I have been so inspired by handmade jewelry, that I couldn't help but try one myself.
This is my 1st handmade piece which I learned from BeyondBracelets on youtube, but made alterations according to the craft supplies available to me.
This is my 1st handmade piece which I learned from BeyondBracelets on youtube, but made alterations according to the craft supplies available to me.
I started by cutting the cardboard in the shape that I desired to make the pendant in, then cracked and pasted pieces of boiled egg-shell on the base.
Once all the pieces were pasted, I filed the edges of the pendant to smoothen them and remove any excess egg-shell.
To make it durable, I coated the pasted egg-shell pieces with glue and water mixture(70% glue & 30% water) and left it to dry overnight.
Once it was completely dried, I painted the egg-shell side with transparent colors and the back side with acrylic color.
Finally sprayed the completed pendant with craft varnish, punched a hole in it and added the silver chain.
