Easy Pendants

In November, my husband and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary by taking a weekend trip to Savannah. There is a shop there that I loved called The Paris Market. On the checkout counter they had a bowl full of French copper pieces. They had great little designs on them and I knew I could figure out something to do with them so I bought 4. I first thought I would make them into rings, but then decided they'd be great for pendants.

So, I bought some copper bails and glued them to the back of the copper piece with E6000. This was such an easy way to create a unique pendant...

I'm sure you've seen lots of tutorials for making Scrabble tile pendants. But, just for fun, here's another one...

You'll need:

Scrabble tiles

scrapbook paper or other paper with graphics 

Diamond Glaze or other adhesive and sealer

E6000 glue

jewelry findings

bail

I started by printing out a map of France that I found on the Graphics Fairy website & gathered my supplies...

I figured out what part of the map I wanted to show and traced around the Scrabble tile...

I cut it out making sure to cut inside the lines I drew so the paper wouldn't be too large for the tile...

Next, I inked the edges of the paper. I also inked the sides and top edges of the Scrabble tile so if my paper was cut too small you wouldn't notice...

I adhered the paper to the tile using Diamond Glaze. I also used the Diamond Glaze on top of the paper as a sealer.

Once the Diamond Glaze was dry, I added the jewelry finding. I added it to a corner using E6000 and bent it around the edge of the tile...

I finished the pendant by gluing a copper bail to the back using E6000...

I made another pendant using scrapbook paper and another one using another section of the paper I printed out...

I liked how the one that says, "Map of Paris" looks without having to add anything to it. So, I just added the bail and was done...

The jewelry findings were really easy to cut, so I cut one of them in half and then cut one of the halves in half and added them to the tile with the scrapbook paper...

So, don't throw away your old Scrabble games...

or, if you do, keep the tiles!!! Or, send them to me!!!
