Directions on how to stamp on microscope slides????? please

[awayoflife]

I was looking at the galleries and saw the neatiest Christmas ornaments made out of stamped Microscope slides and was wondering if anyone else has made them and if they would mind explaining how to do this. I think these would make good gifts as well as look nice on my tree. I just can't believe its getting closier and closier to Christmas. I know how slow I work so thats why I would like to start as soon as I can.


Thank you all

you can stamp the image with staz on on ancient page ink. Then on the other side you can color it with paint or gallexy markers. Or if you stamp an image on paper and color it you can attach the micrscope slide on top with diamond glaze. then you could put copper tape on the edges.

Thank you so much for the tips !!! I hope that I can make it work.

great tips so far. you can also add the redline tape that su sells (forget the real name its the double stick tape) around the edge and add beads to it. I have a couple posted in my gallery as well.

I stamped mine with staz on ink for my design images...let that dry...then you can paint the back with jacquard paints...or alcohol inks, etc. You can glue small rhinestones onto the front. I've carefully attached circle clips with fibers to the top.

Where do you get the slides?

Here is where I got mine....at first I bought glass and then found out about plastic ones....they seemed a little safer. I've purchased from him and they are good quality.
