Instructions:
Please remember to double these instructions to create your matched pair of earrings.
- Select a pattern that you like from the Middle Eastern Art collage sheet. Using a pencil, carefully trace the #20 circle on your circle template. Trace your shape to one side of the rectangle so that you can fit two in the one space.
-
Cut out the circle carefully just inside the pencil line.
-
Place a small layer of Diamond Glaze onto the back of your image and press it into a Nunn Design antique silver plated bezel earring. Smooth it down to remove any bubbles under the image and allow to dry.
-
Pour a thin layer of Diamond Glaze onto the surface of your image. Use a toothpick to really make sure that the glaze is all the way to the edges under the lip of the bezel. Be very thorough and get all those bubbles out or it will not dry right.
-
Place a Nunn Designs brass marigold stamping into the center of your bezel and press it down into the glaze. Try to pop any bubbles with the toothpick before the glaze dries. Allow the glaze to dry.
-
Then pour another thin layer of glaze into the bezel around the flower stamping, and allow to dry.

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.
