By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring. You will need a scrap piece of wire to apply your glue.
- Begin by watching the video on How to Use the Vintaj Relief Block.
- Following what you learned in the video, take your relief block and using the side, start sanding the raised areas of your 2 stampings to show off the detail.
- Using your flush cutters, cut off the loop on your Vintaj diamond mosaic stamping.
- Next, place your Vintaj filigree stamping horizontally onto your work space. See the photo for reference.
- Flip over your Vintaj diamond mosaic stamping and place a tiny dab of E6000 glue onto the back of it.
- Then glue it down onto the center of your filigree pendant. Set your pendants aside to dry.
- Slide a head pin into your jet black teardrop bead and create a simple wire loop.
- Next, watch the video on How to Use BeadSmith's Magical Tray and Magical Pick Up Tool.
- Next, add 9 tiny drops of hypo cement onto the 9 small diamond shape designs on your Vintaj diamond mosaic stamping. Onto each drop, place a Hematite rhinestone flatback using your Magic Pick. See photo for placement details.
- Open a jump ring with your pliers and slide it through your simple wire loop and also through the opening at the bottom portion of your filigree stamping. Close the jump ring.
- Next, open up the loop on your earring hook (the way you would a jump ring) and slide it through the opening on the top portion of your filigree stamping. Close the loop.
- You're done!
