@Beadaholique Thank you so much!!! And I sure will let you know how it comes out :-)

@kelmarie1985 Hmmmm... honestly I am not sure since I have not worked with matte photo paper very much. I think you will have a better chance then if it was a high gloss. I would love to hear how it comes out, matte photo paper might be a good alternative to card stock.

@Beadaholique The photos I had printed are on matte photo paper...is that okay...?

@Beadaholique Because of this, I like to print out my photos on a card stock paper (non-glossy) and then proceed with my project. You can definitely give it a try with the photo printed from Walmart, but if it does not work, then try with the image printed on card stock. To reclaim your glass cabochon if you do go through all the steps and the photo does not work, you can remove any dried diamond glaze with nail polish remover. Best of luck!

@kelmarie1985 The diamond glaze is actually going to seal the image for you in addition to adhering the glass cabochon to it. One thing to be cautious of though is that some photo papers bleed badly when any type of liquid is applied to them - glue, sealant, mod podge, diamond glaze, resin, etc... Also, some photo papers do not "take" sealants or glazes well and actually can cause the glass cabochon to pop off.

Wonderful tutorial :-) Going to be making this very soon! I'm going to be using an image with photo paper that was printed at Walmart....will putting Mod Podge help protect the image when doing this project?

@jazfig You would not want to submerge this piece in water however it should be ok standing up to normal wear and tear. The image is being sealed and the glues/sealers are water resistant. You should not experience running or melting with normal wear. I would suggest taking off any piece of jewelry before showering or bathing.
can i use mod podge instead of crafters pick?

@007Saby I prefer Crafter's Pick since it is a bit thicker then Mod Podge and more "glue" like. However, I also believe there is more then 1 way to do most things and Mod Podge would probably work as well.
