This is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry, and I wear it often. I used a picture of my daughter to make a sweet photo glass pendant that I absolutely love to wear. You could easily change the picture to match any of your loves or interests. Wouldn’t this make an awesome Valentine’s Day gift?

Supplies Needed:
- Glass Tile Rectangle
- Scrapbook Paper or assorted die cuts
- Dimensional Magic
- Memory Foil Tape
- Bail
- Aleene’s Jewelry Glue
To make your own Faux Soldered Photo Glass Pendant:
Step one: Fussy cut an image from a picture. Glue it onto a die cut and add other paper embellishments, like the wings and the word.
Step two: Apply Dimensional Magic to the center of the image. Press the glass tile firmly onto the image. After a minute or so, turn it over and firmly press on the back of the paper to smooth out any air bubbles that may be trapped. Allow it to dry.
Step three: Once it has dried, cut around the edges of the tile to remove the excess paper.
Step five: Use a bone folder or similar tool to firmly press down the foil.
Step six: Glue a bail onto the back of the tile and finish with Dimensional Magic.

So you just use the memory foil tape and don’t have to solder?! I LOVE it and your pendants look amazing. Well done and thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you! Yes, this tape is awesome. I’ve always wanted to learn how to solder, but until then, this is how I do it!
