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

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.

This is the final step to finish your piece.
