I purchased a bag of clear glass cabochons recently from one of our local dollar stores and my original plan was to glue some funky paper to the backs of them, but now you've inspired me to try this marbeling technique! Thanks! I may make magnets out of some, and wire-wrap others for jewelry. What a great tutorial - the black polish in the back really made the marbeling 'pop' - it almost gives them a cosmic-like effect 😊

Thank you so much for saying that! I love that you are watching them! Mona

They are beautiful!

I'm so glad you have the tools and are having fun!! Thanks for watching!!

What a fab idea will try this thank you for sharing

the first one without the pink nail polish looks like stars and galaxies on space from faraway which is TOTALLY cool! luved it!

To dip the stone use a kids dart suction cup arrow

I love it! I will definitely be making these.

I love this idea and I have tired the first design you had, and now I have to try this one. Thanks for sharing..

Love this way you use the nail polish in water, The directions I had were to paint the nail polish directly on the stones, but I could never make them look the way I wanted them to look. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for making it so much easier and now I can do it! Awesome video.

I love the one that looks like the moon & earth combined. Brilliant!

I love these ideas! I have been wanting to do your ideas for so long and finally got the tools for it! Thanks so much! I am having so much fun!

You are very welcome. Thanks for the great idea!

Really cool idea!!! I’m always looking for new crafts to do with my granddaughter. She’s going to love this one!!!

From one crafter to another you rock ! What a crazy lovely idea, trying this now. Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you

Beautiful!

Great idea!!! Thanks!

Hi Paulina - If yo watch my latest video - the Owl Artwork Pendant you can see I just glue a jewelry bail to it and you could do the same thing with the glass stones and you can apply a ring blank the same way. Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you like my crafts! Mona

My 7 yr old says that these look REALLY COOL!

Hi Vicki - I normally don't on the glass stone, but I do on the resin. I'll have to try it on the glass ones too. Thanks for the tip. Mona

Thanks for actually doing this!!!!

Thanks!

Loved the Marbled Nail Polish Glass Stones Craft!!!!! Great ideas!!! I will try a few to see how mine turns out!!!! Thanks, you were Great!!!!

Loved the vidieo.

Great way to use up old polish

I love it simple and relaxing activity ❤️

Love them

Love your videos direct to the point , simple & inspiring ❤️

I love all your videos. You have such a creative personality

So pretty! I love your videos!

Yeah, it kind of does!

love it!

Now I know what to do with all my nail polishes that are sitting on my dresser. Thank you for such a great idea! Here's to "Pet Rocks". : )

I am really surprised with this idea! They look so nice. Thank you for sharing.

The marbling is put onto the back side of the stone (the flat side), she just put a clear topcoat on the back of the stone before, then after she put the marble on she painted a background color to fill in any gaps

If you build up the bulls eye like you would to actually water marble your nails, you can make really pretty, intricate designs that will show through the glass. I've made some with a flower design, some of lines, swirls, points, petals - all kinds of designs. It helps if you use a smaller cup, room temperature water, and find polish that will spread in the water pretty well. that way you have circles inside of circles of color to mess with rather than random dots all across the top. Its really fun and the pieces turn out so beautiful and unique!

awesome!!!

Cool video!

I really love it and I absolutely have to give us a try thank you for taking time to show us

Very cool way to use the bottom of a bottle of polish.

looks so cool where do you get the stones

The way I hold my stones is to use reusable poster putty globbed on the end of a toothpick or bamboo skewer and the stick it to the top of the stone to dip it....works for me.

LOVE it, I was just wondering, could you use glitter nail polish, or would that not be suitable.

You can use any nail polish you want or have on hand.

Thank you! I was doing it the opposite way! Painting the metal base, then gluing the glass! Kept messing up my designs! Thanks!

Very nice. Thank you for the tutorial.

If you want your design to open (spread) rather than sit on surface you should condition your water (Borax works great). Also use room temp water. Warm/hot water= paint dries too fast and it will stick to the tool when distorting the paint drops. Your paint will only open if you allow it enough room. Using a drinking cup, the h2o surface circumference is very small, your pattern will be tight. More than 4, MAYBE 5 drops will not open/spread easily. Gently blow paint w/ drink straw to help spread

Pencil or bamboo skewer plus modeling clay. no need for hard to hold pliers.

Thank you so much Latifah!! Let me know how it turns out! Mona

добра идея поздравления

Very good, clumsy mind

All kinds of tongs you can use and keep only for crafting :)

Cool❤

Very nice! Where do you find the large glass stones from?

thanks for this great idea. how do you attach the finished stone to the ring? what glue did you use? What makes the nail polish bond tight enough to the ring bale that it doesn't tear apart later? OR do you have another video that shows all the above? With this new youtube format, not all the videos show up & hard to go back through them to find a particular video.

i know this video is older but a tip when water marbeling, i refrigerate water for a couple hours before marbeling and it helps the paint to actually spread out more evenly

Cute

Awesome

for lapidary you stick a cabochon blank on a small dowel with sealing wax. Then you can grind, sand, polish with a nice handle. That might work here too instead of pliers.

try pouring little puddles of different colord paint around eachother on a paper plate and then swirl it with a toothpik just as u would do the marble art in the water it works great

I thought you said you put a clear coat of nail polish on bottom before putting the colors…also where do u get the nail polish. Very cool look. Thanks!

I havent read all your comments but was wondering , do you put a clear coat on top of the glass cabs? I tried it and it came out really nice, brought out the colors. Just in case thought i would mention it.

did you use the sinful colours professional nail polish's? x

Hi craftKlach! Its Paulina, and i would like you to to be inspired by me to make another video! I maybe want you to make it be based on how to apply the ring; (from you're previous video) or how to make it a necklace, small-sized earings or maybe even a bracelet! I love the awsome glass stones and how u made it interesting! I sure will subscribe =D!!! Keep up the AWSOME crafts!

You could make a tape tab/handle to put on top of stone for better control.

Lol you made most things fall. But great video!!

If you use room temperature water the varnish will marble better.

These look SO good, but I'm having a problem with my polish drying before I can swirl it (no matter how fast I get to the swirling part!) The polish I'm using it not the fast dry polish either. Also (on the few I did do some spots on the polish on the stone bubbles up or got really thick) Any suggestions?

do you put the marble on the front or the back of the stone? and if so is the solid black color painted over the marble? i got confused

Just a point on water marbling your water was too cold hence why it didn't spread :) try room temp water for the next time

the second one looks like a galaxy print, it reminds me of the galaxy marble from men in black

I've tried and had some great success but sometimes the nail polish sinks to the bottom of the cup of water. Do you know why?Also, I've painted other colors on the back that kinda matched the colors on the stone. It worked well!I've done paper beads and this is a new fun craft! Thanks!

What do You make w/them after you're done? Would You wire wrap the glass cabochons? How would You make them into pendants?

sticky tack on the top of the stone with a stick to hold

Awesome tutorial. I was wondering, I bought a bag of these stones but many of them either have small dings on the surface or a finish that is sort of reminiscent of gasolene residue in water puddles. Is there any way to remove those or are the affected gems pretty much useless?

Not sure what you were asking.

what does the water have

spraycanann could you tell us the proportion of the borax to the water, please? How much borax to how much water? thanks

the last rock you showed looks like a galaxey

Hi there.. love your video's... and really love this Idea.. I tried this and the results are great,,,,, but I noticed that some of my creations, have like little water bubbles, that eventually pop and then it makes a hole in my nail polish... any ideas on what I am doing wrong?????? thanks Nancy

Does anybody know how to get rid of the silver shimmer on clear cabochons/glass gemstones/glasspebbles?? As you can't see through them very clearly

Just a suggestion. I used masking tape or you could try painters tape on the top surface that you want left clean and attached a loop of tape to that to hold it.

Hi, where do you buy your glass stones? All I can seem to find online is the perfectly round thinner glass stones. I want the fat misshapen slightly ones. Thanks

Do you think the small stones are too heavy for earrings?

Ware can I find the large discs

how do u make the glass stones

The black one looks like galaxy!L!

I love the idea! Just a tip, though. The polish colors you were using were not good for marbling. If you use ones that spread over the water better you can get some really great results.

Thanks for watching!

buy at a craft store...OR dollar store...they come several in a bag!! Cheap!

Also don't hold the nail polish brush to high up, because the polish sinks to the bottom

Hi can you tell me the stones terms measured, thanks

hi can I suggest you use blue tack and pencil to stick the glass on like a suckered pad..then dip glass in your Polish design and stand pencil in a glass to dry...put your tools down girlie.

How do u change the pic of with. The video is

you should do designs on it.... Like snow flakes, snowmen, hearts, smiley faces!! ;)) :)) :D ;D CraftKlatch

it might be worth while using scotch tape on the glass marbles ibstead of plyers...

My polish spreads out too much when l stir it with a toothpick all the polish sticks to it
