Scrabble Tile Pendant Tutorial

I've had these scrabble tiles for about two years and have planned all that time to turn them into a pendant...well, I've finally done it.

I wore my scrabble pendant out on Friday night for our date night. The sales lady and Borders, our waitress at PF Chang's and the grocer at Safeway all complimented me on my necklace. One actually asked me where I got it and I proudly told her I made it myself. She then asked me where I sold them and I told her my blog/etsy shop.

What you'll need: scrabble tile, bail, chain, scrapbook paper scrap, sticker/stamp/jewel, text, matte modge podge, glitter/shimmer modge podge, distress ink, diamond glaze.

Step 1: Measure and cut scrapbook paper. Then apply modge podge to tile and lay paper over glue. Rub with finger to smooth out. Let dry completely.

Step 2: Apply sticker, stamp, jewel...as well as any text, words or scriptures.

Step 3: Using stamp spunge, distress edges of tile.

Step 4: Spray with a fixative to make sure the ink won't bleed. Let dry completely.

Step 5: Paint on thin layer of glitter/shimmer modge podge. Let dry completely.

Step 6: Squeeze out generous amount of diamond glaze on the top of tile. I apply it along the edges, then fill the middle. Make sure you don't have any air bubbles. If you get air bubbles...use a tootpick to work them out. Leave out to dry overnight. Make sure to leave it somewhere it won't be disturbed or bumped. The glaze takes a LONG time to harden completely.

You must let each step dry completely before moving on.

I am addicted to making these! They are such a beautiful addition to any wardrobe.

I'd love to see any photos
