Make a stained glass mosaic portrait from a photograph.

Step 3 Gluing your frame

Ok, you need to get a good craft glue, preferably something that dries clear and works on glass and wood. (And plastic or stone or whatever your frame is made of. A stone frame would be awesome. Heavy, but awesome.) You can use silicone for this step. I prefer using a silicone-like gel craft glue for this, but you could use a paste glue too.

I wouldn't recommend E6000 for this job, as it is light sensitive and will give out after a period of time hanging in your window. That would suck. Make sure your glue is not light sensitive.

Glue your glass into the back of your frame. It doesn't need to be a completely waterproof seal or anything, but you want it to STAY in there. I usually just put an even bead around the entire back. It will keep grout from bleeding through later, and makes it pretty darn sturdy.

Let your glue dry as long as it needs to. I usually let mine sit overnight.
