DIY Glass Tile Necklace

Want to know how to make a glass tile pendant? They're super easy – you can do this! Here's a brief tutorial.


First gather your supplies – you'll need:

–a glass tile
–a bail (that's the hook that goes on the back)
–paper or fabric design
–diamond glaze and a small paintbrush
–superglue
–a necklace to hang it on

First take your tile, and trace it onto your paper. Then cut it out slightly inside the lines with an exacto knife or scissors. Hold it up with your tile on top of it to check the size – you don't want any paper sticking out behind the edge. 

Next squirt your diamond glaze on the back of the tile – about pea size. Use a small paintbrush to spread it out – enough to coat the back of the tile but not so much that it's going to ooze.

Then while the diamond glaze is still wet set your paper face-down onto it. Rub the paper to get a really good seal. That will prevent bubbles being seen through the glass.

Let dry for 5-10 minutes or longer. Then squirt diamond glaze on the back of the paper and spread it out with a paintbrush to seal in your paper. Let dry several hours. Then using superglue, glue your bails to the back.

Finally use the necklace to hang on the glass tile. Now, it becomes the perfect personalized jewelry that you can put it on.
