I saw these really cool canvas bags at Michaels last night. They are $1 and are insulated. The only problem is that the stitching was weak where the strap attached to the bag. I can only sew by hand, so I don't know how hard it would be to push a needle through the (nylon?) strap. I thought they were really cool and can be personalized with paint or whatever.

Okay so two questions. Is there anything besides Diamond Glaze to make the paper stick to the back of the tile? Also, what do you use to make the bail stick? Would medium size bail work? Sorry, just trying to figure this out and I'd like to make necklaces and magnets.

Also, do you put the glaze/glue between the tile and the picture or on the back of the picture? I swear, bare with me as there IS hope for me yet......

Thank all

Any clear sylicone (is that how it's spelled?) will work. Our Craft stores here, Michael's included, don't sell Diamond glaze but I got something called "3 In 1 Advanced Craft Glue" and it works Perfectly the same way Diamond Glaze would.

hey there

Wondering if anyone can help me find bails for the necklaces I'm making. I have the ribbon necklaces that have one strand of organza and 2 strands of cord...the bails I got at JoAnns and Hobby Lobby don't seem to want to go ON them! what bails have you found that fit slide easily onto your necklace?

thanks!

The glass connection on etsy has large size bails - can't remember the cost, but I got some and they fit my organza/cord necklaces perfectly. They are awesome quick with shipping too!

Karen & Corinna, thanks for the comments on the cards. I was worring they wouldn't go over. I usually make a small scrapbook, but we have about 40 cabins and I just didn't have the time.
thanks!!

I have the same problem. I bought a bunch of those necklaces on ebay, but my bails didn't fit Sunandmooncrafts.com also have the larger ones. Good Luck!

My best talent is my job, I am a nurse so I work a lot and my job we rotate call....so time is going to be a major factor for me. I have a motto that tape fixes anything, lol. I am leaning hard towards just simple goody bags, due to our budget we are only doing one baggie per stateroom since there are around 30 on our FE.

I had Christmas Ornaments made with our cruise meet logo on them from artscow.com. They were about $2 each, I waited until I had a discount coupon. No specific talent required except use of a computer and ownership of a credit card! lol
