Thank you Deborah

Thank you and you're welcome!

You have to put glue on several times... on the glass to skin... in the tray a few times and let it dry in between... several coats... read the tutorial on Lillyd's ... it is good advice... Just ignore the copy paper part.. And you have to really press well to seal it to insure no bubbles... when gluing glass onto paint skin and when gluing into tray again later

Thank you Elaine... I will be doing a short tutorial in the next week hopefully on jewelry making again...

Thank you

Yes! They have turtles and owls, I think! www.lillyds.com

Thank you Vicki!

Thank you Di... I have so many beautiful small pieces of paint I need to make more jewelry with... But I want to paint too!

Yes that's a problem, a luxury problem.....lol I would paint one day and make jewelry the other day ;o) No matter what and how you do it, it is beautiful I am already a big fan of your art ;o)

Thank you for watching Leda!

Thank you Denise! I appreciate you watching! thanks for the idea....

Thank you Bevie!

Thank you Sionmarc!

Thank you!

Thank you Camille! I hope you have as much fun as I do!

Mindy Terwilligar Thank you Mindy... I just saw this message! Lol

Thank you Jacqueline!

Patricia Grams Thank you Patricia! The next jewelry video will be shorter, I promise!!

Thank you! Will make another video in the future

Thank you Carolyn!

I will have to try that as well! Thanks for watching Bevie!

No... I use glass caboshons.... it is in the video of how I glue the glass to the dried skin and then cut out etc...

Thank you. I think scissors are much better than a cricut. You need to move glass cabochon around in the glue on the paint to "set" it and squeeze out any air bubbles. Any scissors work fine

Yes... Parchment paper works excellent. Thank you Larraine for watching!

Thank you Beverly... I just picked way too many pieces to do at one time for a video! I promise the next jewelry making video will be way better!

My favorite site for all in one purchase ( watch their tutorial too) and so that is glue, kit (get the kits... it is too much to keep up with to try to figure out mm size and which glass cabochon fits what tray.... so just go with a whole kit... very inexpensive... chains, glue, etc... www.lillyds.com

Thank you Patricia! Yes I keep the alcohol around me anyway!

If you watch the way I do this, it is much easier to glue your glass cabochon to the acrylic skin. Once it is dry, you cut around the piece of glass, then you can very easily peel off the acetate or whatever surface you had your acrylic skins adhered to. This makes for a much easier and tightier way to glue skins to the glass. If you are trying to work with a paper thin skin and trying to use glue to adhere it to the glass, you have a much harder situation to deal with. I think the way I explain makes sense. It was also on Lillyd's website in a tutorial. That is the way they explain gluing your glass to your plastic or paper or what have you. The only thing that won't peel off easily is paper or photo paper. So I just glue it straight into the tray attached to my skin, if that makes sense. Those types of surfaces are more porous and are not plastic enough to peel your skin off of

OK so I should have listened to your video all the way to the end before asking my question. You do take the acetate off.......

Yes.... to me this is by far the easiest method to use that I got from www.lillyds.com. It works beautifully this way!

Thank you! Laurence

Thank you so much Lilian... I am assuming you are talking about the butcher paper, which I love. Here is the link: It is a 30" X 50' roll www.amazon.com/dp/B00LH02P78/?ref=idea_lv_dp_

Please do NOT put your political opinions on my RU-vid posts

Tammy Berger Thank you!

They sell about the same... I haven't owned them long enough... but don't think they would turn green unless exposed to moisture

Actually no... but I am sealing the top with glue to a glass cabochon... no issues!

Opps, never mind, you showed it at the end of the video

Some you can and some you can't ...depends on the surface... some paper and photo papers, you cannot peel off the back of the skin.. thanks Terry!

It may be a bit too thick. It depends on the brand of jewelry you use. I use www.lillyds.com jewelry kits.. some of the trays are deeper. I know the ones from Michaels and Hobby Lobby are cheaper and very very shallow. As long as the glass cabochon that is glued to the canvas is glued into the tray below the edge of the metal part... if the canvas is above the edge of the metal tray, it won't seal in air tight with the glue (to prevent bubbles and moisture from getting in). I hope that makes sense

Thank you Kimberly. I purchase the kits and the glue from www.lillyds.com. I cannot promise that it won't tarnish. But the kit includes the tray, cabochon and chain. It is probably more like costume jewelry.

You need to glue it in with the glass cabochon over it to seal it or use resin

Avis Quinn yes.. I really think it does

I used the tray settings, cabochons and their glue from www.lillyds.com. I love it... they ship and it comes within 2 days usually!

Kathy Holcomb to

Yes... But you have to tape it down to something or it will crinkle up

Thank you

Try butcher paper.. It is in my Amazon recommendations link or if you have a Hobby Lobby you can use a 40% off coupon and get it in the banner paper rolls area... but this is the specific name of it www.amazon.com/dp/B00LH02P78/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.266KNCFOYHI9C

Also if you get sheet protectors like from an office supply store... those work really well.. glue cabochon on top of it or butcher paper and let it dry. Cut around the glass shape and the paper or plastic peels right off

Yes! Are you sure you cannot peal the plastic away? If it is thicker plastic and you can't remove it... you need to make sure that the paint that is glued to the bottom of the cabochon still lies BELOW the edge of the tray you are gluing it into. You do not want the paint or plastic exposed in any way.. or there will be moisture or possible air bubbles to get underneath the glass. I hope that makes sense

Guess what! I finally did get some of the skin off the plastic. So glad, since you've mentioned possible air bubbles! WHEW and YES, it makes sense, moisture will reveal itself in the plastic if there is any moisture left, Thank YOU!@@SandraLett

Glad it worked!!

Thank you... I tried small scissors... I have large hands and a bit of arthritis... Larger scissors seem to work better for me

Skins are made from drips of acrylic pours... I have over 200 videos you can watch on acrylic pours

No... the skins stick to eachother super easy and are extremely thin. It actually makes your life much easier to glue the glass cabochon on first... then you have a guide to cut around the glass super easy!

ah got it lol ty

They are available at office supply stores and walmart ... You can put a piece of paper in between two layers of plastic to protect it... for office proposals, school work etc... But they are great to pour left over paints on

I have them....they have a little plastic binder to hold the pages between them. Thank you!!!!

Thank you. I actually have some here. Wish they were bigger.

No... the rings are about 10, the necklace around $20. Bookmarks $15. Keychain $20 and bracelet around $25.. If they buy a set, I may take off $5 or so... that is usually at festivals.

Moisture or not enough pressure being applied to where there are air pockets. You have to press really hard and firm and make sure all air bubbles are pressed out

I love www.lillyds.com They have the glue and everything you need as a kit and a great tutorial that is where I learned to do this

Set- $45 for Ring, earrings and necklace Earrings-8 Ring-12 Necklace-25 Bookmark-12 Bracelet-20 Thank you for watching Doreen!

I think this is the one you might be looking for.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yoSIKEEw1B0.html and if it isn't that one... Once all those are dried I do a follow up video do the horse silhouettes in video numbered (39)

Thank you! www.lillyds.com and I also use their specific glue too

I use www.lillyds.com Great kits, glue and a tutorial on their website... Very reasonably priced!

Definitely.... Sometimes it is almost paper thin. The key is to glue your glass cabochon down on the surface of the skin. Allow it to dry overnight. Then cut it out around the edge of the glass.. Then if you have something like butcher or parchment paper, it will peel off the back. If it is on something like paper that is porous, you cannot get that off... Either way, you then glue it down into your tray setting. You just need to make sure the thickness of the paint is not so thick that you see the edge over the tray it lays in, if that makes sense

@@SandraLett Got it. Thanks Sandra

I imagine so Roberta...may dry quickly

There are probably plenty on Ebay and Etsy... the problem is , it is so much easier when you can get the whole kit... the tray and cabochon together.. when you purchase separately, you have to know the exact size of the cabochon to match the tray which is very confusing

I use Lilly Glaze glue from www.lillyds.com where I get the jewelry. It is not thick and sticky like E6000, it has no odor, its waterbased and cleans up easy with alcohol

Thank you

Bookmarks, Earrings - $10, Ring - $12, Keychain - $15, Necklace - $15-20 and Bracelet - $25

Thank you! I was wondering is the integrity of the jewelry good, so you don't have to worry about returns?

@@lilycessna3077 I make sure people know it is not sterling silver or fine jewelry

I am not sure... Did you use Lillys Glue? I have not used any other brand... And maybe not enough pressure pushing the cabochons down on the paint? I do not know... I have had a few, but I have done dozens and dozens of pieces... I press really really firm though

No sorry, i didnt followed all your instructions because i did not use lillyds glue but e6000 and diamond glaze. And full of bubbles. I cant order lillys glue because it will cost 50.00 bucks to have it here in Canada. 40.00 for shipping.

Wow! That is outrageous... I have E6000 and have never used it... It should work the same, you would think... I will hopefully do another video soon.

Sometimes they appears a few days later. It seams to interfear with my paint skin i think. Yes please do an other video with e6000 please please. I want to start a little business but i cant because of those bubbles.

Lisa Albert Lisa I also live in Canada and also have the same problem, did you ever figure out a solution?

Thank you! Facebook facebook.com/sandra.parker.trumpfheller/media_set?set=a.10214899602940477.1073741902.1139672806&type=3

Yes, gluing the paint skins first, and then gluing it into the tray

It is $20... I only have a few left

@@SandraLett I apologize, I'm just getting started pouring, painting, decoupage, wood burning and now jewelry making (lol) with the skins, how exciting! Just curious! I love all that you do and has taught me quite a bit thank you!

You're welcome

I get all the jewelry making kits and their glue from www.lillyds.com

Thank you!

I personally use the jewelry kits from www.lillyds.com and I use their glue (they have a good tutorial too).. I have not had that problem... Maybe check them out

The necklaces are usually about 15. Rings, Earrings, bookmarks are 10. Bracelet is 25 and Keychain is 20

Thank you Courtney... You can go to the gear at the bottom right and speed up the video and just turn the volume down

@@SandraLett I am impressed with how you respond to negative comments (although there are so few) but nonetheless - well done. It is baffling to me that someone's level of self importance is so great that they would feel the need to tell you that your process was inconvenient for them. Just move on then. Why would you need to say something unkind? So kudos to you Sandra. You just keep being you.

@@MaCheriMarie thank you ..I truly appreciate it

IAMGiftbearer Thank you!!
