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.

Please note you will also need a disposable mixing cup, some way of measuring tablespoons and teaspoons, tap water, and something such as a popsicle stick to stir your concrete.
  1. Please watch the video: How to Add Color Pigments to Concrete for Jewelry.
  2. In the video you will learn how to mix your concrete and add the pigment. Based upon what you learned in the video, mix up a batch of blue concrete and fill your triangle bezels. Let cure before going onto the next step.
  3. Open the loop at the base of the earring hook (the same way you would open a jump ring) and attach it to the loop on the triangle bezel. Close the loop back up. Repeat this step for your second earring.
  4. All done, enjoy!
