Fold over pendant

Submitted by snestor on Sun, 06/20/2010 - 17:53.

After reading the instructions on how to make a fold over pendant, I would like to know if the same method can be used to make the bail on the back of the pendant instead of the front.

I see the instructions show only one piece of glass with small pieces added.  Can this method be used with several pieces of glass fused together (ex: black, dichroic and the clear)

Is there any rule of thumb for how long and wide the bail section should be inorder for it to bend properly.

Yes, you can bend the pendant over either way.  Multiple pieces of glass shouldn't be a problem.

I don't have a rule of thumb for the length of the fold-over piece of glass.  You could probably bend a piece of paper over to simulate it - then measure the paper.

Good luck
