Never Enough Pendant Necklace Tutorial

Designer Tips

Clean the glass pieces.
Cut images, phrases and paper to fit the glass slide. Glue images and words to the paper.
Sandwich paper between the glass pieces and carefully wrap the glass with copper-foil tape. To create a tight seal, burnish the foil to the glass (a Sharpie pen handle makes a great burnishing tool).
Use soft solder to seal and finish your pendant. Helpful techniques can be found in our blog post (linked below) and in Lisa Bluhm's book Simple Soldered Jewelry and Accessories.
If you are using a jump ring for a hanging loop, add it now. (Choose a jump ring that is large enough to slide the cord through.) Allow the piece to cool.
Clean the pendant and remove any excess flux.
Attach crystals to cord with jump rings.
