In this class we will use a cardboard matchbox and create a reliquary inside. First we will paper the box and add our trinkets inside. Then we will add the glass window and solder the reliquary pendant. We will attach our chains to the pendant and embellish with beads and charms.
This workshop is a great class for the beginner solder student.

Glass, copper tape, papers, book pages, images, vintage papers, rhinestones, buttons, words, glass glitter, jump rings, chain, lobster claw closure, charms, beads, trinkets for inside reliquary box, patina. (I will have glues and Mod Podge to use).
