Our new Halloween Lace Pendant Tutorial is actually 2 tutorials in one spot!
We will first focus on the under the glass tutorial.
Materials needed:
1 glass cabochon- we used 30x40mm oval
1 pendant tray- we used 30x40mm oval in antique copper
1 necklace strand- we used bead bar chain in antique copper
1 tube E6000 glue
1 pair scissors
Clear nail polish- optional
Lace ribbon- we used in black and orange colors
Here we go!
1. Start with your glass cabochon flat side up towards you.
2. Apply a thick layer of E6000 glue over entire flat surface of glass cabochon.
3. Place the glass, flat side down, onto the desired area of your lace ribbon. Press firmly to ensure any air bubbles are released from under the glass. Now, protect glass with a washcloth and stack weight on top as it dries. We like to let it dry under the leg of a heavy chair. Allow 10-20 minutes to dry.
4. Once dry, cut the ribbon around the glass. This does not have to be perfect since it will be going into a pendant tray.
5. This next step is optional WE like to apply a layer of clear nail polish to the bottom of pendant trays. This just guarantees that the plating on the tray wont compromise the color of the fabric. Let dry.
6. Now, apply E6000 glue to the bottom of the tray. You do not need to cover the entire bottom of tray. Once glass is added, the glue will push itself to cover entire bottom of tray.
7. Set the glass into the tray. Press firmly and immediately wipe away any excess glue that oozes out the sides.
8. Once dry, add a necklace chain, and you are done!
This is a look at both styles of the finished pendants. On the left is lace ribbon under the glass. On the right, lace ribbon over the glass.
Second Tutorial!!!
Halloween Lace Ribbon Over-The-Glass Pendant Necklace
Materials needed:
1 glass cabochon- we used 30x40mm oval
1 pendant tray- we used 30x40mm oval in antique copper
1 necklace strand- we used rolo loop chain in antique copper
1 tube E6000 glue
1 pair scissors
Lace ribbon- we used in black and orange colors
Here we go!
1. Apply a layer of E6000 glue over the domed side of the glass cabochon.
2. Place the glass, domed glue side down, onto the lace ribbon. Place it on the interior of the ribbon, not the pretty lace side of the ribbon. Allow to dry.
3. Now this part gets tricky. Section by section, apply a small dab of E6000 to the flat side of the glass, and then press the ribbon down and hold until dry. You want the ribbon to be as flat as possible with no creases. It still needs to be able to fit into the pendant tray. It wont be pretty once complete, but you won't see that side. Feel free to cut away any excess ribbon once glue is dry and ribbon is secure.
4. Apply an ample amount of E6000 into tray.
5. Press pendant in to tray. Be sure to press firmly. Cover with a washcloth for protection, and then stack weight on top and allow to dry.
6. Once dry, add your necklace chain, and you are done!
