Make A Bent Glass
Stringer Pendant

This glass stringer pendant is made from Bullseye yellow glass and a black stringer.

Using the bent glass stringer as a design feature the glass pieces are fully fused.

You may need to play around with bent glass stringers until you have the shape you like.

You can change the colors and sizes around to suit yourself.

To make this pendant you will need the following:

Two pieces of yellow Bullseye glass.

One piece of black stringer.

Thin fire shelf paper or kiln washed shelf.

Candle or butane torch.

Step 1. Cut two pieces of yellow glass about 2 inches x 1/2 inch.

Step 2. Follow the instructions in the following video and bend the stringer to shape.

You can experiment with different shapes until you are satisfied.

Step3. Clean and dry glass completely.

Step 4. Stack the two pieces of yellow glass with the bent stringer on top. Place on a kiln shelf and put into your warm glass kiln, bring kiln up to fusing temperature quickly and hold for about 10 minutes.

Step 5. Check to ensure the glass has fully fused and is nicely rounded. The stringer should be fully fused into the yellow glass and will have spread slightly. Do not over heat or the stringer may spread too far. Switch off and allow kiln to cool to room temperature.

Step 6. Using a piece of sand paper roughen an area on the back of the pendant and using epoxy adhesive glue a pendant bail to the glass.

Different glass colors and shapes allow you to make some very unique pieces of fused glass jewelry. A larger base can be drilled and a jump ring fitted rather than gluing on a pendant bail. Transparent glass will also work very well for this design.

Note. If you wish to contour fuse the stringer see Bent Stringer Pendant for details on contour fusing.
