Jewelry and Beading

Turn Fused Glass into Jewelry

So, once you start making glass cabs, what can you do with them? One very cool technique I like is beading around a cab. When I first started learning this technique, I glued the cab to interfacing, the same stuff I used when I used to sew. Now, however, there are a lot of products available just for this purpose, such as Stiff Stuff.

After beading around the glass cab, I then string up a beaded necklace strap, glue it to the back of the cab, and then cover the back with suede and stitch around it in a whip stitch to finish it off.
