Remember to double these instructions to create your matched pair of earrings.
- Put on a pair of protective gloves (a pair comes with your clay) and get a small piece of both part A and B of your white Crystal Clay. Make sure you have equal amounts of A and B. Knead these together for several minutes until completely combined.
- Roll the clay into a ball and smoosh it down into your earring bezel. Make sure there is a little bit of excess space in the bezel for the charm and smooth down your clay.
- Use a pair of flush cutters to snip off the ring at the top of your Vintaj natural brass moon charm.
- Center the charm in the bezel and gently push it in until it rests just under the edge of the crystal clay.
- Apply a tiny dab of E6000 glue to the back of an SS9 crystal foiled flatback rhinestone and place it onto your charm next to the moon. Repeat with two more rhinestones, placing them where you like (see photos for placement suggestion).
- Allow your glue to dry and clay to harden for at least 24 hours before wearing.
