Instructions

(1) Stamp or create artwork and trim to fit your Memory Glass (1" x 3" , 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" and 2" x 2". Cut second piece of cardstock the same size.

(2) Melt Platinum UTEE™ in Melting Pot. Add one quarter scoop of UTEE Flex and let melt. Mix thoroughly.

(3) If creating a charm hanger, cut four inches (4") of wire. Place double sided tape on one side of cardstock. Sandwich one inch (1") of the wire between the two pieces of cardstock. This will help secure the wire.

(4) Now place the artwork with wire between two clean microscope slides.

(5) Holding the slides together, dip the 3 inch edge of the slides into the melted UTEE. As soon as the slide breaks the surface of the UTEE, remove from Melting pot. Wipe any dripping UTEE on the inner edge of the Melting Pot. There should only be about 1/8" of UTEE on the dipped edge of the slide. Dip the other two sides that do not have the wire. Be careful with your fingers! You've now "soldered" the first three edges of the slides.

(6) For the last edge (with the wire sticking out), bend the wire to the BACK of the slide. Dip into the Melting Pot; after removing it, immediately bend the wire back in place. This will take some practice! You can always fill in any edges by using your Kool Toolz Zspatula to drip in some melted UTEE.

(7) With wire tools, add on beads or charms to the wire hanger.

(8) Optional: Add rub-ons to the glass front, stickers, Adirondack® Acrylics™ or Stickles™.
