Glue your image to the flat side of the marble, facing up. I like to press down on the image to evenly distribute the glue. Wait a few minutes to dry.

You can print your own images but I've had the best luck with glossy paper. Printer paper seems to absorb the glue and it won't look as neat.

Putz Meyer. I read your comment on your attempt to correct the term of marbles. Depending on where these are purchased the name of the product varys. In my local dollar store they are called jems. I have purchased these at a whole sale outlet and they called them MARBLES. And a marble loses it name to sphere at approximate 4"
