Thicketworks Studio | Make Awesome Glass Gauges and Clock Gems! @Thicketworks | Uploaded February 2018 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Making these Cool Glass Gauges and Clock Gems is a Blast!
Download your free Collage Sheet HERE: thicketworks.com/glass-gauges-and-clock-gems-fast-fun
Print the collage sheet on plain 8.5 x 11-inch white cardstock.
I prefer to work with laser prints - you know your printer best: if you suspect the ink might bleed, spray with a good quality sealer before proceeding.
Punch out the gauges, clock faces, dials and eyes using a 1-inch circle punch.
Apply a small drop of Triple Thick Gloss Glaze to the underside of a 1-inch glass gem.
Using a 'kissing' motion, distribute the Triple Thick onto the underside of second glass gem.
Working quickly, apply a printed cardstock disk to the underside of each glass gem.
Use a swirling motion, rub the cardstock disk against the adhesive to coat the entire image.
Press firmly in place with your fingers.
Using a bone folder or similar tool, firmly burnish the back of the cardstock to remove all air bubbles and pockets of adhesive.
