looking for good sources for a craft- things like beads, mosaic tiles,small stones etc.?
My daughter and I saw some really neat pictures/designs made with beads, glass stones, little colored rocks etc. We though it would be fun to make our own, but we started looking at stores, these things cost alot of money. I want to find someplace to get them cheap. I also need to know what kind of fixative or glue I can use that is easy to work with. Any crafty people out there who can tell me??
you can buy directly from Mosaic Mercantile online. I believe their pricing is far better than MisterArt, or any hobby store.
Another medium to consider is the broken tempered glass that they use for commerical doors & windows. It’s safety glass, so ir breaks in little pieces…neat. Usually coloured in a light aqua…but you could always get crafty and metal leaf the underside before you adhere it, the leaf will show through, giving it a totally different look. Now for the best part…talk to your local glass supply (companies that make shower doors, glass table tops, etc) and see if they will give you the stuff, or at least reserve it for you when an accident happens with a job. Chances are, you may be able to get it for free.
Silicone adhesives! Yup. Or the two part epoxy (really strong, and perhaps best suited for outside stuff).
Have fun!
