    Default Drills for diamond painting eyes???


    Anyone ever think of using them for making jigs?
    Almost infinite colors, really cheap and good color/light effects.
    A drop of uv epoxy over them and instant eye.
    Maybe put them on a circle of white material or use white paint first. If I can find my wife's extras I'll try some to show off.

    Found my wife's extra drills so now to order some UV resin and try it out. More colors than in that box than I'd ever try. Lol Gonna try these 3 first.

    While I'm waiting on my resin to get her any ideas on how the best way to approach making the eyes would be?
    I am thinking use a silicone sheet, place drills on it and add a drop of resin then cure. Anyone have any other ideas?

    I think that basic technique on indented jig heads would be perfect but would have to try it.

    When you said drills, I was thinking like an electric drill, LOL. Not familiar with these, and the pic's not really show ing me what they are. Maybe a close-up of just one by itself would help me...

    Glad I wasn’t the only one confused.

    I've been using the faceted glass eyes for a long time but usually just super glue these into jigs with a recessed eye like my pill heads and a few other molds with recessed eyes. They reflect light very well, can see light reflect off the jigs from across the room. Have something called nail heads that are highly reflective as well. These are 4mm but have some in 3mm as well.
