Glass Heart Pendant

It seems like magic, but glass magnifies anything placed underneath it. In this jewelry making craft project by Maria Nerius, a tiny bird fills a glass heart to create a pretty pendant.

Materials:

• Glass heart glob (found in stain glass supplies)
• Scraps of decorative paper
• Clear drying glue or laminate glue
• Scissors
• Bail
   

Instructions:

1. Puddle a small amount of a clear glue or laminate glue onto decorative paper. This project used scraps from a decorative glittery paper with a small bird image.
    
2. Place your glass glob onto the puddle making sure you are happy with the placement. The glass magnifies anything underneath it. This project centered on the bird.
    
3. Press down firmly, wiping away any excess glue that might squeeze out of the edges. Repeat for as many pendants as you want. If possible place a book on top of your pendants as they dry to keep the paper flat. Allow to dry.
    
4. Trim excess paper away from the pendant. Adhere a jewelry bail to back of pendant and allow to dry.
