Supplies
Sun, Moon & Stars Stamp Set (TAC) 
ClinkIts Art Glass
Clear Emboss Pad (Tsukineko~*TAC)
Gold Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (Suze Weinberg)

Instructions

1. Clean the piece of glass with alcohol and allow to dry.
2. Cover the stamp with clear embossing ink and set aside.
3. Coat the entire piece of glass with clear embossing ink and sprinkle with Gold UTEE.  Heat thoroughly until the powder melts.
4. Repeat until the surface of the glass is coated with a smooth, even layer of Gold UTEE.
5. Press the stamp into the Gold UTEE and leave it in place until the UTEE hardens and the stamp can be removed easily.
6. Allow the piece to cool completely.  Wrap wire around the top and bottom edges and create a loop through which you will string the cord.

Notes

If you don’t like the impression you make, you can reheat the UTEE until it becomes smooth.  You can then repeat the process.

Art glass becomes extremely hot and retains heat for quite a while.  Use caution.
