- Begin by watching the video: How to Use Crystal Clay with Austrian Crystal Chatons. From what you learned in the video, put on your gloves and mix up a gum ball sized amount of white Crystal Clay. Mix in a small dash of Sparkle Dust, just enough to give it a shimmer.
- Place your mixed clay into the bezel setting of your ring finding. Gently mold it into the setting, making sure it is evenly domed.
- Using the beeswax applicator or the magic pick, place the six larger chatons in the striped pattern alternating colors (please see photo).
- Once your six larger chatons are placed you will begin placing the two smaller sizes of crystal chatons all around the ring. You may create a pattern or scatter them where you feel they fit best. The idea is to go for maximum sparkle. Have fun with it.
- Once all your chatons are placed, set the ring to dry in an upright position.
- You ring will be fully cured and ready to wear in 24 hours.
