How Do I Make Earrings?

I purchased black stones in Seattle to make a pair of earrings (which I know absolutely NOTHING about). I've got the earring stud and backing but what glue do I use?

I also use E6000 for my bead and lapidary projects. Strong stuff, but you need a little patience for it to set up. 5 minute epoxy works great, too, and fast!

I make alot of jewelry and always use E6000, it is a great glue.

Thanks for this question. I have an old bracelet from which two stones have fallen off, and I didn't have any idea of what type of glue to buy to glue them back on. I was getting ready to write in, but you beat me to it!

Do any of you out there know what the name is of that great jewelry glue is that comes with a super pointy, super tiny, long tip??? Post me note here on ThriftyFun. Thanks!

The best glue I have ever used for jewelry is called E6000. It's in a metal tube, and it's fantastic. You can get it at most craft stores.

The last couple times I went to the library they had several new books on jewelry making. If your library doesn't have any books about jewelry making go to a bookstore(just read the part you need, you don't have to buy it!).

Carolyn, Could you maybe find out at Hobby
Lobby? I hope you have one of these stores
in your town. I love shopping there. If not I'll
bet a Hobby store could tell you. J. B.
