Today Kelley from
Casa Crafty is here to share an awesome tutorial on making glass pendants with your kiddos art. Or lets not be silly, you could make your own are too. My wheels are spinning. (And I so just need to suck it up and order a tube of E6000 glue!)
Enjoy! (And try not to think about me on the beach in Hawaii!)
It's wonderful to run into other crafty moms when you are all out searching for ideas and supplies! While at my local bead store getting fixtures and the like for the jewelry making blowout, a woman walked in with her toddler. She had a glass tile in her hand and was looking for the bails (I think that is what they are called) to make it into a pendant for the little ones grandmother. I commented on what a great idea that was and asked if I could copy her for our grandma's and aunties. She said yes, and I promptly bought 3 tiles and bails. I had the boys paint some watercolors, and Hawley's turned out really well. I cut 3 squares and glued them with Mod Podge. It was Matte Mod Podge. So the watercolors are very pastel. So I went back and got some more tiles and bails and had the boys use acrylic craft paint this time. I used E6000 to glue and here is our wide selection of beautiful pendants:
(I try to do something every year for the grandparents that uses the kids hands in some way. There were these: Childrens art pillows)
In honor of kid made crafts, here are some of my favorite links to activities for you and your child:
