By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- Begin by watching the video on How to Use Crystal Clay.
- Based upon what you learned in the video, put on your gloves and mix up a small gum ball size amount of black Crystal Clay. Roll it into a round shape.
- Place your mixed crystal clay into the bezel setting of your earring finding. Gently mold it into the setting, making sure it spreads out to all the sides and forms a slight dome in the center.
- Using the beeswax tipped toothpick that came with your Crystal Clay kit, pick up chatons one by one and place them into the clay. Please refer to the photos often and mimic my exact design. I recommend starting at the center point with the largest 8mm fancy stone and working your way around.
- Once all your stones use your fingers to push the clay up around the bezel of the ring and also press down on the clay to smooth it all around.
- Let your ring cure overnight and enjoy.
