How to Make a Vintage Ceramic Pendant Necklace
I am always looking for unique pieces to
wear and recycling is important to stop filling up the planet with rubbish and throw away items so this when I can across some old vintage broken china crockery I thought here’s my chance to transform and recycle into a beautiful keepsake .
I decide on a few pieces that I can cut to size with my wheeled tile nippers . These make it easy to snip and chip at the ceramic and remember to wear safety eye goggles.
I then use a mini hand drill with a sanding stone attachment. This sands smooth edges on the ceramic piece .
Next it’s time to drill a little hole all the way through into the ceramic ready to put a silver bail to thread the silver chain into.
The little hole is slow process with making sure to keep the top wet to stop burning.I drill in for a count of five and rest out for five seconds. When the hole is drilled through it’s quick dry and then
attach the silver bail. I squeeze it tight into the hole with pair of pliers ready for the chain thread through.
I’m so pleased with the result! A gorgeous Carlton ware ceramic red design pendant that is preserving a piece of history and so unique!
