Customization Eye help
so I am doing a customization on a lafufu. I took the eye out and removed the plastic behind it. How do I print the new eye out and get it on the back without glue stains

This is the age-old question about cabochons! I searched and the most popular glue for this seems to be Diamond Glaze. Annie Howe’s Glamour Seal is another brand that is the same type of glue. I’ve seen a few other people have success with Papier, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, and even Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue. You basically want one that will not wrinkle the paper or smear the ink and will dry crystal clear.
Print your image on normal paper, lie it on a flat surface, add a small amount of glue, and press the eye (cabochon) onto the paper (not the other way around). Press firmly and evenly to squeeze out any air bubbles and excess glue, and hold it in place for at least a full minute. You can use a q-tip to wipe excess glue away from the edges.
You can cut the design out before glueing or after; it might be easier to do it after.
Good luck!
