Step 4The Gloss. . .

The Gloss. . .
Now that you have the pictures glued in place I am going to show you an interesting trick to creating a nice glossy finish on them that will keep them from peeling off and create a much more professional look.

Take the Glossy Accents embossing fluid (usually used for scrap booking and rubber stamp making) and place it over the picture, directly in the center. Then slowly squeeze and work the fluid around in a clockwise motion. Be sure not to touch the edges! If you see any air bubbles quickly use a tooth pick to pop them, the hole should fill in if you caught it in time. If you don't feel comfortable doing this on your beads just yet you could always practice the motion on parchment paper.

Let the embossing fluid dry in an area where it won't be touched or get dust on it, and leave it alone. the bottle says an hour, be conservative and wait two hours while you eat or watch a movie, being absolutely sure to leave the beads alone!
