Glass Marble Illusion Pendant

Supplies

  • 94-5733 TierraCast Glue-on Heart Bails.
  • (17mm-19mm) Flat Backed Glass Marbles
  • Image (at least 5/8") printed out on coated presentation paper.
  • 5/8"  Round Paper Punch
  • ICE or similar 2-part epoxy resin.
  • 1/8"  ball chain and connectors
  • Small paintbrush

Directions

  1. Cut out images with paper punch.
  2. Mix small amount of epoxy resin. Using a cotton swab or small brush, apply a thin coat to the flat side of the glass bead. Place image face down on the bead and use a cotton swab to press it down onto the glass.
  3. Apply more resin over the back, being careful to not apply so much that it drips down the sides of the bead. Use smallest amount you can to give it a thorough coat.
  4. Position the bead next to the shim. Place the glue-on part of the bail on the back of the bead so that the top of the bail rests on the shim. Let cure for 24 hours.
  5. When the piece is dry it may be slightly rough around the edge of the paper. Use a file to smooth it. Hang on 18" length of ball chain.
