DIY Photo Pendant Necklace

by Nancy Bandzuch · 4 Comments

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!

Thanks for stopping by,

    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!
