I do more than diamond dots, but I bought these last year, finished the dots, this year, and need to glaze them before spring!

I wasn’t too sure I’d like diamond dots(z) when they first came out. I thought they looked plasticky and cheap.

But they got prettier. I ordered a cheapo set from Temu, just to see. It laid on the shelf under the tv for at least a year.

My best friend, Laura, came to visit, and I offered my kit to her. She had wanted to try it and was immediately hooked. She taught my granddaughter. They sat with their heads together working. I watched You Tube craft videos.

On another visit, Laura brought butterfly plant stakes for she and Vivi to work on. These dots weren’t plastiky. They were tiny round flat back crystals. Well, now!

It occurred to me that these dots, or drills as they are called, would be beautiful on Christmas ornaments! I searched on line. Bingo! I found 2-sided transparent Christmas ornaments and these snowflakes! I think they are dazzling!

So now I glaze, or seal them, to keep those little crystals in place. The sealant can be found online, too. Last year I used satin glaze medium, what I had on hand, to seal them, and it dulled the crystals and stayed tacky so long, I couldn’t give them as gifts.

I’ll share the Christmas ornaments the next time I work on them.
