I could have sworn that somewhere on the forums here somehone had made a simple charm using a scrabble tile and some kind of a glaze over top...anyhow, I can't find it. :p

I really want to make some simple tile charms for some necklaces and bracelets I'm making but I don't know what glue or glaze to use. I hear a lot about Diamond Glaze, but my Michael's doesn't have any. Is there a good replacement for that for sealing and giving a resin like finish?

I like the stampin up clear effects or glossy accents. I used glossy accents last time and I think I like it better.

Has anyone used Envirotex? I used to use it when making polymer clay items.

If you mount your hardware beforehand, you can actually dip your tile into it up to the loop and it would be sealed on all sides. I haven't done it with these tiles, but it worked very well for me.

I think it was La who made them or something like it

The pictures are gone but I think this is the thread (http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40238&highlight=necklace) about it.

LOL Thanks for that La. I was going to use Modge Podge in a pinch but I'll wait until I find diamond glaze somewhere then....we have very humid summers too. :)

Good to know, I would never have thought of that and then :cursing: when it stuck together. Thanks for this!
