Ingredients:
- One large image with several interesting parts Or several small corresponding pictures
- Scrabble tiles or similar
- Tacky glue or similar
- Glossy Accents or similar
- Pearl Ex Pigments
- Scrabble tile template (described in the Scrabble Tile Pendants/Charm Tutorial )
- Xacto knife
- drill and small bit (or bail and epoxy)
- Paintbrush
- Pallet or other non-porous plate
- Step One : Pick out your image - you should plan to make 7 or so beads/pendants for this necklace project. (I suggest holding onto the scraps - you may be able to use them for earrings or a bracelet.
- Step two: Using your scrabble tile template, select seven pieces of the picture to use - cut these out with an xacto knife. Line them up with an eye for composition - try to consider how you will place them in the necklace.
- Step Three: Glue the cut pictures to the scrabble tiles
- Step Four: Cover the sides and backs of the tiles with Pearl Ex Pigments (I used a crimson and a gold color) using lightly watered down glue. Allow to dry completely and coat with a layer of watered down glue, other other sealant.
- Step Five: Cover all sides with Glossy Accents (or other sealant)
- IMPORTANT: Allow each side to dry before touching or turning. I learned this the hard way.
- Step Six: Once the tiles are entirely dry, attach jump rings to each hole in the tiles.
- Step Seven: Arrange your tiles on a beading flocking board. Select additional beads to match colors already in the pictures you used in the tiles.
