Choose an image that you like and let's get started!
Print some copies of the image that you want to use (5x). Do this in normal printing paper and with the size you want your pendant to be.
Now, glue the images to something harder than paper: I used a box of cereals made of cardboard.
After drying, cut out the pictures as equal as possible (that's why I didn't use a mold), and glue them together, on top of each other. For this step I used white glue (I think this is its name in English) because it leaves less bubbles and is stronger than stick glue (which I used in step 2).
Let the pendant dry for some time
Paint the pendant with a colour of your choosing. I used a black nail polish so this way the pendant is already water proof. Repeat the process 5 times (let it dry in between).
With a needle, pierce the pendant so that you can attach it to the necklace.
For the necklace itself I used a piece of a chain I had and some organza, as well as a heart from an old and broken bracelet.
