Instructions

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. Cut a piece of rhinestone cup chain that is 15 rhinestone links long.
  2. Next, please watch the video on How to Use Crystal Clay.
  3. From what you learned in the video, mix up a large pea size amount of violet Crystal Clay. Roll into a ball.
  4. Place your cut piece of rhinestone chain into the ring bezel, facing upwards. The 15 link rhinestone chain should make a perfect circle inside the bezel.
  5. Place your violet Crystal Clay ball in the center of your ring and carefully start to flatten it out so that it pushes against the rhinestone chain on all sides. You will want to keep the clay slightly domed in the center and then use just the lightest touch of your fingertip to smooth over the surface of the clay so that any fingerprints or dents are removed.
  6. Take your Nunn Designs brass honey bee and press it into place on top of the Crystal Clay mound in the ring's center.
  7. Let cure overnight.
  8. Enjoy!
