I am so thrilled with this sweet photo pendant
I made with a kit from one of my sponsors, Photo
Jewelry Making Supplies! It was really easy and
and I thought I would show you how I did it but
the directions that are included make it super
easy too. Here is the kit I used.
The kit comes with absolutely everything you
need, even the toothpicks to do the stirring with. My
pendant uses the clear coating so this is a project just
for adults. The pendant is 17mm square and includes
a beautiful box chain to wear it on.
Pick your photo (I chose a picture of my youngest
but I'm going to do one for my other two as well) and
re-size it to fit your frame. You can use the
software that is included in the kit or
do it on your own.
Use a bit of the super glue to set the picture in
the frame, then follow the directions to mix together
the clear coating and the activator. Once it is mixed,
transfer it to another mixing cup and then slowly and
carefully pour it into the frame making sure
it doesn't overflow.
To make sure it is completely flat while
drying I put the pendant on a clip board so
the jump ring could hang off the edge.
Leave it to set for 24 - 48 hours.
The whole process couldn't be easier and I
had the hardest of the kits! If you don't want to
bother with the clear coating there are lots of
frame choices where you just slip the picture
into the frame behind a clear piece of plastic.
I think it would be really nice to use some
of your child's artwork as the photo too.
This is such a nice gift for Mothers Day but
they have lots of things that dads would like
so keep it in mind for Fathers Day too!
