Yes. Same side with gems (like the pic in the post) so that it will hang or prop up against window properly. Like if it’s set on a window sill. A dish gives it some dimension that makes it interesting. You can also use seashells, sea glass, driftwood, glass beads (always use glass as plastic ones will fade). Your class can play around with the gems first to see what they like before committing to glue it down. NOTE: Use E-6000 VERY sparingly when gluing the glass to the frame…don’t lay out a bead b/c when the glue shrinks, it could crack the glass! I need to edit my post. I actually had that happen. So just use small dots of glue along the surface. E-6000 is quite strong so it doesn’t take much to bond the glass to the frame.

Probably a silly question.☺️

Yes, the glass beads are glued to the surface of the glass. I use E-6000 b/c it dries clear. You need just a tiny drop of glue on the back, it’s very sticky! ~Kristen

Ah…thanks for your comment. Yes, at MIAG I try to introduce crafts that are inexpensive and so simple, anyone can do it. And it’s pretty, too!
