If the creation of jewelry is your passion, you might want to make a fused glass pendant using your artistic ability and a few art glass supplies like Olympic kilns.

• Kiln
• Glass in sheets in your color choice
• Cutting glass
• Oil glass cutter
• Glue
• Wire
• Nippers
• Breaking pliers

Using a glass cutter and tweezers, cut sheet glass pieces into the desired shape. Putting together form the design you like glue to hold them together for a while.
