Homemade Tile Pendants
Last night we had a craft program on making glass tile pendants. It was really fun! A lot of patrons were asking me for directions and where I got supplies, so I figured I would post all the info here on our blog. They were really inexpensive and easy to make, and they don’t look ‘homemade’ so they would make a great gift. Supplies: 1 inch glass tiles – I bought these in bulk on http://www.etsy.com/. Search ‘glass tiles’ under supplies. Bails – I also bought these on http://www.etsy.com/. Search ‘bails’ under supplies. E6000 glue (or any strong clear drying craft glue) – You can find these at any craft store. Scrapbook paper or photographs – You can buy scrapbook paper at any craft store. Pencils (for tracing the tile) Modge Podge or Diamond Glue (This is optional. We skipped this step at the program, but you can use either glue to seal on your paper images on the back of the tile.) Scissors Directions: 1. Use a tile to choose an image from either scrapbook paper or one of your personal photos. Trace the tile over the image you want and cut it out. *** If you are using a photograph - test the glue on a corner or unwanted photo FIRST in case it blurs or ruins the image!*** 2. Apply E6000 glue over the textured side of the glass, place image on the textured side of the glass so you can see the image through the non textured side of glass. Work out air bubbles by applying pressure. 3. Trim any excess paper off with scissors. 4. Attach bail with E6000, to the back of pendant. Let dry. *** If you want you can apply diamond glaze or modge podge to the back of the glass pendant to protect it and give it a glossy look.*** Some finished products from our program:
