Make a Wooden Pendant on a Necklace

It’s nice to have access to many necklace pendants so you can change often. I decided to make a few and found out that it is fun and easy. Give it a try with this instructable.

- Two pieces of wood (2 inch x 2 inch and 1/8 inch thick) I used birch and walnut)

- a picture that you want to cut

- wood glue

- a drill

- a clamp

- jigsaw

- wax

- sandpaper

- a rasp

- pliers

- silver wire (or other wire)

Glue the design on one of the wooden discs. You can dilute the glue with a little bit of water (It will be easier to remove the paper when a you have diluted the glue). Let it dry.

Drill a hole in the center of your design.

Prepair your jigsaw and cut your design. When your design is very tiny you can drill some holes in advance. This will make it easier.

Remove the picture with sandpaper and use a rasp to smoothen the edges.

Use wood glue to glue the two discs and clamp them together.

Cut your pendent in the shape you like. Drill a hole. Apply wax on the surface.

Make a ring with pliers and sliver wire. Fasten to pendant. Fasten on the chain and enjoy!
