CRAFT TIME - Easy DIY Glass Pendants using Dollar Tree Flat Marbles

[@adaperez4770]

Those are pretty. I cleaned my glass gems with alcohol, once it dried I applied a layer of mod podge, then I placed a photo of my fiance and I. then covered back in mod podge. they dry within an hour. then I glued a magnet on back. I made 200 for my upcoming wedding as a keepsake for my guests

[@peterwilliams1363]

[@keljoku]

[@ayeshalovesmoon]

Same thinking here.....u r the best

[@azraaismail7793]

this looks amazing!

[@darlene.michaud]

Hello Peanut Gallery! Be sure you watch the video until the very end to see close up images of the glass pendants! This is a very simple craft and they turn out so pretty! I'll be showing you more ways to embellish the flat marbles and will also show you different ways to use these gems!

[@dawnvaliquet6631]

Such a great idea ty

[@lindakochis5476]

Darlene love your ideas! I have to ask are you from NY Brooklyn area? Love listening to you think out loud do it myself when I'm working thank you

[@nancyburall99]

I love your clever and beautiful idea. I'm always looking for craft ideas to do with my grandgirls. Keep up the great design ideas!

[@ginak1117]

This is my first video of yours and I love it. What a great idea. Really inexpensive too. Just a thought but you could cut out a felt circle to glue on the back to finish it. It would cover up the paper clip and be smoother on your skin too. Dont ya just hate when its rough on your skin an snagging your clothes all up. LOL Im joking with ya but I think it would work okay, Im sure someone else has already told u this though not a brilliant idea or anything. Thanks for sharing this craft Im gonna try it have to get the stones.

[@roxannetucker5813]

If you haven't tried Modpoge yet, it would dry faster than the nail polish. Goes on milky like Elmers glue, but dries clear. As for those who made commens about being babyish for adult 50years, who cares ! You're making something cute & there are those of us who enjoy your video. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day!

[@peacockblue8407]

🤶🏽 my friends & i are 58 & older. we LOVE this stuff!

[@craftychrystal7913]

Hey Darlene, have you looked at the messed up paper you are using as a worksurface? It has some out of sight areas that would really bling on one of your pendants! Love this tute!!

[@linneabeckman6543]

Saw that also. Glad someone else thinks so also :-)

[@tangarooo]

Crafty Chrystal me too. At first I thought that's what she was going to use . Then she pulled out the magazines.

[@mandala314]

After cutting off the paper, I use a nail sanding block or emery board to smooth around the edges, it gets super smooth

[@jamienova7448]

How fun, maybe put a layer of felt on the back so the marker don't transfer to the skin

[@sonydesai3541]

Wow , heading to dollar store right away !

[@ellafaith8760]

Seeing the leopard print one plus the red & white towel gave me the cool idea of getting a fashion catalog that would have some beautiful wardrobe patterns. If only I had all those old Sears Catalogs! :D

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I've done these and put a magnet on the back for refrigerator magnets and I just used craft/scrapbooking paper. I would have never thought of using a magazine. That's is an awesome idea. Thanks! Your going to get me in so much trouble! Lol.

[@cassandrac.3283]

Jana Giraud u can also use a photo they come out nice i have done some try it u will love them

[@tristanspear9889]

I just came across your channel I really enjoyed your video looks like I'm here to stay I watched a few other videos I had fun and was inspired thanks for sharing I'm happy I found you.

[@PerfectlyImperfect6570]

Have you thought about using E6000 glue? Love it.😍

[@darlene.michaud]

I have it. I never opened it. lol

[@gerribarnes1613]

After opening the E6000 glue it has to be used up quickly or it will get gloppy and sticky.

[@irislevi5783]

Be really careful with that. Its odor is really poisonous. I got really dizzy after only a couple of minutes of exposure and saw double. i guess you can use it outdoors and with minimum exposure.

[@whiskeyblack806]

It says right on the back to not breath that stuff in. SCARY! It says it causes cancer :-(

[@remcat3572]

I got a few days away by myself and made these. It was so fun - I got lucky to find a lifestyle magazine of the Monterrey Coast and it had a lot of unique, interesting images just the right size. Also got lucky to find large glass stones from Walmart. They turned out so pretty. I'll be making them into pendants. Thanks!

[@ritzv74]

These are great Darlene! I love the paper clip idea. I make rings out of paperclips.and yeah you need wire cutters. Lol

[@michelebogle9062]

That is a really cool idea. Maybe glue a small round of felt to hide the paperclip? Just a thought.

[@Debster9ster]

Exactly! I was just going to write that. Or a pretty piece of material.

[@heatherb.5841]

or a magnet :)

[@GingerBeachStudio]

OMG I just found you and absolutely loved this project!!! I need to try this! TFS...new subbie :)

[@gerribarnes1613]

You are so fun to watch and learn from. Thanks.

[@kathytincler2446]

I'm late catching up to this wagon too & can't wait to get started with these. I think that I like your tut the best! I like that you glued then cut, loved loved your non fussy & cheap bail & that glitter idea? genius...that would be great for little snow globe like images for Christmas. Thank you for sharing :)

[@Auntdea]

Great ideas! 👍🏻 Thanks Darlene

[@peacockblue8407]

i like so many things, incl. "split" rings. you get 240 for only $3 @ walmart? sounds like a better price than @ craft stores. love the paper clip bail ~ convenient & inexpensive. i cannot wait to get started; thanx for the lessons! 🤶🏽

[@darlene.michaud]

Split rings and jump rings are two totally different kinds of rings. Jump rings are a single band with a cut in them. You have to pull them apart a bit to hook them to something else. Split rings are more like a keychain where it's spirals and you need to split it to get it started.

[@peacockblue8407]

o-ohh! just enlarged vid & saw it .... good to know so that i use the right kind ;^)

[@christinapalmer1022]

Love them my next project thank you x

[@asmilecanmakesomeonesday2084]

Maybe a small piece of felt over the paperclip so its not visible

[@darlene.michaud]

What is bad about a visible paperclip? I love seeing it! Let's people know I used a fucking paperclip and I'm proud of that.

[@Tracy137]

Thank you so much for posting this video - I am now increasingly mobility limited so these craft projects, even just watching them, are wonderful. 😊

[@DA-jw4lx]

You crack me up how you improvise...LOL! Good job!

[@chelerutan]

For the marbles with flaws, maybe try using nail polish with glitter or pieces of confetti in it, then put it on a dark background. Just a thought.

[@gailblue6803]

Chele Rutan hhqqq

[@orouba14]

You are so cute darlene and i love your work. Just subscribed all the way from down under. A pleasure watching n learnin. A newbie to the craft world but very excited and rearing to go.

[@manishavadher4015]

Your so lovely please keep doing what you do. Made me smile. Xx

[@marshall4729]

This is a big help thank u !!!! :)

[@tiffanycorrigan2461]

I like this idea! I think I might try it but use a sticky felt to cover the paperclip on the back :)

[@tarziesgirl]

TIFFANY CORRIGAN How did this turn out? That's the only part I was iffy about.

[@tinageane6646]

how about a piece of felt on back to make it finished looking? just suggesting

[@sharonrichards1627]

I am only five seconds into this video and I am already hooked. You are a hoot!

[@steviecounts357]

i found a sew mag at the library for a dime great designs in there ohhhh great stuff ya gotta get one

[@Mismochy72]

Your lighting is fine they look pretty

[@susanewing8458]

I've been doing these with just nail polish, painting directly on flat stones. Occasionally I would use magazine designs but never thought about laying directly on page and letting it dry. Even better is your paperclip bale! How inexpensive and clever. Will definitely be trying these tips out. 🤗

[@tiffanybriley6256]

Doctor offices arnt going To like Me From shreading their magazines! 😜

[@juliefinnegan6548]

I am so surprised at this easy craft that makes such PRETTY pendants. WoW! Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if you could put someone's picture behind one???

[@juliefinnegan6548]

Oh, I see someone already asked that and you answered!

[@darlene.michaud]

Yes, pictured would be great! I'll have to make some to show everyone.

[@karenfazio433]

Hello from asheville nc...I have seen people use clear w/glitter polish with a blue foil back ground so beautiful...you are so amazing..is there anything that you cant do..keep posting i love everything you do

[@michellerichards9948]

Nice!!!!!! THANK YOU So much For sharing

[@yamieandre7700]

I.love this video! you are so real!

[@karenbrown4524]

I love those. I'm thinking of using velvet ribbon and make chockers. I don't know how to adhere the clasps though.

[@darlene.michaud]

I'm sooooo into wanting to make chokers now. I usually make chokers so they just tie in the back so they will fit many size necks. The glass could just be glued on the front.

[@saintsinner7565]

I really like you! You are very crafty

[@lisamcdonald2877]

I so want to do this! Thanks for showing your work.

What a great project with commonly found items! It would be a fun overnight project for a girls slumber party too! Thanks for sharing, Darlene!

[@alessiajoy2906]

Excellent idea! I'm going to do some today! I knew there was a reason I was keeping magazines...lol Question: what size trays would fit these? Thanks!

[@ms.m2054]

This is freaking AWESOME!!! I can't wait to show my nieces this amazing pieces of art!

[@philanddeb818]

I really thought I would not like what you were going to show me, but you're so flippin' cute and adorable, I couldn't help but watch what you were doing. I must admit, you totally schooled me. I came with snobbery and left with humility! BTW, I love pink and green too! Great video! I've subscribed, you've made a believer of me!

[@supermario7956]

I just subscribed 😍

[@sonjael-kadi4074]

You are so cool! Greetings from Germany!

[@lzrd8460]

I made these years ago. For a bale I use a rubber tube from the hardware store, cut it in half & glued onto the back of the glass gem. It worked perfectly and doesn’t show.

[@XjtBA]

When you say rubber tube, what do you mean?

[@klmueller8575]

I've wondered about this. Thanks for the easy method.

[@NickyPeterson]

I made these with engagement pictures I took of my friends. They were their wedding favors. We added magnets to the back. Your way of doing it was way faster then my way! Awesome!

[@northstarastrology3954]

You got me excited to try and make these! And I found my flat glass marbles at Wal-Mart. 😎

[@dianarodriguez9719]

This was awesome! You inspired me! Christmas gifts!!!

[@tonithatcher]

you are charming and innovative! Thanks for all the cool tips! Be well!

[@judypeterson1134]

You are an excellent Tudor!! You're easy to follow and your personality just seems to draw us in. Great job! Please keep us updated with your new ideas.

[@marlenasmith2599]

Hi Darlene, Thank you for sharing this project! I am an art educator and I am always looking for cool projects made from simple items that you can easily get ahold of and are inexpensive!!! I have an idea that I will have my kids paint on some little papers that they have painted themselves!

[@GrapeApe2018]

put a disc of craft felt over the clip in back, will protect skin or fabric of your shirt from a sharp edge of the cut paper clip if it should wear through the mod podg

[@arnedac9399]

Beautiful thank you.

[@lachazaroony]

My daughter and i put drops of nail polish of various colors on a piece of paper and then drag something pointy to swirl it, then drop the glass on top and pull if off gently. Makes a cool swirly pattern, but now i am dying to try this! looks amazing!

[@janlloyd6138]

that is so clever, especially the paper clip, thank you!!!!!!!!

[@evaturski3352]

Thanks Darlene loved the tutorial. Another project for me to make.

New subscriber here! I like you. You're a blast

[@dollladie]

You could also cut rounds of felt to go on the back of the stones. These are very nice.

[@naomijacobs7616]

Thank you! I love your stones and these easy tips.

[@MsOscara]

I think you should use that marked up paper underneath everything for making pendants. There are some really marvelous designs there!

[@yamieandre7700]

I just loved your video. i am doing these pendants.

[@aleyahmalone5012]

[@daughterofgodwarriorofchrist17]

Darlene does it work with other types of paper? I want to print out some pictures for it, would that work? What kind of paper should i print on to, regular paper or photo paper?

[@MadHatta555]

Mel Christian The small of a project any type of paperwork should work, if you want to do anything much larger than what she's doing you have the possibility of buckling so you should use a thicker paper (like card stock).

[@clairemillette4645]

Bonjour madame michaud je suis heureuse d'avoir vu votre vidéo et je vous félicite pour votre magnifique travail c'est très beau 👍🥰💞💞💞👍

[@TheTinybubbles1]

I have used modge podge very good sucess

[@janereynolds703]

Darlene, after one of your videos, you asked for ideas for future crafts. Here is an idea for a material to use, but I do not know what to do with the material. If you use an Oxo can opener to open a can, the top of the can and the rim lift off with no sharp edges. You get a metal circle with a frame. I think that the top has to be useful for a craft, but I do not know what craft. I am hoping that you will come up with something. Thanks in advance. All the best to you. Jane

[@hollyinhell]

Thank you!!! I have been wanting to explore this idea but didn't know what type of can opener to use. 😊

[@kaolapokru1090]

Thumbs up for creativity ! Bravoooo

[@vlucidity]

I think you're hilarious to watch it was fun I like how you say likey so

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Great tutorial! I’ve been using Eileen’s Tacky glue which dries transparent but it’s white when it goes on so I can’t see through the stone and have to hope I placed it right! Now I’ll try nail polish, thank you. The bails are great. I’ve been gluing them to mirrors and picture frames-so fun!

[@angelahill-martin7442]

Thanks or sharing. Those are so cool.
