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. Begin by watching the video: How to Use Crystal Clay.
  2. Based upon what you learned in the video, put on your gloves and mix up a gum ball size amount of black Crystal Clay. Roll it into a round shape.
  3. Reserve a very small bit of mixed crystal clay, about the size of one of the chatons.
  4. Place your mixed crystal clay into the bezel setting of your ring finding. Gently mold it into the setting, making sure it spreads out to all the sides and lays flat across the top of the finding.
  5. Press the spider charm, remove the jump ring first, into the lower right quadrant of the clay. See photo for reference.
  6. Take the small reserve of crystal clay and place it into the loop at the top of the spider where you removed the jump ring. Using the beeswax or the magic pick, place one chaton into this opening, see photo for reference.
  7. Continue to pick up chatons one by one and place them into the clay into the shape of a spider web around the spider. Please refer to the photos often and mimic my exact design. I recommend doing the straight lines across the web first.
  8. Smooth out the crystal clay and make sure each chaton is sitting into the clay.
  9. Let your ring dry upright overnight and enjoy.
