For this project, I wanted the heart to be relatively flat so I used the wire cutters to clip the backs off. You can leave them on if you like. You would have to use more adhesive and dry time would be longer. You would have to be careful that the adhesive doesn’t show. So I would move the jewelry pieces closer together and not leave space between items.

Hi again, Lynn. I’m enjoying your questions. I save the glass for future projects. I have a small collection.

Hi Lynn. I used a pair of normal wire cutters to clip off the excess metal. I also keep a pair of tweezers on hand for handling the tiny pieces and for precision placement. E6000 is my go too adhesive. I don’t really have specific jewelry making tools. But I do have a vast array of DIY tools that I use for a variety of projects.

Thanks Debra! I love your inspirational shares.

How wonderful! Thanks Beth!
