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.

Step 1: This Is What You Need

- 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)

Step 2: Glue

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.

Step 3: Drill

Drill a hole in the center of your design.

Step 4: Cut

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.

Step 5: Sand and Rasp

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

Step 6: Glue and Clamp

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

Step 7: Cut, Drill and Apply Wax

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

Step 8: Bend and Fasten and Enjoy

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