Slide Glass & Frames

Microscope slide glass (and other small, pre-cut glass sizes) with matching metal frames for making easy pendants, charms or ornaments.

 


 
1" Square Glass, Paper Punch and Frames

1" x 1" inchies-sized pre-cut glass and metal frames (and a 1" square paper punch). The glass is heavier (thicker) than microscope slides so is less likely to crack if you use these as charm bracelet links. The metal frames have a jump ring at 2 sides, so they can be used as pendants (with a loop at the bottom for a bauble) or linked together for a bracelet. The frames come in "polished chrome", "black patina" and "antique copper" colors (each package has 3 frames — in one color per package). (The samples I'm holding in the photos are "antique copper.") The glass is available clear or frosted (the second photo shows the frosted version) and comes in a sturdy plastic box with 24 pieces (enough for 12 pendants).

The paper punch is a good one: heavy and sharp. Hint: turn the punch upside-down when cutting so you can see through the punch hole to help with placement.

Note: the metal frames close with a tab that is similar to a brad (a heavy duty one), so they work best when only opened and closed once (you can also buy the glass without these metal frames and "bind" the edges with metal foil tapes, which would also give you more color options).

1" Square Thin Glass & Plexiglass Set

This is a little odd but is a workable substitute for the clear glass for the 1" Square Frames, above (that goes out of stock at the manufacturer fairly often).

The plexiglass is 1/8" thick and sadly is too thick to fit 2 pieces in the frames. (The blue plastic is just to protect the plexi from getting scratched and can easily be peeled off.) However, you can use one piece of plexi on one side and a piece (or two) of the thin glass on the other. They won't quite fill the depth of the frame, but as they fit snugly, they won't move around (or you could add a piece of chipboard or cardboard (in the middle of your collage sandwich) to fill in (you could also use the thin glass on both sides if you use this tack).

The glass is very thin. You'll receive 6 pieces of glass and 3 pieces of plexiglass (the glass will be wrapped and packed in a plastic "tin" to protect it in transit).

Glass and "Memory" Frames: Multiple Sizes

Pre-cut glass and metal frames for 3 sizes of pendants (or ornaments): 1-1/2" x 1-1/2", 2" x 2" and 1" x 3" (standard microscope-slide size). The frames are in "antique copper" color (each package has 3 frames). The 1" x 3" frames are now available in "black patina" color, too. The glass is clear and comes in a sturdy plastic box with 24 pieces (enough for 12 pendants).

Note: the metal frames close with a tab that is similar to a brad (a heavy duty one), so they work best when only opened and closed once (you can also buy the glass without these metal frames and "bind" the edges with metal foil tapes, which would also give you more color options).

The Square Santa Ornaments Collage Sheets have images sized to fit the 2" x 2" frames.

The "Seaside Slides" Collage Sheet above has images sized to fit the 1" x 3" frames.

Slide Mailers

Blank slide mailers for holding 1 ("Single"), 2 ("Double") or 4 slides. They're meant for safely shipping microscope slides, but the little cut-outs make lovely little archways or windows.

These are available with or without glass slides (one slide per niche).

The samples at left and below are by Sarah Whitmire and Lenna Andrews. Both samples use metal foil tapes to bind the edges of the glass slides.
