Another glass block....front and back...the picts don't do the faux skins justice.....one is lite on and one off...the alligator is actually a deep gorgeous red , not color is it showing....

Did you have to glue this or does it have an adhesive back?

tried contact glue but no go so hot glued it being careful not to get it on the back lit paper of the ostrich print which is actually printed on the back side of the paper so the front is gloss and you can clean it....the alligator has a very thin backing but still you have to use the heavy duty wonder under ironed on the back..the tooled faux leather has too thick fuzzy backing so could never get it to cut threw..hated it because I loved the faux tooled leather....you can look at the different materials on https://philtexfabrics.com and you can get some good picts of the prints for turning into an svg by right clicking on the pict and saving.....great work you do !!!
