Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by watching the instructional video: How to Use Crystal Clay.
2. Based upon what you learned in the video, prepare a piece of gold Crystal Clay the size of a large gumball.
3. Gently mold it into the setting making sure it spreads out to all the sides and forms a large dome in the middle.
4. Remove any excess of clay from the edges. Refer to the photo for reference.
5. Pour out some gold plated seed beads from the tube and begin pressing them down to cover the clay. Keep pressing until they are just barely embedded in the surface of the clay. If there are empty spots, add individual seed beads while being careful not to alter the shape of the dome while it is still drying.
6. Once your dome is completely covered with the gold seed beads, set aside to dry.
7. Open up your jump ring with your pliers and slide on your bezel pendant and your finished gold plated chain. Close the jump ring.
8. Allow the clay to fully cure before wearing.
9. Your necklace is now done.
