Where can I buy those tiny glass domes to make jewelry and magnets? Michael's doesn't carry them anymore!?
They look like tiny paperweights. You glue a photo to the back so that it shows through the dome, then add a magnet or bail for a necklace. I know I saw them at Michael's earlier this summer, but they are re-merchandising that area and they are now gone.
Note: although they look very similar, these are not the little glass gems you can buy to fill a vase or use around candles. The ones intended for jewelry are smoother and more clear.
I've worked at both Michael's and A.C. Moore, in their jewelry sections. I've been making and selling jewelry for about 7 years and I've taught jewelry classes at A.C. Moore. I've never seen what you're describing in the bead sections of either store.
You may check the mosaic sections of these stores and also Hobby Lobby for a smooth glass piece that would work for your project. Or they may be in the section for kids crafts. I did some restocking in those areas and seems there were kits for teens contained that type of glass.
Also check on-line jewelry catalogs such as Fire Mountain.
Hope this helps.
Whoa! Look what I found!
