Retired - Zebra Print Crystal Ring

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.

1. First, watch our video on how to use Crystal Clay.
2. Following what you learned in the video, put on the gloves that come with your Crystal Clay. Pinch off one chickpea-sized amount each of white clay and binder, and mix together until blended.
3. Place the clay into the bezel of your ring and gently press it into place. Roll your finger across the surface of the clay to make sure it is spread evenly throughout the bezel, and to remove any fingerprints.
4. Using the beeswax tip applicator that comes with the Crystal Clay, place the Austrian crystal crystal chatons into the clay according to the zebra pattern shown in the photo -- or however you like. We recommend placing the jet black chatons in the clay first, to create the stripes, and then filling in the remaining space with the clear crystal chatons. (Tip: You will want to get all of your crystal chatons placed in 1 hour or less, before the clay dries out too much to work with easily.)
5. Let the clay cure for 14 to 16 hours, or overnight. Your ring is ready to wear!
