Halloween Glass Pendants

Imaginisce Spooky Town Monster Mash

Other Supplies: Adhesive, Glass, Bails, Stickles Glitter, Judikins Diamond Glaze, E6000 Adhesive

Designer Tip: I purchase the glass pieces from tile stores. Select glass tiles that are not too thick and heavy and are not distorted. I usually work with the 7/7 by 1 7/8 inch rectangle glass, small 7/8 inch squares a circles in a size around 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Use the glass to position over design to make sure it fits on the shape, then trace around glass. Cut out shape and then add any glitter accents. Next apply a fair size drop of glaze onto the backside of the glass, firmly press the design onto glass making sure to smooth out any air bubbles and excess glaze. I then use the glaze that squeezes out the sides to smooth over the backside of the paper so it has a nice, smooth finish when dry. Sit the glass face down and allow to dry. If any trimming is needed for the design...use an Exacto knife to clean up the edges. Use E-6000 adhesive to adhere bail onto backside of glass ensuring that it's positioned in the center of the design and glass.


So that's it...well not it for Halloween ideas...we have more of those to share! We would like to extend a thank you once again to Don and Imaginisce for sending us their products to work with! We hope you were inspired to make some projects too!

IT'S HALLOWEEN

Well not quite but it's really looking like it around my house!

Here's a fun poem to get you into the spirit of this fun holiday!





It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.

In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
And knock on doors
for trick or treat.

Tonight we are
the king and queen,
For oh tonight
it's Halloween!

~Jack Prelutsky~
