Default Marble Magnets

I'm addicted to these little marble magnets and would like to know your techniques. What is your process? What glue do you use? Do you use E6000 (potent smelling!!!!)? What kind of circle punch do you use? I have the CM circle punch, but it's getting a little annoying to use, always getting stuck!!! If you sell these at craft shows, do you sell in sets? If so, what type of packaging? There's quite a few tutorials on the Internet, but I just wanted to get your input. My first post!!! I just found this website last week. I don't stamp, but I do scrapbook. This is an awesome site. My process right now for these marble magnets: images from magazines, catalogs, etc. I use a glue stick to press on a circle of cardstock to the back of the image. Then I apply Mod Podge to the marble and then press on the image. Then when it's dry, I use E6000 to glue on the magnet, tack or tie tack. I notice a bit of shine on the image when it's dry. Also, I get a little overhang and have to cut that off. Any suggestions on how to do a better job, please let me know. Thanks! You ladies are awesome!

Do you mean like these ones? There is a tutorial on this site. http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/marblemagnets/

I made them as Christmas presents last year. Easy to make and they can look really effective.

I used dimensional magic / crystal effects and it turned out just fine.

My Sons school had them make these years ago for Father's day presents. They're verry cute.
