A look at what is currently available on eBay
Where do I find glasses for making charms/ miniatures?
I want to make charms based off of this picture: http://kuroneko13.deviantart.com/art/Fruity-Environment-129289074
I have searched and searched. All I have found are either parfait glasses and slightly fancy looking. I just want some basic looking glasses or how to make quality full clear glasses myself. Any suggestions?
I don't know whether you want to make miniature "charms," or to make "glasses" with perhaps those images on them... or what?
If you want to make a miniature in 3-D that looks like those characters (which were printed in 2-D), you could sculpt them in polymer clay (Fimo, Premo, Kato Polyclay, Cernit, various Sculpeys, etc) which is pretty common for miniature items for jewelry (and other things) ...see links below for lessons re making miniatures and figures, as well as tips on attaching mini's to bracelets, etc.
If however you want to use that image or one like it and transfer it to a drinking glass, that can be done with various types of transfer decals, or painted on freehand with glass paints, or printed onto a sheet of acetate that's dropped down into a glass, those things would all be quite different from making miniatures.
(You could also even sculpt the figures in bas relief with polymer clay then attach them to the fronts of drinking glasses, vases, etc., as well.)
For any of the polymer clay related things I mentioned, check out some of these pages at my polymer clay "encyclopedia" site:
