Fused Glass Stringer Pendant With White Stringers And Red AccentsGlass stringer pendant with white criss cross design and red accents fused to a black base. This glass stringer pendant is made from two pieces of fusing glass with stringers and small red glass pieces placed on top. It is a very simple fused pendant to make and is a colorful piece of fused glass jewelry when finished. You can alter the size and color of the fusing glass if you wish. System 96 glass can be used for this pendant in place of Bullseye glass. You will need the following items for this project. Two pieces of black Bullseye glass, 1" wide x 1 7/8" long. White stringers. Red glass. Glass cutter. Warm Glass kiln. Thin fire paper or kiln washed shelf. Proceed as follows: Step 1. Cut black fusing glass to size. Step 2. Cut one stringer about 1 3/4" long, and the other stringer about 1 1/4" long. Cut three small pieces of red glass. A piece of bead making rod can be cut and used for this. More red dots can added if small pieces of scrap red glass are used. Step 3. Wash and dry thoroughly. Step 4. Stack glass on prepared glass kiln shelf and place the red glass in an offset pattern and then lay the white stringers in between.
Step 5. Place the shelf into the glass kiln, gradually bring the temperature up to about 1500 F (815 C) and hold for about 20 minutes. Check to see that is fully fused, if necessary hold longer. Once the pendant is fully fused switch glass kiln off and allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 6. Remove from kiln, roughen up small area on back of fused glass pendant with sand paper. Use two part epoxy glue to attach metal bail to rear of pendant. The pendant can be drilled to take a jump ring rather than a pendant bail.
