this looks amazing!

Years ago I used make magnets with the flat glass round discs from the dollar store. I would put felt on the back of them using Modge Podge and then glued a round magnet on them. I never thought about making a pendant before. I want to give it a try.

I'm an Activities Coordinator for a nursing home and I think the ladies would enjoy doing this. Thank you for the idea

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.

When you say rubber tube, what do you mean?

Felt would be a nice finish for the back side. Great idea for a pendant.

I ♥️this. Thank you Darlene🦋♥️🌹

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

You could make magnents with those too! Nice vid!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Wow , heading to dollar store right away !

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!

Love the idea to glue a paperclip to the back for a pendant! Brilliant!

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

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!

I love how excited Darlene is :)

I love hearing you talk too 😊. You're like a aunt I never had.

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

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!

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

You're a natural and a pleasure to watch! Thanks for explaining everything so well and for inserting so much joy and humor.

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!

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

OMG you are so dynamic with a bubbly personality. Loved your ideas and your enthusiasm

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.

I've watched many tutorials on painting or creating these glass stones. I've watched yours a dozen times. I love your attitude and the way you explain how to create them. Great work!

I love your tutorials! Best way just being you, an no music, speaking an showing for visual learners. Awesome results. U got a new fan!

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!!

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

Great ideas! 👍🏻 Thanks Darlene

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 :)

THANK YOU for sharing ur precious time, talent, resources, knowledge and skills with ALL of us! If we all did the same, the world would be a better place. Best wishes 2 YOU !

Thank you Darlene for sharing your Glass Pendant project with us! So cool...& it was fun listening to you!

I am in LOVE with this diy! I will make about a million of these this very weekend, just for my girls and I. Thank you for posting.

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

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

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.

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. 🤗

Such a great idea!!! I never would have thought to use pics from magazines. Thanks for sharing!

I am falling asleep but I had to watch to the end. Very pretty pendants. Great video. Thankzzzzz!

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!

I loved your video, thank you. I literally laughed out loud as you are funny and fun to listen to.

Oh my goodness! I am so excited! My daughter can now make beautiful craft. My Mum can create unique and beautiful mosaics! I am so excited!!

As far back as I can remember - I've called em (those) little glass GLOBS! Love the ingenuity of these and the many uses these globs can be put to. Thanks for the video.

This is an amazing idea! There's so many different things you can use with it. I'm going to try subway maps, vintage sewing patterns, old books, and old greeting cards.

Wow! I like your style of doing videos, the project itself and finished products.Art isn't just technique and 1-2-3 instructions and highly edited videos. Art is a reflection of the person and the artist. Process counts, process includes fumbling about, talking to oneself and so forth... That's why some videos are long. Art takes time.

My girls are going to love this!!! I cant wait to make some! I loved the video. you are very easy to watch, your voice and mannerisms are like being with a friend you have known forever.

These pieces of art you did are BEAUTIFUL!!! It's unbelievable how creativity can do; congratulations it's admirable. Thanks for sharing, I'll try to make it for sure! Blessings

This is a fabulous tutorial! I love your enthusiasm, and I love how these turned out! Using magazine pictures is genius!

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

Hi Darlene! You are so much fun. I feel like I'm sitting at the kitchen table with a friend. Thank you for this tutorial! Your stones are beautiful!

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

Each one is unique and one of a kind. So pretty.

Darlene, love your DYI videos! I've made some really cool stuff by watching your magic. Thanks for much for sharing your talents.

I love your honest and caring personality! please keep up the cool vids

Wash your hands with O'Keefe's working hands. It's miraculous! Thanks for your videos. I also craft but am always open to new ideas.

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

I love doing these....simple yet beautiful

I love these little pendants. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! They are so very pretty...I can't wait to pick some gems up from the Dollar Tree. I think I will put the faces of my family in them and display them in my curio cabinet and give out as gifts as well. I also love the idea of putting random pictures of flowers and birds and other things in them. Thanks so much for sharing.

That is so beautiful and so easy and fun to do! The pastel blue one is y favorite. It looks like a piece of the sky!

omg Darlene you are ADORABLE and I could listen to your voice all day. Definitely gonna try these with my kiddos, thanks for this fun & helpful tutorial !! :-)

Darlene, these are really fantastic! Nothing wrong with taking shortcuts!

Love this project! So simple and fun!!! Thanks for sharing!

Your lighting is fine they look pretty

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!

Just watched. Great craft. These could easily be given as gifts. You have a lively personality. Thank you. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Omgoodness! This was the first time I have watched one of your videos and I absolutely loved it! Thank you for sharing!

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this simple, yet beautiful art and craft project! You are the best! 👏🏼

I.love this video! you are so real!

Darlene, you are so personable and expressive! I made clear paperweights from liquid resin over 30 years ago. Used round pyrex custard baking cups, adding the imbedded items when nearly set up (or could poke items into the resin when slightly set up). I still have the one with shiny new pennies; also used a commemorative US postage stamp commemorating stamp collecting as a hobby. That one I think was the one I did the bottom of the paperweight with a complete layer of shiny BB shot pellets.

Wonderful idea!

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

Great tutorial. Super easy, but you make them look so very professional

Thanks Darlene. Really enjoyed your presentation. You're a doll! I'm going to make some of these! Looking forward to having some fun doing so.

Never thought to use paper clips. What a great idea.

Love your teaching and sharing. Fun to watch this video. Lovely pendants.

I absolutely love these!!!!!!!

What a fun tutorial ! You are terribly clever and too funny ! Thanks for the info and the laughs !!!

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

Just came across this video! I have been making magnets out of these for awhile, but thank you for showing how to make them into pendants. also never thought about adding glitter! thanks !!
