This necklace measures approximately 18 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively. We also recommend using museum putty to help keep your pendant level as it cures. You will also need a lighter for this project.
- Please watch our video: How To Use Ice Resin. From what you learned in the video, mix your resin and separate the amount you want to color into a cup; about 1 tsp. Slowly add two drops of yellow. If you want a lighter color, you can add a little bit of the white at a time.
- Make sure your pendant is stable and level using the museum putty. Drip the resin into the bezel slowly. Create a slight dome with the resin. Use a lighter to help get rid of any air bubbles. Allow the resin to cure for at least 24 hours.
- Take one head pin, string on one pearl and make a simple wire loop. Trim any excess wire. Repeat two more times.
- The chain used in this project has open links that open like jump rings. Remove two links of the chain and set aside. Adjust the length of the chain to suit your style.
- Find the center of the chain and using one of the opened links, attach it to the pendant and to the center link.
- Move over two links of chain and take the second open link and attach the three simple wire loops to this link in the chain.
- Move to the end of the chain, open the jump ring attached to the lobster clasp and attach it to the end link of the chain.
