  • Use Ecoglue to seal the front and back side of the paper disk; allow to dry.
  • Use Ecoglue to attach the paper disk to the filigree, centering the design; allow to dry.
  • Use Ecoglue to attach the rhinestone chain to the image/filigree. Use the glass bezel to check the position. Allow to dry.
  • Use Ecoglue to attach the inverted glass bezel to the image/filigree.
