Valentines Day DIY Glitter Heart Pendants or Magnets Tutorial

Posted on January 8, 2017 by BluKatDesign Upcycled Jewelry

Valentines Day DIY Glitter Heart Pendants or

Magnets Tutorial

Not sure where the idea for this originated, there are tutorials all over Pinterest for glitter pendants or fingernail polish jewelry.

Find your jewelry supplies at Sun and Moon Craft Kits.

I start with a darker translucent color and paint the outside of your heart shaped glass tile to give the illusion of more depth (you may want to blend a little more than I did here), then add a clear or sparkly clear nail polish layer. Working quickly and in order add:
Light fairy dust in center, then pink , then metallic red all over
Let dry a bit then add 1-2 layers of opaque red and finish off with a metallic red (don’t sprinkle glitter on the backs like I did if you have sensitive skin!)
Use E6000 glue to attach bails for pendants or magnets for a cute magnet set!

Check out my Etsy store for these and other heart jewelry:
