Make a Pendant Necklace Using Stained Glass and Shells.
I love to wear artistic Boho necklaces, so I decided to create some of my own. I created this tutorial so that you can easily follow my step by step instructions on how I created these small, beautiful works of art made from the natural materials, glass and shells.
Supplies
You will need the following tools and components:
Stained glass grinder (optional) but great for smoothing edges
SG cutter and pliers
Glass nippers
Metal Pendant blanks
Stained Glass
Shell pieces
Epoxy
Sculpting tools
Gel Stain
Necklace Cord
Keychain with clasp
How to Design and Assemble a Shell Flower and Glass Pendant
I found that putting the directions on a collage with corresponding instructions will help to guide you through the step by steps that I use to create a free spirited piece. I briefly go over how to cut stained glass for the second project, but I would suggest that you take a detailed tutorial on cutting stained glass, found on Instructables, for a more in-depth insight into this craft.
How to Epoxy and Stain Piece
This is the final step to finish your piece.
ENJOY!
And viola - you can now make your own beautiful necklaces for every Holiday and season! I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial as much as I enjoyed sharing my craft with you!
