Usually jewelry is not included in my diy projects simple because I always wear one of two necklaces. However, I came across this idea and made an exception. I love how it turned out, and I can wear it with one of the necklaces that I usually wear!
I have only been a mother for just over a year now, but being a mother has been so transformative that I want to celebrate this vocation whenever possible. My photo-pendant necklace is truly a celebration of my life as a wife and a mother. The center photo is a recent picture of my son, on the left is a picture from my wedding day, and on the right is an early ultrasound picture of the baby that will be joining us in November. The ultrasound picture is from a couple months ago now, but I love my little gummy-bear baby! And, the wonderful thing is that the pendants were inexpensive so it will be easy to add or change pendants as my family grows and changes.
Supplies:
Blank pendants and chain (you can get these at a craft store)
Photos printed to size
Packing tape
Modge Podge
How To:
Cover photos with clear packing tape to protect them
Adhere Photos to blank pendant using a dry glue (I used scrap-booking adhesive)
Cover with a few coats of modge podge and allow to dry.
This was an easy craft and I’m very pleased with how it turned out. As you can see, my one-year-old really likes this necklace too! I wear it often and when I do he finds his picture and gives it a chew! But, no problem, another coat of modge podge will take care of that!
If it’s your first time visiting Small Things, I’d love for you to connect with me in some way!
I love this! 🙂
What a sweet pendant necklace! I love that you used photos that were so meaningful to you, and it’s wonderful that even if it gets a little chewed on that it is easily fixable. Thanks for sharing your idea!
