Personalized Glass Pendant with Faux Soldering

Personalized Glass DIY Pendant-2I just love personalized gifts.  A handmade, personalized gift is even more meaningful, in my opinion.   Even if you make it for yourself!  I used a picture of my daughter to make a sweet glass pendant that I absolutely love to wear.  You could easily change the picture to match any of your loves or interests.

DIY Collage PendanxtsSupplies needed to make your own DIY pendant:

Supplies NeededStep one:  Fussy cut an image from a picture.  Glue it onto a die cut and add other paper embellishments, like the wings and the word.

Step two:  Apply Dimensional Magic to the center of the image.  Press the glass tile firmly onto the image.  After a minute or so, turn it over and firmly press on the back of the paper to smooth out any air  bubbles that may be trapped.  Allow it to dry.
Step three:  Once it has dried, cut around the edges of the tile to remove the excess paper.

Step four:  Cut a strip of the memory foil tape, and wrap it around the edges of the tile.
Step five:  Use a bone folder or similar tool to firmly press down the foil.
Step six:  Glue a bail onto the back of the tile and finish with Dimensional Magic.

    • Hi Ruth! Thanks for the nice compliment and the great question! You have to glue the bail on. I like to use Aleene’s jewelry glue. I’m glad you like my project!

  5. What kind of bail did you use on this pendant, having hard time finding the glue on ones…? Your ideas and tips are just awesome…
