DIY: How to Make a Stunning Necklace with Picture Inside in 7 Simple Steps

Materials You’ll Need:

Before we begin, make sure you have these materials on hand:

• Clear glass cabochon
• Chain necklace
• Jump rings
• Jewelry pliers
• Picture of your choice
• Glue (preferably E6000 or a similar strong adhesive)

Step 1: Choose Your Picture

The first step in making your necklace is selecting the picture you want to use. It could be a photo of a loved one, a pet, a favorite place, or anything that holds special meaning to you.

Step 2: Resize Your Picture

Using photo editing software, resize your picture to fit the size of your glass cabochon. Make sure the picture is clear and not blurry when printed.

Step 3: Glue the Picture to the Cabochon

Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the cabochon and carefully place the picture on top, making sure it is centered and free of air bubbles. Let the glue dry completely.

Step 4: Attach the Jump Ring

Using your jewelry pliers, attach a jump ring to the top of the cabochon. This will be used to attach the pendant to the necklace chain.

Step 5: Measure and Cut the Necklace Chain

Measure and cut the chain to your desired length. You can use a ruler or measuring tape to ensure accuracy.

Step 6: Attach the Pendant to the Necklace Chain

Using another jump ring, attach the pendant to the necklace chain. Make sure the jump ring is securely closed.

Step 7: Wear and Enjoy Your Creation

Your necklace with picture inside is now complete! Put it on and wear it with pride or give it to someone special as a meaningful and unique gift.
