Hi this is Becky Nunn with Nunn Design
I'm guest designer for Beadaholique.com
in this project we're going to be making some very fun
stacking bangle bracelets
using crystal clay and chatons. I love this project. I mean this is just
too fun and too easy. For this you'll need to have
a bangle bracelet with a little bezes on it, some crystal clay
and some chatons. The first step of this project you want to pinch off
two equal-sized balls once you put your gloves on
the gloves are included within the package from crystal clay
when the clay
is not mixed together, so this resin colored one
is when you're gonna want to have your gloves on, go ahead and
mix the clay fully and so there's no longer any marbling
you have 90 to 120 minutes to work with the clay before it starts to get
hardened and you no longer can embed the crystals in
so for a project like this you can really take your time
when the clay is fully mixed it'll look like this. Next you wanna pinch of
3 equal sized balls
you can test to see, way too big so you can cut that
even in half
I'm going to want even less clay than that. All though if you took
smaller chatons and didn't, actually that looks cool even like that
we're gonna want to embed a crystal in there so
even smaller than that
so the equal sized balls that you are gonna pinch are going to be like a
quarter of a size that you saw when you start this
that's just about perfect
once you have your clay press down into each of the bezels
you want to use your beeswax toothpick
which is included inside of your box of crystal clay
to pick up the crystals, center it
and press it in. I want to have a nice
amount around the outside, equal
distance of the clay, so it's black, an even black
move onto the next
pressing it firmly down inside of there
then you wanna get yourself a bunch more because these bracelets are meant to wear
stacked. How fun is that. This is Becky Nunn for Beadaholique.com
creating a great project using crystal clay
and the bangle bezels.
