In this workshop, you'll learn to make hollow pendants that can be opened and closed to contain fragrances or a prayer or talisman. You can choose from eight color recipes to create pomander pendants in two shapes: cylinders and cubes. You'll also learn how to add chain, beads, and charms to personalize your unique pendant.
