Here is the Christmas Pendant I made for myself. I still need to run some ribbon through the top of it…but this was my first attempt at soldering! Scary! LOL
I’ve had some glass slides in various sizes for eons…never opened them let alone used them for anything. I saw some soldered jewelry somewhere and decided I wanted to try it. I bought a soldering iron, lead-free solder, and some flux…and it sat…never been opened.
Well…guess what??? I OPENED EVERYTHING! And here is my first attempt. I printed a photo of David and Santa that I just love!!! It’s over 5 years old, but that doesn’t make me love it any less! I cropped and printed at 2″square, sandwiched it between two glass slides, put copper tape around the edges and soldered. It’s not perfect, but it will get me through the holiday season! I just want to find some ribbon to put through the paper clip I improvised.
Hmmm…wonder what I should try next?? Stay tuned.

It turned out beautiful! I’ve tried to make one & mine looks like my 5 year old did it. Ah well, it’s fun to practice.
