So as we head out for our celebrations tonight, I thought I'd whip up a cute-little-something I've been meaning to get around to, and since Santa brought me an awesome new printer for Christmas, I was able to design a glass tile necklace to wear today!
I know these are nothing new, but I'll give you the quick how-to, in case you haven't seen them already.
Glass Tile Pendant
What you'll need:
- Glass tile(s) - I got mine at Candytiles on Etsy
- Bail(s) - I got mine with my tiles, but bails are pretty readily available at most craft stores
- Mod Podge & Paintbrush
- Graphic to use (and scissors to trim it down)
- Amazing E6000 or other heavy-duty permanent adhesive
- A chain to wear your lovely creation
First of all, you need a graphic. You are welcome to use mine if you like, it's nothing fancy:
Mod Podge the back of your tile. This is very hard to illustrate, but here goes anyway:
Carefully place your graphic face down on the Mod Podge. I gave it a second coat afterward to make sure it's really stuck down.
Let it dry. Then, use your adhesive to attach the bail.
Try not to get that much adhesive. I didn't mean to overdo it, but you definitely don't need as much as what's shown here. Now, let that dry. Then - just string it on your chain, wear it and be merry!
Happy new year to you all - be safe and have fun tonight! Cheers to what awaits in 2012!
