How to make a glass tear drop pendant
Create one-of-a-kind jewellery by combining your favourite pattern paper to some glass tear drops.
- Glass tear drop
- Clear adhesive Diamond glaze or Glossy Accents
- fine-tip scissors
- small paint brush (optional)
- patterned paper (this technique works better on paper than card stock as the paper can mold around the the shape of the tear drop.
1. Cut the paper a little bit bigger than the pendant.
2. Take your glass tear drop and apply a layer of Diamond Glaze with a brush. Use your fingers to mold the paper to the back of the glass tear drop. Wait until the Diamond glaze is dried and using your fine-tip scissors cut the paper to fit the tear drop.
3. Using your Diamond Glaze stick some paper to the back of the tear drop. Allow to dry and cut around to fit double checking that the edges are fixed down.
4. Re-pierce the top hole of the tear drop with a pin. Make sure the layers of Diamond Glaze is dry when you re-pierce the hole or you may tear the paper. After piercing seal the back with layer of Diamond Glaze. Allow to dry and add to your jewellery designs.
