so that the image under the glass looks beautiful and not gummy. The best glue I have found that dries really clear and doesn't mar the images I found from a seller on etsy - Sun and Moon Crafts. I have a quickie tutorial on my blog at http://domiciledesigns.blogspot.com/2010/03/to-do-tuesday.html
    I have used a lot of collage images with scrapbook letters to spell out family members names and glued them to picture frames - They are COMPLETELY addictive, once you start, you can't stop. Also, the Dollar Tree carries clear glass in both round and square flattened marbles if you get tired of circles. You end up only being able to use about half of the ones from the Dollar Tree, but its a dollar for a pound of flattened marbles so its still cheaper than Michaels or JoAnns and I use the ones with scratches and bubbles as vase filler. Happy Crafting!!

  17. I made some of these ages ago...I think just plain white glue that dries clear will work great. Good luck!
