How to Make Glass Image Pendants

Rectangular Glass Pendant

With just a few supplies, you can make a glass image pendant featuring any image that you like. The process is quick and several pendants can be finished in an afternoon, making it an easy way to produce a quick, last minute gift. It takes only a few steps to turn a photo into a professional looking pendant.

Things You'll Need

• Clear glass tile
• Diamond Glaze
• Patterned paper
• Wooden craft stick
• Aanraku bail (small or medium)
• X-Acto knife
• E-6000 glue
• Paper towel

Instructions

1. Place your glass tile on top of your patterned paper or image.

2. 

   Cut out the paper with your X-Acto knife, using the tile as a guide.

3. 

   Place a few drops of Diamond Glaze on your glass tile. Spread the glue, using a clean wooden craft stick.

4. Place your newly cut image on top of the glue, insuring that the printed side faces down.

5. Press the paper against the glass. This will cause any excess glue to seep out onto the sides of the glass. Wipe off excess with a clean towel. Allow the Diamond Glaze to dry.

6. Spread a thick layer of Diamond Glaze over the back of the pendant. Make this layer thick enough to provide a protective layer over the unprotected side of the paper. Allow the Diamond Glaze to dry.

7. 

   Apply E-6000 glue to the Aanraku bail base and press ir to the back of the pendant. Allow the glue to fully dry before handling.
