How do you fill an ash pendant yourself?
If you've lost a loved one and want to keep their memory close to your heart, you might consider an ash pendant . Ashes jewelry is a beautiful and personal way to remember a loved one, and many people choose to fill them themselves. Here's how.
You can have an ash pendant filled at a funeral home or you can do it yourself with this explanation.
What do you need?
- plate or piece of paper, if you have spilled you can put the remaining ashes back in the bag or urn.
- Cremation ashes: please be aware that they may contain some larger pieces, such as bone or tooth. Remove these.
- Funnel and toothpick or cocktail stick
- glue
- Some ash pendants have a small screw, which you can open with a screwdriver, for example. Other ash pendants have the filler opening near the eyelet.
- cotton swab
First, you need to gather the ashes. A very small amount is enough—just enough to fill the pendant . If you need to hold more ashes, use a bullet mold, which you can fill completely.
Take some ash without any large pieces, open the pendant, and carefully pour it in using the funnel. You can also use a funnel to guide the ash into the pendant. Once the ash is in, use a cotton swab to remove the ash from the threads.
Place the ash pendant against something.
Put a little super glue on a cocktail stick and gently rub it along the threads.
Now quickly close the ash pendant and let it harden for 24 hours before wearing the pendant.
And that's it! Now you have a beautiful ash pendant to hold close to your heart. Filling an ash pendant yourself is a simple and personal way to honor the memory of a loved one.
