I love looking for inspiration online and I came across really cool looking tiny earring posts from Urban Outfitters. I thought I could replicate the look on a bigger canvas (cabochon sized pendant) so I set out making it using cheapo materials.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 Round Bezel Blank Pendants
  • 7 Dark Colored Nail Polish
  • Mylar Flakes
  • Jewelry Pliers
  • Chain
  • Jump Ring(s)
  • Clasp

Steps (6 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Flood one side of your blank pendant with nail polish. Using a darker-colored nail polish works best as it will make your mylar flakes pop out. Wait for that to flatten and dry.

  2. 2

    Get some clear polish and give the pendant a thin coat, just enough for your mylar flakes to stick to.

  3. 3

    Add your mylar flakes. Mylar flakes are just the flakies you get for nail art at the dollar store (sometimes) or online.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle at random spots until you get the look that you want. Don't touch and wait for that layer to dry as well.

  5. 5

    Take your clear polish and coat the pendant twice with it, waiting for each layer to dry before applying the next to prevent excessive bubbling. If you want to skip this step, just use a round cabochon the size of your bezel.

  6. 6

    Assemble your chain and thread your pendant in - and you're done!
