I have discovered the best way to glue glass gems. It’s Clear Gorilla Glue®! No smell, no mess, and they stay stuck!
The strength and versatility you have come to expect from Gorilla Glue is now available in an easy to use, crystal clear, non-foaming formula. Clear Gorilla Glue is incredibly strong and is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications and bonds virtually everything – exactly what we crafters want and need!
For example, look at the pretty vase that I made using purple and clear glass gems and a clear glass vase from the dollar store.
The glass gems give an ordinary vase a high-end look for a very small investment. These vases would make lovely centerpieces for a wedding reception or anniversary party.
And now look at these giant paper clips. Aren’t these the cutest!
I always have piles of receipts, invoices, notes on the desk in my office that I need to keep organized until they are filed and using these pretty paper clips helps keep me organized.
Here’s how I used Clear Gorilla Glue® to add the glass gems.
Following the instructions on the packaging, I used a spray bottle to dampen the vase and the paper clips.
Then I added a small amount of the Clear Gorilla Glue® to the gems, one at a time. Next I placed the gems where I wanted them. The instructions say to clamp the objects together so I used painter’s masking tape around the vase and clothespins for the clips.
If I were attaching glass pieces to a flat surface, I would lay heavy objects over the project.
There are so many wonderful projects to make with these inexpensive glass gems.
Mirrors, frames, sun catchers, garden markers, etc. And since Clear Gorilla Glue® is so incredibly strong and can be used for indoor and outdoor applications you now have the perfect glue so you can easily recreate your favorite home decor item, too!
Clear Gorilla Glue is:
- crystal clear – no visible globs of glue showing on our pretty projects!
- non-foaming – no mess!
- water resistant – perfect for all of our crafting needs!
- strong – reliable!
- easy to use – complete crafting projects with ease!
- bonds virtually everything! Including: wood, stone, metal, ceramic, foam & glass
Clear Gorilla Glue is now part of my crafting supply arsenal for sure!

I love gorilla glue its so reliable and dependable.
I have used Gorilla Glue in the past, but this is a new product for me. I will have to look for this next shopping trip.
I just used the wood glue version of Gorilla Glue for the first time and loved it! I’ve needed a new craft glue that holds well for the longest time. Looking for this one next time I’m in the store…
I used Gorilla Glue on a glass window out side and some came off and I am having to go back to fix it.
I wonder if because i painted some of the glass gems with nail polish and also glitter nail polish if that would have made them not adhere properly?
I also wonder about using Flex glue…it is suppose to be super strong and water resistant.
What do you think???
Hey Tom! I stumbled on this article today and it brought back SO many wonderful memories. As your neighbor and friend for 14 years I was lucky enough to remember sharing so many of these moments with your family, especially the highballs!! Your mom was a loving, caring gentle soul who was so attentive to even the neighbor kids, we always had something to eat! I know she is so proud of you. As for the broken wine bottle, I must of been swimming in the pool! Love to you all ♥️ Diane, aka: allon4
I used the clear Gorilla glue with round glass marbles and it did NOT hold. A week later I picked up my soap dish and it literally fell apart in my hands. This product does not work. Do not buy it for round glass marbles.
