a beautiful etched glass pendant for Mother's Day...with Randi of Dukes & Duchesses...

5.09.2012
Mother's Day is Sunday! Oh my gosh...where does the time go? If you're anything like me (and please please say you are), you are not completely prepared for it. BUT, not to worry...the amazing Randi from Dukes and Duchesses is here to save us!

I'm Randi from Dukes and Duchesses and I'm so thrilled to be posting here at Midwestern {Sewing} Girl!  Maggie's blog is one of my absolute favorites.


I'm sharing a pretty but simple gift idea for Mother's Day: an etched glass pendant necklace.  The monogram is subtle and classy and it makes a unique Mother's Day gift.



To make one, you need:


a piece of glass (rounded edges are preferable)
letter stickers
etching liquid
and a pendant hanger.

All the materials can be found at any craft store.


Place the appropriate letter sticker on the piece of glass, leaving room for the hanger at the top.  Cover in etching liquid and follow the manufacturer's time instructions.  Rinse, peel the sticker off, and you're done!  See, I told you it was easy!



All you have to do to finish the necklace is glue the pendant hanger on (I used E6000).




It makes a super simple but beautiful gift.



I hope you have fun with it ... and I hope you'll stop by Dukes and Duchesses and let me know if you make one!
