By special request, here's a list of ways to use everyone's fave toy - Diamond glaze! Or otherwise known as Crystal Lacquer!
These are all I could come up with for now, so everyone feel free to post if I've missed something! lol
Ways to use Diamond Glaze (Crystal Lacquer)
- use to attach page elements (especially good with clear items): metals, vellum (note: it can show through a little bit), transparencies, fibers, flowers, plastic embellies, stickers that have lost their stick…etc…
- use to add any kind of water effect to a page: bubbles, water droplets, or just to make something look wet
- if you have a dull metal object you can make it look shiny again by adding a thin layer of glaze
- use to highlight designs on pattered paper (ex: flowers, vines, or even geometric figures – any area you may want to draw attention to, or add interest!)
- use on photo to make an object stand out
- use on stickers to give them dimension
- add some ink to change the color and it gives it a stained glass look
- use it with micro beads
- make clear epoxy type stickers with it
- fill conchos with it
- add it to acrylic paint to give it added sticking power (and a glossy shine) when painting metals
- drop it on a transparency the size of the picture you’re using and then hold it up and let it drip down. when it dries, put in front of your picture and it looks like the picture has like water down it - great for water park or slip-and-slide pics
- don’t want a knot/bow in a piece of ribbon or fiber to keep slipping out? Add a dot of glaze on the back – it dries clear, rarely (if ever) discolors, and holds like crazy!
