CupofCloud Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 My wife and I traded in for these very interesting glass swag pieces with the a logo on them. I tried contacting the email address on the back. Does anyone know these people or know where we can order the glass pieces to make swag like this? it looks like its from a group called team leet geeks and from imperialgal and cgphreak Thank you for your help.

+BaylorGrad Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I don't know how to make one, but I know someone (a long-time cacher) who does. I see her work in just about every cache of hers. I'll message you. Quote Link to comment

+Too Tall John Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'd imagine this is how it's done. Quote Link to comment
CupofCloud Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thank you Too Tall John! This looks to be very close to how they are made. I know exactly where the dollar store sells them. Ill continue to try to find where I can get these small glass cylinders with the rounded top for a uniform size and two sides but if not the magnet idea looks promising Quote Link to comment
+Jayman11 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 They do look cool, but in the instructions those look good for indoor use, I would imagine needing some sort of coating on the outside to keep the paper from disintigrating from the elements. Maybe a little epoxy or something. Quote Link to comment

I think Walmart might carry it in their craft supplies section. Here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co...ref=pd_sbs_hg_6 Edited July 15, 2011 by Lone R Quote Link to comment
+gelfling6 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'm thinking something a little less glass, and more plastic.. Clear casting Epoxy Resin, also available at Michael's Arts & Crafts, they're putting a blob of it just before it hardens, over a paper disc, with the design. Easy Cast this is the same stuff they make encased items with (the old joke gag, fly ice, a spider in a crystal, etc.) it's a epoxy polymer, that sets as a clear solid. might be just what you're looking for.
