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.

In addition to the materials listed above, you will also need a disposable mixing cup, measuring cups to measure tablespoons and teaspoons, tap water, and a popsicle stick to stir the concrete.
  1. First, please watch our video on how to make concrete jewelry.
  2. Based on the instructions in the video, mix your tablespoon of concrete and fill the square bezel so the concrete level does not quite reach the top. Place your compass into the center of the bezel with "north" at the top. Then place 4 pewter eyelets near the four corners of the bezel, standing up. Let the concrete cure fully before moving on to the next step.
  3. Once the concrete is cured, take one Nunn Design silver key ring and slide on the loop of the square bezel.
  4. Enjoy your key ring!
