Use the E6000 glue to adhere the glass gems to the scrapbook paper circles. 

This part is really important, because there are imperfections in the glass gems, the E6000 smooths them out and turns the glass gem into the perfect magnifying glass.

Step Four:


Use a small pair of scissors to trim the circles on the back so they are flush with the glass gems. This step is extra...I just like the finished product more if it the paper is flush to the glass gem.

Step Five:


After trimming the paper, use a paintbrush and the Mod Podge to coat the back of the paper. This step is also extra, but keeps the E6000 from staining through the scrapbook paper when adhering the magnet.

Just brush a layer of Mod Podge on the backside of all the gems. It's just one extra step that makes these look better and last longer. Then let the Mod Podge dry for about an hour.

Step Six:


Finally it's time to adhere the magnets to the back. Rare Earth Magnets are strong and powerful...but very brittle, so gluing them to gems makes them last longer and not break. 

It gives you something to hold onto when moving the magnet and has super strength. Use a dot of E6000 glue and stick a magnet on the back. Keep the glass gems away from each other so the magnets don't attract each other during the curing process. 

Let them dry again for at least 4 hours...or overnight.
