Just an advice for those who care about their health: Don't "cook" anything in the oven except food. You don't want to be breathing toxic fumes resulting from melting plastic in the oven. You don't want chemicals and fumes released inside the oven and getting stuck on the oven walls, and then contaminating your food later.

@reneanderson8225 Ай бұрын

Agreed… I always do arts that use oven in the morning, that’s why I always clean the oven and air it out all day, till I need to start cooking.

Safety glasses is highly suggested here. I've done a few of these crafts, many times ❤️. While it only happened once, one of the gems popped into pieces when it hit the ice water. Shards did pop off. Fortunately, not far but ever since that, I wear some kind of eye protection. Love all of these ideas ❤

I purchase stone gems a long time ago and had a glass soap dispenser, so I wanted it to look nice. I put the gems at the bottom. What I didn’t realize is that after time I guess the different chemicals, the colors of the gems and the soap turned into some thing that gave my hands a chemical burn my hands are everything to me because I use them for all my jobs, my hands are so badly scarred because of it so if anybody does read this, please just don’t ever put them with soap.

@@santyago4 They definitely can be used as they come. But cooking them and then rapidly cooling them in the ice water subjects them to thermal shock and they fracture, giving a different look for the various art projects.

For the bathroom hack, I think it would have been better to cut out a piece of backer board and affix it to the wall first. Then add the glass stones. That way, if there’s ever the desire to change that decor, it will be easy to just remove the backer board. Otherwise, trying to remove all those glass stones from the actual wall will be torture.

@dirtywhitegirl 2 ай бұрын

I don't think your backer board idea will work out, it's easier said than done. Backer board is attached to the wall with a very strong adhesive (so it can hold the weight of the tile, or glass gems in this case) which will rip the drywall off if you try to remove it. If it's only screwed in, you'd have to find the screws under the glass gems and grout. Additionally, it would leave the edges of the backer board exposed, which would be unsightly and add another step & expense to this project... covering it with trim, etc.

in the 1970s they did this to marbles and they were called "Fried Marbles". my dad made me a necklace, from one he made. I still wear it. you can do this on a stovetop or gas grill.

I hope you are using separate pots, and safety glasses. 😬 Glass stones can crack & explode. Baking those in a food oven is a really bad ideaxbecause the compounds that are in decor stones aren't normally food safe, nor non toxic. You'd be better off with a separate vented craft specific oven, like maybe an old toaster oven Ina well ventilated area like a summer kitchen or a verandah. Some people might pick the wrong kind of 'gems' and end up baking plastic and start a fire. 🤬
