Project Instructions:

Other Products: Ice Resin, beads, findings, Pendant, transparent micro fine glitter.

Instructions: Choose a piece of the paper collection to use as your image. Cut it down to an oval shape that will fit into the pendant. You can also use a punch or oval die if you have one available. Cover the front and back of the image with Crystal Lacquer. Let it dry. Add some glue to the inside of the Pendant and then add the image. Let it dry. Mix the resin according to the label. Then add a small amount of glitter. Pour the resin into the center of the image until it fills the space and has a slight rounded appearance. Allow it to dry for 24 hours. Add your beads, findings, and your pendant to the necklace. If you are not comfortable using resin, you can also use the Crystal Lacquer. Just make sure you let it dry completely before touching it.
