 Instructions

1. Start by removing the glass from your frame.

2. Lay out your glass marbles onto frame to see how many you want to color with alcohol ink.

3. Take the marbles you want to color and place in the zip lock bag.

4. Put gloves on and spray alcohol ink into bag. Move around so they get a good coat on them.

5. Take them out to dry on cardboard or you can lay them on the glass you took out of the frame.

6. After they dry, take poster board and cut it to fit your frame.  Secure it to your 11x14 frame.

7. Lay out your marbles again and create the pattern you want them to lay.

8. Glue marbles into frame using the Diamond Glaze.

9. Let dry for a couple of hours.
