Instructions:
- To begin, take your heart paper punch and punch out a piece of plain white paper with it. On the back of this paper, smear a layer of Nunn Glue. Flip over and press into place in the base of your Patera heart bezel pendant. Smooth out with your fingers and let dry. Coat with 2 layers of Nunn Sealant, letting each coat fully dry before painting on the next layer.
-
. Fill your Patera heart bezel pendant 1/2 way full. Let cure for 24 hours.
-
Locate on your transfer sheet the image in the shape of a heart with a bird watching over her nest. Take your heart punch and carefully line it up with the image. Punch out. Follow the steps in the to transfer your image right on top of the first layer of resin you poured the day before. Smooth out with your fingers.
-
Paint a layer of sealant over your transfer image. Let dry.
-
Mix up another small amount of resin and pour into your collage pendant all the way up to the top (be careful not to overfill). Check for air bubbles after several minutes and remove any with a heat source such as a micro torch. Keep checking back every few minutes and remove any bubbles necessary. Let cure for a full 3 days.
-
Open a 4mm jump ring and link it to the last chain link on one side of your 2 feet of chain and the loop at the base of the round toggle clasp ring. Close the jump ring.
-
Open another 4mm jump ring and link it to the last chain link on the other side of your chain length and the loop at the base of the fern leaf toggle clasp bar. Close the jump ring.
-
Fold your chain in half so that you can find the middle link. Into this link, open and link a 6mm jump ring and before closing it, link it through the loop at the top of your heart bezel pendant. Close the jump ring.

Tip: If you want a shorter chain length, just simply cut the chain before attaching the clasp sides.
Also, transfer images can be very sheer, that is why you are putting the white paper "behind" it. If you want to use a different colored paper, feel free to do so - just remember that the transfer image will take on what ever color you choose.
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.
