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.

You will also need a lighter for this project.
  1. To begin, please watch our video: How to Use Crystal Clay with Austrian Crystal Chatons. In this video you will see how to mix and use Crystal Clay. You will learn how to embed Austrian crystals into your clay as well as a few tips to help your jewelry dry nicely. From what you learned, mix the clay and place into the bezel. You will need about half the amount of clay. You want just enough to cover the bottom of the ring. Then instead of placing chatons like in the video, you will be placing the glitter roxs into the clay using the magical pick. Allow the clay to dry for 24 hours.
  2. Once the clay is dry, the ring is ready for resin. Make sure the ring is in a secure upright position.
  3. Please watch our video: How To Use Ice Resin. From what you learned in the video, mix your Nunn Design resin. Drip the resin into the ring bezel slowly. Create a slight dome with the resin. Use a lighter to help get rid of any air bubbles. Allow the resin to cure for at least 24 hours.
