Glass tile pendants, earrings and magnets are so fun and easy to make!
For a great how-to video and tutorials please see:

For supplies I get all of the items needed here:

My tips:
1) Use 50 lb or heavier matte photo or presentation paper
2) Let ink dry overnight; test with one tile to see if your ink runs, if it does try Krylon clear matte acrylic spray to seal (I do not recommend Micro Glaze; this is a wax so the water based Diamond or Sun & Moon Glaze will not stick well.) You can also try baking at 250ยบ for 15 minutes to seal the ink.
3) Press lightly or the glaze will squish out and you will get a silvery crazing.
