Glass Tiles

[CricutLady]

Does anyone know where to get 4x4 inch clear glass tiles for glass etching? I'm wanting clear glass not ceramic tiles.
Thanks for any help in finding these,

I imagine any hardware store can cut the glass for you into 4"x 4" squares.

Float glass (the kind the hardware store carries) is inexpensive and very easy to cut, but you will need to do something with the cut edges, as they are very sharp. The best option would depend on how many you want and how you plan to use them.

Emery Cloth would work to smooth out the edges of the cut glass.

Yes, you just need to take off the burr on the top and bottom edges, you don't need to worry about the whole cut. I was thinking about bevels too, they don't have a finished edge, but smoother than as-cut. http://www.delphiglass.com/index.cfm?pa ... sid=125596

i just bought some 4x4 glass tiles yesterday at lowes.

Saw some today at Home Depot but they were colored on the bottom and they only came in beige and olive. A very different look, but might look nice etched if your decor was one of those colors.

Home depot here sells clear glass tiles... I had to look in the department by where they sold nails and such...

Thanks everyone, i'll check Lowes next time i'm in town. I didn't think they had the clear glass tiles but will check.
