Step 4Solder the edges
Using a syringe and/or paintbrush apply flux to all of the copper surfaces. It's pretty difficult to get too much on there. Don't worry about getting it on the glass. We can clean it up later.
Use your 80 gigawatt soldering iron to solder around the edges. If you've never used a stained glass soldering iron before get ready for a treat. They're loads of fun. They heat to around 800 degrees F so don't get them anywhere near electronics or you'll fry everything. That's why we're doing this beforehand.
Bend a thin wire around a paintbrush to form a jump ring. This will give you somewhere to hang your pendant.
