Instructions:
NOTE: We used a small amount of fine teal colored glitter in this project. You can easily find glitter at craft stores or choose to make this project without any glitter. You will also need an inexpensive paint brush.
-
Using your flush cutters, carefully cut off the loop at the top of one of your silver plated flower charms.
-
On the back of the flower charm from the step above, place a small dab of E6000 adhesive. You can use a toothpick or piece of scrap wire as an applicator. Flip the flower charm over and center it in the middle of one of your silver plated attic window charms. Press into place and let dry.
-
Locate on your transfer sheet the elongated heart image. Using the McGill paper punch which is this exact size, punch out the transfer image. Following the directions in the tutorial , transfer the image to the inside of the Patera large heart bezel pendant. Use your fingers to smooth out. Paint a layer of Nunn Sealant onto the top of the transfer image. Let dry.
-
and after it has been fully mixed, add any glitter you want and stir again. Pour the resin into the heart bezel, almost all the way to the top but not quite. Carefully take the flower/window charm combination you made in the first couple steps and set it down into your heart bezel. I choose to lean it up against the middle curve of the heart (see photo) but you can place it anywhere you like. If it's not leaned up against an edge, it will sink. Check back after a few minutes and see if any air bubbles have materialized. If so, remove them with a heat source such as a micro torch.
-
Let your resin pendant cure for a full 3 days.
-
After your pendant has cured, open a 8.5mm jump ring and link it to the loop at the top of your heart and the key ring. Close the jump ring.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
