1. Please watch the video: How to Use Nunn Design Resin to Seal Pressed Organics onto Flat Tags for Jewelry.
2. Set up your flat tag in a well-ventilated and dust-free area.
3. Put on your face mask and disposable gloves. Based on the technique shown in the video, mix the resin in a mixing cup and stir with a craft stick gently until all striations are gone.
4. Following the technique shown in the video, prepare your organics and position them onto the flat tag. Then use a toothpick to apply the desired amount of resin to the entire surface of the flat tag. Remove any air bubbles with a heat source such a small torch. Let the resin harden and cure for three days before proceeding.
5. To hang your pendant: Use flush cutters to cut a 7.75 inch length of rolo chain. Open a 6.5mm jump ring and attach the hole on one side of your flat tag to one end of your chain. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step to attach chain to the opposite side of your necklace.
6. Open another jump ring, and attach your lobster clasp to one side of your necklace. Close the jump ring. Open one more jump ring and attach it to the other side of your necklace. Close the jump ring. All done!
