Instructions in 11 steps Copper-coloured decorative metal flakes make these earrings out of jewellery cement shine. And this is how it works:
1

Step 1

To cast the jewellery-cement-pendant you need a rubber casting mould, a digital scale and a small plastic container as well a craft wooden stick for stirring. The mixing ratio: 1 part of water : 5 parts of jewellery-cement.
2

Step 2

First, weigh the water in a cup and then add gradually the jewellery-cement. Stir it with a craft wooden stick until a homogeneous mass arises.
3

Step 3

Now, you can fill the mould with the casting compound. The mould should always be cleaned with detergent and water before being filled. If bubbles occur, you should tap few times the mould on the pad.
4

Step 4

The temperature and the current air humidity determine the drying time. It is however advisable to demould the pendant only the next day. Allow post drying.
5

Step 5

The upper side, in other words the subsequent reverse side, you can rectify with some fine sandpaper.
6

Step 6

For the metallic stripes, glue the high-transparent, double-sided adhesive tape horizontally onto the lower third of the jewellery pendant at respective distance. Remove the protective foil and lay crease-free the Deco-metal flakes on the adhesive surface.
7

Step 7

Press slightly the decorative metal with a finger. Now you can remove the overhanging flakes with a clean flat brush by spreading them horizontally over the decorative metal surface.
8

Step 8

To seal the metallic stripes, spread accurately the Protective Varnish with a fine brush onto the stripes. Let it dry well.
9

Step 9

Open 8 mm wide the ringlet by using two flat pliers. Hold firmly the ringlet with one pair of pliers while the gap of the ringlet is facing up, now open the ringlet backwards by using the second pair of pliers. Hang in the jewellery-cement pendant and the 4.6 mm ringlet. Close the ringlet by using the both pliers.
10

Step 10

Hang the ear-hook into the 4.6 mm ringlet.
