Description

Instructions

1. 

   Prepare the paper - napkins have three layers which you will need to separate. Use the top layer only. Cut a central motif to fit your pendant, trim if necessary.

2. 

   Brush an even layer of decoupage glue on the flat side of the cabochon.

3. 

   Place the paper motif, carefully tap into place and brush more glue on top. Allow to dry.

4. 

   Block the motif with acrylic paint. Allow to dry.

5. 

   Cut paper shapes in a different colour to create a second layer: this is what will be seen behind your central motif.

6. 

   Turn the cabochon over and glue the paper shapes to the flat side. Allow to dry.

7. 

   Trim the edges.

8. 

   The final step is to glue the cabochon to the metal bezel with Diamond Glaze. Allow to dry for an hour or so and you can start wearing your new piece of jewellery!
