Materials Needed:

- Glass Gems in Assorted Colors
- Heavy Gauge Jewelry Wire
- Pointed scissors
- Glass Gems in Assorted Colors (Available from Wholesalers USA)
- E6000 Adhesive (Available from Wholesalers USA)
Instructions:
1. Wash the glassware and glass gems with soap and water and make sure all glass is completely dry.
2. Arrange glass gems in desired pattern.
3. Apply a small amount of E6000 to the back of each glass gem and press firmly into place.
4. Hold gem in place for a few seconds. Allow each side of the glassware to dry before continuing on to the next side to avoid sliding of the gems.
5. When glass gems are dry, begin wrapping wire around the gem at the top. Continue making a pattern with the wire by wrapping around the next gem, then the next, until all are wrapped. Cut off the extra wire.
6. Using pointed scissors, tuck both ends of the wire under the glass gems. A drop of adhesive can be used to hold the wire in place, if desired.
