Hi, I'm Rita from Diamond Tech, I'm here to show you just how easy it is to use Jennifer's Mosaics Wheeled Glass Nippers
Our wheeled glass nipper is a great mosaic tool, they work perfectly on all types of glass tile,
stained glass, mirror and vitreous tiles.
Begin by comfortable holding the wheeled glass nipper in your hand.
If you squeeze, you'll notice that the blades don't meet. If they met, they would be crushing the tile instead of nipping the tile.
Also, rotating blades means they do not wear in one place, so you'll get a whole lot of nipping before you'll have to replace these blades.
Okay, lets make some cuts using the wheeled glass nippers. First make sure you are wearing your safety glasses. Square rectangles are the easiest shapes to cut.
First place the wheeled glass nippers in your hand comfortably.
Then you'll gonna place the tile between the blades of the wheeled glass nipper, 3/4 of the way across the surface of the tile and nip.
You've got two rectangles,
Now to make a square, simply nip the rectangle in half and you've got two little squares.
Next, lets cut some triangles. Start with a square tile, place the blades right in the middle on a diagonal and press firmly.
Random shapes can be cut by simply rotating the blades at an angle,
And as the name says, randomly nip your tile.
Lets cut a circle.
The first thing I'd like to do is to draw the circle on my tile.
I usually do that with a Sharpie marker because they right off of the tile once you are finished.
Next, I usually begin by nipping off the edges or the corners of the tile, just a firm nip.
And then the rest of it, you just take the nippers and you bite away ar the edge. Then you continue to bite until you have your circle
