Glass Crafts — Tile Pendant Necklace
Posted on Oct 16, 2012
While browsing a copy of <a href="http://molliemakes.themakingspot.com/">"Mollie Makes"</a> magazine, I discovered a gallery of designs and crafts by one of my favorite fabric designers Jennifer Paganelli of <a href="http://www.sisboom.com/">Sis Boom Fabrics</a>. Deciding one of her sky-blue prints would brighten up my winter wardrobe, I decided to transform the magazine photograph into a unique glass craft. The tile pendant is easy to make and great for crafters that are new to jewelry design. <b>Materials & Tools:</b> - Glass tile - Bail (attaches the pendant to the necklace chain) - Image from a magazine - Scissors - Mod Podge - Nail file - E6000 glue - Toothpick - Necklace chain or ribbon
Step 1
Cut a small square about the size of your tile from a magazine or photo. Don't worry about the size being exact. We will be filing the ends eventually.
Step 2
Dot Mod Podge on top of your image and then press to the glass tile. The image will show out of your glass tile. Press and allow to dry 4-5 minutes. Once dry, file the ends by dragging file downwards so that the ends press into the tile.
Step 3
Spread E6000 glue on the back of the magazine clip with a toothpick (so that the glue doesn't stick to your fingers). Allow to dry another 4-5 minutes. This E6000 seals the back of the pendant to make it more water- and dirt-proof.
Step 4
Once dry, dab a spot of E6000 glue on the back of the bail and attach to back of the pendant. Press and allow to dry 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Attach the pendant to the necklace chain or ribbon.
