 How's it going guys and welcome back to another J HR DIY project today I'm going to be showing you how to make a glass pendant out of nothing, but some glass that I got an obi-labi and A little tiny marble. It's a half marble and to make this magic work We have something right here called a microwave kiln now. This has a ring Of a certain type of dust. I can't think of the name. I think it's like a silica Carb something and this is going to heat up to about 1,600 degrees inside of the microwave. You can use probably recommended would be a 1,000 watt one, but you can also use I think somebody said I like it eight to nine hundred watt as well This one over here. I believe a thousand something watt So it should be good for what we're going to be doing today The other things you're going to need is a small kit here is a glass cutter We have a think of nippers and then these are what break the glass With pressure, so let's move these to the side real quick So this is a plain piece of black glass. Let's go ahead and zoom in on it So this is what the glass looks like Just a standard piece has a little bit of texture to it As you can see and then this is the marble that we're going to be using Has a pretty little streak right there inside and part of it see through So basically what we need to do is we need to shape this piece of glass Into kind of a smaller shape. So this is a little bit too big. So what I'm going to do is Actually cut it down the center or actually a little bit off. There we go And then I'll probably just break this one like this pretty easy and Then the other thing that we're going to do is clean up the edges a little bit to kind of refine it for when it melts so what happens is this pulls upward and Basically what happens is if the edges are already kind of rounded out It makes it easier and creates a better shape. So I usually take about this much of it in my little nippers right here And then I just go ahead and Kind of chop them off Also, if you notice my microphone is a little dick up today I'm using the in-phone microphone because I'm out in my garage so Let's go ahead and Continue nipping these off. I still feel like this is a little bit too long But the cool thing about these nippers is you can actually take off large pieces as well Now let's just go ahead and continue around with this off You can do it in smaller sections, too There we go Getting to a circle shape You know working with glass is dangerous. So I make sure you use all the proper safety equipment But it's actually really easy to work with as well So here we go We have a more of a semblance of a circle now And if we just grab the little tiny thing right here We place it down in the center and then this is going to go inside the microwave kiln But before we do that, let me pull out of my drawer real quick We're gonna need some kiln paper and this is just a ceramic type paper that won't catch on fire in the microwave So you just remove this Lay that down right there And then I'm just gonna wipe my glass off real quick to make sure that it's not all smudged up It's better to have your glass clean before you put it inside of there We're just gonna set down that piece And then we're gonna grab the marble and then place that down as well Now I'm gonna go ahead and cut and show you guys me putting it in the microwave And then at the end we're gonna see what kind of really awesome thing came out of here. So stay tuned Alright, let's make sure that your marble is on there be careful and make sure that you Once you put the lid on you just tilt it open just a little bit pick it up So you make sure that it didn't slide around. So let's go ahead and pick this up And set it in the microwave One thing is you cannot use this microwave if you've already used it for glass Because it does give off fumes and it would not be good for your food So just make sure you have an extra microwave that you're good with you know kind of making it only for glass We're gonna take the top of this We're just gonna set it on top make sure it's center. That's still center And we're gonna close the microwave up and then we're gonna put a timer on for about 10 minutes Or check it halfway through and I will see you then all right So it's been about 12 minutes and it's just starting to turn molten It actually might already be done as you can see in there. It is 100% glowing. I'm kind of looking at the edges a little bit You don't want to have it off too much because the glass can crack But I'm gonna let it go for the last two minutes just because I want to make sure those edges are rounded off All right, and now it's been about 40 minutes and we're gonna go ahead and take the top of the microwave down off Move that to the side And then let's just go ahead and touch it real quick Yeah, it's still pretty hot So I definitely wouldn't you know a lot of cold breeze hit it or anything honestly should stay in here longer Let's go ahead and see what it looks like up close Let's go ahead and zoom in on that Pardon the dog in the background Yeah, it melted in there pretty good. It actually Kind of even seems like it expanded quite a bit inside of the black It has some underlying rough edges that can be sanded out because its shape is a little tiny bit off in my opinion But it's actually not too bad. You could even file it to where you can make it more of like a Square shape if you wanted to but it'd be really easy to just wet some sandpaper and file this off into a perfect circle But yeah, what do you guys think this is really easy to just grab a bail and put it on there And you can turn this into a necklace You could embed it into a like a wooden jewelry box or you know something like that too Or it could just be a really good rubbing stone But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and see if we can get a little bit more of a zoom in on here If you liked this video, don't forget to share it with your friends comment rate and subscribe And as always a huge shout out to my patreons.
