You will love how easy this ring is to make!
- Begin by snipping off the loop part of your button on the backside. Please do not use your good flush cutters for this, it will destroy them. If you have a pair of wire cutters in the garage or your utility drawer, use those. Cut as close to the flat part of the button back as possible.
- Using your diamond file, sand down any raised rough edges remaining from where you snipped the loop off. You want it to be flush with the button itself.
- Watch this video here about applying Gilders Paste with your fingers and without a paint brush. Carefully apply silver Gilders Paste to the raised areas of the button. Be sparing and only apply to the raised details, you want a lot of the copper to show through.
- Once dry, spray 3 light coats of clear matte finish acrylic spray sealant. Let dry between each coat. We used a product put out by Mod Podge which can be found at many craft and art stores. Let dry fully.
- Take your ring band and place a dab of E6000 onto the flat glue-on pad. Press this into the center of your Steampunk button backside. Let dry fully.
- You're all done! Enjoy!
