Labor of Love Centerpiece

Labor of Love Centerpiece

Created by: Amy Mickelson

Designer Tips

  • Size and cut an image to fit the glass tile.
  • Use a paintbrush to apply the Inkssentials™ Glossy Accents to seal and affix the image to back of the glass tile. Once dry seal the backside of the image.
  • Glue the pendant finding bail to the back, once the backside is dry.
  • Center the pendant on a 16-20" piece of wire and add beads of your choosing to each side.
  • Wrap the wire around the neck of the mason jar, spacing out beads around the neck. (The original beads shown are no longer available; alternates are suggested below.) Intertwine a piece of hemp cord through the wrapped wire and secure with a bow.
  • Add flowers, stalks of wheat or other dried plants and flowers for an end of summer or Labor Day centerpiece.
