TIPS:

* Apply alcohol inks to the fragments before you glue the images on.

* You can use rubbing alcohol to remove or shape the alcohol ink to your specifications.

* Seal the images with Mod Podge or EcoGlue.

* Glue the image onto the fragment before completely cutting out. Use a hobby knife to cut the exact shape. Put a piece of cardboard under the piece you're cutting to avoid scratching your work surface.

* To make the piece more interesting, glue a second image onto the backs of the first images. Seal with Mod Podge.

* Use flat-nose pliers to manipulate the ends of the jump ring to fit perfectly together.
