  • Choose the image you would like to use. Place a medium layer of Mod Podge on the top.

  • While the Mod Podge is still fluid, place the print to the back side of the cabochon. Smooth thoroughly and wipe away excess medium that comes out the sides.
    Repeat with the remaining cabochons and let dry. The Mod Podge will dry clear.

  • Use detail scissors to trim the excess image from around the cabochon. Seal any edges that peel up as needed. Let dry for several hours before gluing into the bezel with jewelry glue.
