You will also need a small piece of packing tape, and a few toothpicks for this project.
- Take your heavy duty flush cutters and cut off the loop of the shamrock charm. You can use a metal file to smooth out any sharp edges, if you have them.
- Please watch our video: How to Use Colorized Resin in an Open Frame Hoop. From what you learned in the video, cut a square of packing tape and place the large hoop in the center. Then place the small hoop towards the top center of the larger hoop. Then place the shamrock, face up into the bottom of the hoop. I chose to set mine off center but you can place it where you like. (Please see photo for reference)
- Mix the Nunn Design Resin. You will then add a very tiny drop of green coloring to achieve the light transparent green color. If you want a darker color, add the color slowly to build to your desired effect.
- Pour the resin into the hoop, very carefully so as not to drip it into the small hoop. Allow your pendant to cure. You may need to use a heat source to bring any bubbles to the surface.
- Once your pendant has cured for at least 1-3 days, remove the tape and take the finished chain and create a larks head knot through the loop of the pendant.
