Glass Marble Picture Pendant Tutorial

[@pamelashipman5646]

I have been doing these pendants almost identical to yours for about five years now. But I never made my own bail. And let me tell you I could never give a tutorial as well as you do. I did do one tutorial in my life and you are so good at it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.

Lovely job on this tutorial :) A little tip I have used when making these pendants. If the edges of the paper are a bit jagged after you have cut around the dried glue step..you can smooth them used one of those grey or blue foam blocks for sanding acrylic nails. They usually have a few different grits of sandpaper on them and are squishy so they make nice rounded edges. You can find them at beauty supply stores. Also, these make a fun set of fridge magnets if you glue on a button magnet.

[@ashleykimball]

Aleshia your tutorials are so thoughtful and well put together. I like how you anticipate potential trouble during the project, tell where you buy the products and their cost, list alternatives, show the project made using alternatives, and the other subtleties that make your tutorials the best on KZbin. When I watch one of your videos, I feel completely confident I can complete the project, I don't need to do extra research or watch someone else's video. Thanks for all the stellar videos!

Girl you rock!!! Who would have ever thought? I love these types of pendants but due to respiratory problems I could not work with resin, thank God for you Alisha. Feel better quickly.

[@sharonfowler9971]

Hope your doing great! ❤ 😊Sharon in Ohio loves your Marbel bracelets! I hit and miss the metal piece we twist but 9v× out of 10 still works out! I'm 70 years old and your items you made and you taught me how to make ! Is a joy to retirement; ty❤

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

You can use black acrylic paint on the back of your beads. It will help keep the image from the back from showing through. It also gives your image(s) more depth and an overall clean look :) Hope you try it!

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*Awesome tip!!! 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC

[@elizabethfischer4369]

It really finishes it off with a professional background of ⚫️ and the intricacies of your hand mad3 bail! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ladybdeloreswhitney_CM_CCH_PCM]

Hey Aleshia, thank you for sharing your Bezel Design. I am learning to wire & bead work to enhance my New Generation Crystal Jewelry Line. I have followed your channel for a long time but never attempted to bead weave, however I love to wire beads of all types and sizes. Thank you for generosity to teach and make tutorials.

[@kristybear100]

The back is as beautiful as the front! What a lovely project!

[@MsLizRich]

Your wire bail idea is simply brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing it, and you did a great job demonstrating and explaining how to make it. One thing I found helpful if an image wanted to show through from the other side was to glue a piece of BLACK paper to the back -- no more show-through. The black paper often seemed to intensify to colors of the image on the front, plus it made the back of the piece look more "finished." You don't need a heavy-duty glue, just use Elmer's white glue for the black paper. Once that dries, you can attach the bail with E-6000, then the Diamond Glaze or clear fingernail polish. I'd love to see the necklace you made with the paper beads and glass pendant. Consider adding a link, please.

[@beadinggem]

Really love this wire bail design and your ring base one! Will share on my blog so others can come visit!

[@beadifulnights]

Thank you very much.

[@amazonqueen5694]

+beadifulnights love this video your very talent and I think you should continue to make jewelry and put things on etsy. people would buy.

[@reachmeanthony]

were can i find those wire things for the back of the

[@naomijacobs7616]

Love your pendants and your bails. Where did you buy the diamond glaze? Thank you awesome video!

[@remcat3572]

Super pretty! I love the pendant, the artful bale, and the decorative paper beads and cords you use to make it into a beautiful necklace. Gonna try it myself with many of the glass bead images ive made in the past. Thank you!

[@claydeladre7826]

extremely creative and money smart! i decorate marbles all the time now. the bail ideas just opened up a million more ideas thank you!!!

[@Harphoney]

I love these pendants, nice job !! I will try to make these, i have to live a million years with all the things i want to make lol

[@mariiakapraru4182]

Oh, I think exactly the same! Many millions years to live to make all I want and use all the techniques I want to try

[@debbieandrews2918]

From trinidad....on my side also lol

[@urs1109]

I have watched a few tutorials now on making glass marble necklaces and yours, by far, stands out because of the extensive teaching on making the bail. I love that you are helping us save more money with this technique. Thank you for posting.

[@jowicker4095]

I love the way you made the bails. I have made a lot and have made many pendants with the bails. Your teaching is great. Thank you.

[@tikvah675]

You are so very talented. This is so inspirational. I also love very much how concisely you speak and that you do not go off on unprofessional conversation tangents like some youtubers. I appreciate that so much because of my time problems. I enjoy listening to you speak. Thank you so much.

[@heatherdube5768]

I really love how thoroughly you explain everything. You are an excellent teacher. You even give great advice on prices and where to find things. It's great that you provide alternatives in case someone does not have something. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@jlucas1004]

Your tutorial is really great. Thank you. I want to do this but finish off the back so as to look more professional. Its the way you made the bail that was so interesting. Thanks for that tip because like you say, they can be expensive and there are not many in a package. Also, I have been looking for what type of marbles to use for certain things and you had the answer!! Thanks again!

[@chloe7719]

Very nice. I made pendants like these about a year ago and gave them away as gifts. I guess I should make some more. Thank you for showing us how you make the bails. Love your idea with the paper beads. Great tutorial:)

[@barbll000]

You've got a real talent for demonstrating and explaining crafts. Many thanks for this excellent video.

[@lizzieferrell6778]

wow, you just made an old lady happy, something I can afford and actually do. Thank you so much for a great tutorial blessings and grace to you Lizzie

[@coreenalbertsen1764]

I’m years late seeing this fabulous tutorial! Your camera angle is perfectly set. Huge plus!! Excellent directions! Such a cool idea....why didn’t I think of that! Ha😉 Really enjoyable~

[@aliceryan3399]

Sealing the paper with a Mod Podge formula first can make any paper usable & glossy, matte, or my favorite, glittery. This can really make the image stand out & you might not need to use the Diamond Glaze, which as you said, can be hard to find. Neat idea!

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*Awesome tip!!! 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC

[@tracyshudo9972]

Thank-you very much, I am currently doing Kumihimo Braiding and with use of beads to do this I have not been able to find any bails locally that I could use. The ones on line are so expensive. So by watching this you have saved my life. Or I think so now I have to make some. I will send you a picture or two once they are done. Thanks again from Vancouver Canada

[@thepenpusher0674]

finishing the back, you can use polymer clay, sandwiching the bail between the two and getting rid of the printing on the back. Or, moisten the back and using your finger, remove the excess paper, leaving the image on the glass; then add the pretty bail you've made. (an old trick from Mod Podge and placing an image onto other materials).

[@Jingles31653]

You are an excellent teacher and probably the best with details of anyone I've watched. I have just discovered you but I'm hopeful that you have many lessons on here. I look forward to watching all of them. Thank you for taking your time and ability and sharing with us. Nikki

[@julierodriguez-alvarez6687]

what is the name of the wire ?

[@debbyduchesneau2038]

Great tutorial. This is the first video I watched that actually made me understand how to make a wire bale correctly. .. thank you so much.

[@susansanders1987]

First thing I thought was how nice were these bails, awesome to hear you made them yourself.

[@kellyjackson6548]

Very beautiful pendant especially with the paper beads! Thank you for sharing!

[@2007Isabellamaria]

I have made all kind of things with these marbles and let me give you a tip. I glue the image with white glue which dries clear and apply it also to the back. Once it is dry, I use a nail polish color that matches the color of the image or just use black nail polish to seal it. I have attahed self adhesive magnets to put them on my refrigerator. This process is much faster and less expensive than using the E-6000. I got the idea from a decoupage video and has worked very good for me. I hope you try my method. Great job on the bails. Kind regards.

[@debbieday1987]

What an excellent tutorial ! I've watched countless craft, hobbie & DIY tutorials over the years. & your creative savvy, style & passion are quite obvious. I can't aptly describe it but you have a 'genuineness' that comes through which I find deeply refreshing. You were obviously unwell so again, hats off to your dedication. & commitment to your business and/or personal ideals. Cheers on a job well done. Deb (New Zealand)

[@abrann2]

Do you have a tutorial for the paper beads? They are so cute!

[@CarlaR43]

I've never seen bails like this before...you're very talented. I bought the flat-back glass marble ages ago and made a few rings with them using nail polish on the back. I never thought of doing a pendant, I'm going to start right now as I'm lucky enough to have all the materials here! Keep up the great work!:)

[@RobinPatrick]

You actually make it look do-able. I love your step by step tutorial and also how you tell us what not to do. Keep up the good work.

[@aignr5]

I do this type work, but I use magazines like women's clothing, for my pictures. I use clear nail polish for the glue and then add magnets on the backs. Love your channel by the way!

[@pkal4faves]

Terrific. How oppurtune for you to put this video out. I just finished a beaded nech chain with a daisy garden theme and needed something to hang in the centre. I was waiting for lightning to strike to find something and here you are. I love this tut. Thanks.

[@kathyroknich1429]

You never stop even when sick. You still do great work. The pendants are beautiful. Thank you.

[@kathleendillon4712]

Excellent job of showing and explaining! My preteen grandchild is coming to visit and I think they will love this craft!

[@DawnMayfield-lf6bt]

That bale is pretty enough to even put on the front ! Love this!

[@robindrever4544]

Wonderful ideas!! Loved the graphics you chose. Loved the bails...so simple and elegant!

[@MaraschinoMary1]

Oh my goodness, you are so patient and descriptive and interesting. You did a great job in spite of being sick. Of course, I am posting my comment 4 years after you posted this video. However, I wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated. And you have over 434K views!

[@Shadri00]

Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for sharing. It looks like a fun project with lots of possibilities. Yours look lovely.

[@yram0secnarf]

Great tutorial - you were very thorough. I really appreciated the pointers you gave against pitfalls - that will be very helpful. So now I want to see your other videos.

[@Maxine2814]

Just lovely, will save so much money making these instead of buying store bought, these look so much nicer and give a great finished look, Awesome.

[@debjones938]

I made some presents this year with these glass beads and magnets. I used fabric, wrapping paper, pictures etc. for mine. Thanks for the idea to make them wearable jewelry!!!

[@debjones938]

oh, and I just saw some with nail polish, stunning...

[@mastersadvocate]

I agree with you, Aleshia, glossy papers do work better. I made a bunch of these glass marbles into Christmas decorations one year, and finished them by glueing them onto coloured felt and adding a ribbon to hang the decorations with. They turned out very nicely! Never thought of making jewelry with them though. Your idea is very beautiful! ~Janet in Canada

[@bebe4235]

first youtuber I see with nice, elegant, presentable nails

[@lorimcgarrity2146]

great job on showing how clearly to make the bale for these. It looks like something I might could do if I re-watch this a couple of times. Thanks.

[@msj6034]

I've been making my own bails, but I really like your design! Mine use a heavier gauge and fewer details, but I can see that yours would work better on heavier pendants. Thanks!

[@craftsNstuffBamma]

Really well done video. You are precise and your pendants are super professional looking. And thanks so much for showing us how to make those lovely bails.

[@Sakura30sparkly]

You are so creative, I never would have thought to use these, at first I thought this was resine. I am so going to do this technique for my drawings to make neclaces out of them! Thank you!

[@mizbuggy]

I've seen other tutorials on the exact same thing but your bails are not only functional but quite lovely as well. Also, LOVE your manicure! Weird, I know, but anyone who knows me knows I have a thing for great nails. Anyway, I look forward to your other tutorials.

[@ShoSensei]

IKR?? Her nails are always pretty! :)

[@bonnieberrier8219]

I enjoyed this immensely You have a great way of presenting to your viewers You are slow enough to catch what you are saying and describing You point out each step to give a person time to understand it I think you are fantastic and I will be trying to make these Thank you so much for sharing Keep up the good work

[@sandraellis1081]

Loved your tutorial ... and your designs ... just starting out with jewellery making I am going to love trying new things ..and I will definitely have a go at making one of these pendants ...Thank you for sharing your knowledge x

I love how well you explained each step. Also you took care to make this a lasting piece. Thank you!

[@KellyHeggem]

Great tutorial! I have been intimidated to learn wire wrapping and you made me feel like I could totally do this. Thanks for the generosity of your time to offer inspiration and teaching :)

[@conniebuck6987]

You have some wonderful ideas Aleshia! I love all of your tutorials, the things you make are inexpensive and beautiful at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

[@beadifulnights]

Yes, you can buy it at Walmart. I don't think it is on the beading aisle though at my Walmart it is on the next aisle where the kids beads are at.

[@cullisheerfrost1494]

I really like how you make your own bail out of wire! pretty, and so simple! Thanks - I'm just getting into this and I'm a little obsessed.

[@Geemathis1944]

Absolutely love these, Granddaughters will love them for Christmas.

[@LeciaWoessner]

Hi! I really wanted to say thank you for ALL of your videos! Your pieces are so beautiful & your videos are so detailed, that don't leave your viewer with any questions & that's awesome! You've got my undying gratitude & support!!! I hope that you'll post a video on those great paper beads, please?!?

[@harusaurus]

YES! a tutorial on making your own bails! they're so expensive online and i can't find them in any stores :( this will help SO much. now all i need is thicker wire. THANK YOU!!

[@susanhewlett6146]

love your videos and the fact you taught me how to make the bails being on low income I can't afford to buy the expensive ones only to get a few in each package. thanks so much for sharing this even though you were sick hope you get better God Bless you

[@kjstarr2893]

I 've made these for year yours are very nice but save time cutting out your paper with a circle paper cutter. There's one the same diameter as the large glass stone. Another tip! On the back add a nice piece of material or I prefer a black "pleather" type of material. This gives it a more professional finished piece.

[@jayandsophiapope5840]

Wow I was thinking the same thing KJ Starr...great tip.

[@rozyroan385]

KJ Starr but some of the glass globs are not perfect circles.

[@kristybear100]

KJ Starr, would the black material be attached to the paper with E6000 and then the bail or bale would be attached to the black material with E6000?

[@linneabeckman6543]

Just paint the back with nail polish, color of choice, let dry. apply second coat, let dry, install bail.

[@jeffo1110]

you can "sandwich" the bail between the pendant and any backing material you choose. Black velour paper would work well, or do as Linnea suggests below! Pretty much anything goes - you can choose what you want on the back.

[@debmalouin9880]

Very nicely done. I also love your paper beads. Did you do a tutorial on making those?

[@abshireinterpreting8443]

Thank you for making this so simple! Beading and using the wire looked so intimidating before!

[@angryemployee]

I've taken you're idea and run with it! I made dozens of these and there's no stopping me! I'm going to use acrylic paint to cover the back of the images. I have a few store bought bails (bales?) But will use craft wire to finish the rest. I'll have birthdays and Christmas done!

[@susanyee1]

You do an excellent job! I love your bails better than the store bought ones! So decorative.

[@scrapbookbowler]

I have never done wire working, but your video makes it look pretty simple. I am now very excited to try!! I already have some clear marble like things at home, so I will have to try making my own pendants as well. Thanks for the awesome video!!

[@RosianePacheco]

You explain the process very well ! Your work is very delicate and beautiful
