- Step 1Cut a piece of chipboard in half or quarters, depending on the size you desire. Select several pieces of tumbled glass and arrange them on the chipboard.
- Step 2Trace around glass shape and cut out the chipboard with a craft knife.
- Step 3Trim the chipboard so that the glass pieces hang off the edge slightly. Use a glue gun to attach the glass pieces.
- Step 4Instead of grout, press a small amount of black Sculpley III Oven Bake Clay between the gaps with a modeling tool. Bake the pin according to instructions on the Sculpey package.
- Step 5Attach a pin to the back of the chipboard with a glue gun.
- Optional Step 1Seal with Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating Spray to protect the glass and make it shiny.
