Maggie,

Did you get glass microscope slides? Some sb company was making an acrylic or plastic version for use in scrapbooks.

I think that Martha Stewart Living online sells the copper tape because a couple of years ago she offered 2 crafts that used it (a votive candle holder & coasters)

I got glass, although I'm still waiting for them to arrive in the mail! I can't wait to get them! maggie

I got my slides this past weekend and went to Home Depot to find the tape. Couldn't find it though I scoured every aisle with special attention in the plumbing section. Don't know what's up with that...

BUT I did find silver tape (4.29) and copper tape (7.29) at Michaels in the stained class section.

ok... I ordered some slides also! They haven't come yet
but - I was wondering, are they easy to size down? I want to make some square ones also. Has anyone tried to cut them ? I think I have some tile nippers in the garage somewhere....

I also found my copper tape at the LCS they also had gold & brass colors in the stained glass dept. I bought copper wire to match & will use that to make the loop at the top.

I liked the idea of making mini ornaments that someone mentioned earlier on the board. Fun with family photos too!
