MATERIALS

Once the designs are all cut out, purchase or make your own foam pop dots to lightly adhere to the backs of each design. Adhesive should be low tack so the pop dots may be easily removed. Place the designs with pop dots on the back, onto paper plates.

In a well ventilated room, follow the directions on the two part doming jewelry epoxy. Carefully apply the epoxy onto each design (because the designs are raised on foam pop dots, any excess epoxy will drip onto the paper plate.) Allow the designs to dry for at least 8 hours. Once fully dry, remove pop dots from the backs of each design and glue on pin backs with permanent glue. Once glue is dry, color the paper back with gold or silver metallic pens. Add chains or other jewelry findings of your choice, wear and enjoy!
