After 20 minutes, I carefully, (the gems and pan are very hot) let them drop into a bowl of ice water I had ready for them, and you can put the sheet on top of bowl with ice…just to be safe.
A couple of them didn’t make the bowl…ouch, they were hot! I used the darker round blue for the males guitar. I used the flat green gems for their bodies.
For the mouth I used stones of same color that didn’t sparkle. I used the flat ones for the bodies and mouths of the frogs. I used the round gems for their guitars.
Above is in the rose garden….nice pond in there would look nice. I must add…adding all those gems around the guitar was time consuming because of the application with the glue…must be a better way. I added the following pictures so you can see the end result of the gems when they have been put in the oven.
Thank you so much for taking a look at my frogs…follow me at: kelleysdiycreations.wordpress.com
Above are some of the packages Walmart carries. They have also mixed purple, black and white mix, tan mix, pink mix, they have more, just can’t remember all. The small black net bags were under a dollar….these larger under 5.00. Thank you for looking! See more of my projects at : kelleysdiy.wordpress.com Thank you!
