Of course, Crafty Princess Teacher that I am, I love the theme of this crafting video by Margot Potter, aka the Impatient Crafter and aka Impatient Blogger too. I can’t actually see myself wearing this to school, but I like how she has a lot of different techniques going on that you could pick out a few and make something similar, maybe just scaled down for those of us who have to work in more conservative circles. For example, the optical lens pendant she makes in this all by itself on a long chain would be still great looking but not so over the top that a few academic eyebrows might be raised, ya know?

I love that! Yes, this is the showcase piece, but it’s not very practical. You could also take a clear acrylic tile and ink it like I did and make it look like old glass, then put some text behind it and have a cool pendant you could wear on a chain.
Thanks so much for posting this!

That is a cool idea too. Letters are still very popular so that would work and also be pretty stylish.

THIS IS AWESOME! I am hosting a vintage optical lens pendant swap on swap-bot.com and I received a few technical questions which your video totally answers! Thank you!

Perfect timing for you! It so helpful to “see” someone make certain types of crafts.
