How to make a glass tile pendant

Hello there!

Long time since my last post in there :)

I'd like to share today how to make this great glass tile pendant. It's easy as 1-2-3! :)



To make it, you will need an image, settings for glass tile, glaze, and super glue (I prefer gel super glue).



First, cut of an image. Image should be printed on laser printer on 80-100 lb heavy paper 



Then, apply a little bit of glaze on the back side of the glass tile. Well... maybe not a little bit but more :) So it shouldn't be a very thin layer.




Spread it evenly without air bubbles inside. Place the image with face side on the glaze and gently press it from center to the edges. Be sure, that there is no airy spots between glaze and paper. Also, paper should slide on the glaze when you touch it. It means that right amount of glaze applied. Be sure that edges of the paper are also with no air between glaze and the image.

Set aside the glass tile for a couple of hours while the glaze become firm. Then, just trim extra paper on the sides and remove extra glaze from the glass.



Put a little bit of super glue in the setting.



And place the glass tile with paper side down.



And your pendant is ready :)
