- Use a toothpick or scrap piece of wire to spread a thin, even coat of E6000 glue onto the back of a 13 mm round amethyst foiled glass cabochon. Center it in a 13 mm antique silver plated round lace edge bezel cup and press firmly into place. Allow the glue to dry for at least an hour before moving on.
- Use a toothpick or scrap piece of wire to spread a thin, even coat of E6000 glue onto the back of the bezel cup. Center it over a 36 mm silver plated pimpernel flower petal filigree stamping and press firmly into place. Allow the glue to dry for at least an hour before moving on.
- Use a toothpick or scrap piece of wire to spread a thin, even coat of E6000 glue onto the back of the filigree stamping, being careful to apply the glue only to the filigree and not where there are holes. Press firmly onto a piece of grey ultra suede and allow to dry for at least an hour before moving on.
- Use a sharp pair of scissors to trim the ultra suede right along the edge of the filigree stamping.
- Use a toothpick or scrap piece of wire to apply a thin, even coat of E6000 glue to the glue pad on a silver plated clip on earring finding. Place the filigree piece face down and center the earring finding with the hinged edge of the earring just inside the edge of the filigree stamping. Press firmly, allow to dry for at least an hour before moving on.
- Use a round shape between 3/4" and 1" (such as a nickel) to trace two circles onto a spare piece of grey ultra suede with a ball point pen. Cut out the two circles.
- Use your finger to apply a thin, even coat of The Ultimate glue to one of the ultra suede circles. Open the clip on earring hinge and place the ultra suede circle over one side of the back of the earring finding, leaving a bit of the circle around the edges of the earring finding.
- Use your finger to apply a thin, even coat of The Ultimate glue to the one side of the other ultra suede circle. Line it up with the other circle and press, glue sides together, to sandwich the back of the earring finding between the to circles.
- Allow all of the glue to dry for at least 24 hours before wearing.
