Instructions:
NOTE: This project is VERY easy to make and great for a beginner crafter.
-
To start, take your 1" glass cabochon and move it over your collage sheet so you can see how the images will look inside the confines of the setting.
-
Once you have selected which image you want to use and where you want to place the glass cabochon on top of it, spread a layer of Nunn Glue on the flat back side of the glass cabochon - all the way to the edges. Flip over and press into place over your selected image. Press firmly to spread out the glue. The glue will appear foggy and white but will dry clear.
-
Once your glue is fully dry, use your scissors to cut around the cabochon. Cut right up against the glass edge.
-
Using a small piece of scrap wire as an applicator, or your finger tip, spread an even layer of Crafter's Pick glue onto the backside of the glass cabochon with paper adhered to it (so you will be spreading it on the backside of the paper). Flip over and press into place in the Aanraku bezel setting. Make sure your image is facing upwards when you press it into the bezel setting.
-
Let dry.
-
You're finished!
Variations:
These lovely Aanraku bezel setting key chains can be customized with one or two part resin instead of the glass cabochon. You can use various other collage images, personal photos, or even cut outs from greeting cards and magazines.
When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

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.
