How to Make Sea Glass Art:
Arrange your sea glass pieces on the base surface first until you have your design the way you want it. Then when you are ready, start gluing piece by piece, applying a small amount of glue to the back of each piece of sea glass and press it onto the base surface. Be careful not to use too much glue, to avoid the glue to ooze out
What glue to use to Make Sea Glass Art:
You can use a fast clear drying glue such as hot glue. Or if you want the option to re-position the pieces, choose a slow drying glue such as Aleene’s Tacky Glue (Amazon), for example. This glue can take a couple of days to completely dry but it’s non toxic and very strong. Another non-toxic, non-odor glue or rather adhesive is Clear Silicon (Amazon). Some artists use clear silicon to create sea glass mosaics.
