GlisGlis:
bottle bottom are good if thick enough

Pat B:
Go to your local glass company and get scraps. Lots of 1/4" glass there.

I work in stained glass as my day job, nice endless supply of arrowhead material...we even run large flakes for Dalle de Verre windows. Tempered glass is good for shelves and bathrooms. Even if you could flake tempered, it wouldn't have a reasonably sharp edge. It's specifically designed to not.

Besides Dalle flakes, I've used bottle bottoms, 1/8 double strength, and pre-cut then pressure flaked colored glass for arrowheads.

I love stained glass
1/8 double strength, is that like a stronger glass twice as hard to break.

I've gone to Walmart and bought cheap, colored plates.
