Here are some Diamond Glaze ideas for you all!A BIG Bunch of Diamond Glaze tips

* To avoid bubbles in DG hold the bottle upsidedown for at least 30
seconds.

*Seal your favorite techniques like Paper Mosaic, Stained glass.or
paper applique to keep the cut papers from lifting.

* Attach embellishments like raffia, plastic, beads ,metal or plastic
mesh, Mizuhiki cord, charms, glass, shells, ribbon,wood, buttons or
basically anything that you can attach with white or hot glues

* Use DG to create a dimensional look on any image printed or stamped
on paper. Apply directly from the bottle for height or use a small
paint brush and layer.

*DG will make colors appear deeper especially watercolored and markers

*DG can be mixed with many other craft products and art supplies like
watercolor paints, dyes, glitters, Pearl Ex, any type of acrylic paints
or mediums and any dry pigments.

* DG makes a nice clear thin glaze for a variety of products including
cooked poly clays, water color, paper beads,shrink plastic, metal and
embossed papers.

* Create your own glazes by mixing DG with dye reinker and Pearl Ex.
This mix looks great on acetate
and other plastics and even on embossed papers

*DG makes fabulous Crytallina papers. Lay a small piece of tissue paper
on a craft sheet. Mix DG with a small amount of dye reinker or acrylic
paint. To this mix sprinkle and mix in Pearl Ex. Paint this mixture on
the tissue add a bit of glitter or more Pearl EX. Let dry then peel off
the craft sheet. the paper is see through but very tough, great for
collage.

*DG is great for decopauge simply glue down the pieces with DG then
apply two coats of DG over the top.

* DG can be used as a resin substitute in jewelry pieces or bottle
caps. Add a photo copy or sticker to the bottom of a bezel or bottle
cap. Fill with DG wait 24 hours. Dg will be clear for depth up to 1/4
inch.

*Create cool recycled plastics using DG over alcohol inks. Try this,
cut a shape out of thick or heavy blister packaging. Apply alcohol inks
to the plastic to change the color. Once dry apply a layer of DG or
drizzle it wildly over the piece to create texture. Punch a small hole
and attach it to a card with a brad or eyelet.

*Dress up old Christmas ornaments by dipping them in DG then rolling in
glitter, glass beads or ROXs. Clear Roxs mixed with glitter and clear
glass beads looks like snow.

*The new super thin applicator top is great for writing with DG then
apply glitter or beads.
