Look at this pretty glass tile pendant! Do you think it’s difficult to make? 
No! It’s easy as 1-2-3!
First of all, you need an image. If you’d like to make a pendant with hearts, you can download free digital collage which I’m happy to share.
The collage sheet is 4×6 inches, 300 dpi. It can be download there. If the link doesn’t work, please leave a comment and I’ll fix it. Please, don’t forget to come back and download it. Print it on heavy paper (80-100 lb) on laser printer.
NOTE: Please keep in mind, that the collage sheet can not be sold as a collage in digital or printed form.
To make the pendant, you will need an image, settings for glass tile, glaze, and super glue (I prefer gel super glue).
I usually buy supplies in SunAndMoonKits shop on Etsy. Gina who runs the shop is very nice and responsive. She always open for custom quantity of items. If you are planning to make just 1-2 pendants, you probably will need just sample size of glaze – not the big bottle.
So… lets make the pendant
First, cut of an image.
Then, apply a little bit of glaze on the back side of the glass tile. Ell… maybe not a little bit but more So it shouldn’t be a very thin layer.
Spread it evenly without air bubbles inside. Place the image with face side on the glaze and gently press it from center to the edges. Be sure, that there is no airy spots between glaze and paper. Also, paper should slide on the glaze when you touch it. It means that right amount of glaze applied. Be sure that edges of the paper are also with no air between glaze and the image.
Set aside the glass tile for a couple of hours while the glaze become firm. Then, just trim extra paper on the sides and remove extra glaze from the glass.
Put a little bit of super glue in the setting.
And place the glass tile with paper side down.
And your pendant is ready
