Make an Easy Peasey
Pendant You will need: a few Light Craft Tiles; white craft glue or PVA; metallic mica powder or metallic acrylic paint (optional); a fairly stiff backing paper or card; a pendant bail, cord or ribbon.

|
1. Arrange some small Light Craft
Tiles to form a pendant shape. Roughly mark the shape of your pendant on some stiff backing paper.
|
2. You are going to stick the tiles to
the backing paper. You need white glue for this, PVA or white craft glue
is ideal. You can colour the glue by mixing mica powder or acrylic paint,
but it isn't necessary, it just looks nicer if the glue is going to show
between tiles.

|
3. Smear the glue over the backing
paper in roughly the shape of your pendant. Don't make the glue layer too thick.
|
4. Carefully place your tiles into the
bed of glue. The glue will dry transparent unless you have added a
coloured powder or paint. Avoid getting glue on the tile surface.
|
|
5. When the glue is thoroughly dry,
trim off the excess paper and glue. Drill a small hole for a pendant pinch bail. If you don't have a bail you can just glue cord or ribbon to the backing paper. Examples below of pendants with pinch bail (left), leaf bail (right) and an eyelet screw (middle)
