|
Step 1:
Open the jar of Glamour Glue and apply
a small amount to the tile with the paintbrush.
Spread evenly and adhere
the decorative paper to it
decorative side facing up. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 2:
Flatten gently but
thoroughly using a burnisher
or your finger. Use a piece of
wax or parchment paper
to prevent damaging the
paper. Be sure the paper is
flat on the tile and no
bubbles remain between
the tile and the paper. Let dry completely. If the tile is cool to the tough, the glue is not dry yet. If your glue is not dry, the paper may rip :o( |
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 3:
Turn the tile upside down
and using a fresh,
sharp blade,
carefully trim the excess paper
using firm but
gentle pressure. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 4:
Using the Glamour Glaze,
evenly cover the trimmed paper-
covered Scrabble tile
with a generous amount,
spreading it gently with a
toothpick. The toothpick
may also be used to remove
any bubbles.
If you have glass beads, now is the time to add them. Work quickly by putting a little glaze on the tip of your toothpick and pick up a few beads by touching the toothpick to the glass beads. Work quickly because the glaze is setting! Gently press the glass into the glaze where you want to place them.
Add a second coat of glaze, if desired. But only do this once the first coat has thoroughly dried. If you're adding a Swarovski crystal, you'll want to add it after the last coat, and wait until the glaze sets a bit or the crystal will sink to the bottom of the glaze.

Step 5:
Once thoroughly dried,
use an emory board or fine
sandpaper and gently sand
the edges of the tile to
remove any imperfections,
if needed. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 6:
Now it’s time to attach
the bail. Open the tube of E6000 adhesive.
Using a toothpick, apply
a small amount of the
adhesive to the back of
the bail. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 7:
Simply press the bail
on the back of the tile,
center it, and let dry
about 2-4 hours before handling, and 24 hours before wearing. |
