Now you can make your own cement studs with this DIY cement studs tutorial, you won't believe what I used as a mold to make it !!
Materials needed - Cement - Pill & Gum Packs - Earring posts - Glue - Copper Gilding - Brush - Tape
This DIY is so easy, just pop out the pills & the gums from their packs, remove the outer covering. Now prepare your cement mixture and put the cement in the packets with the help of a popsicle stick Push the stick against it to avoid air bubbles which will end up being holes if not taken care. Scrape off the excess with your stick and tap it to further to settle it down
For the marble effect, fill in the cavity with around 75% of the white cement to one side and then go ahead with the black one for the rest. Now with the help of a toothpick push the black cement inside and keep doing till your happy with the effect. I used a see-through packet for the marble effect so I can control the situation better. Now let this cure for a day
Here comes the fun part pop out the cement and they will slide off smoothly. And now it’s up to you to choose to leave it as it is or paint it with copper gilding You can then tape it the way you desire and paint them and keep aside to dry for few minutes
Now glue down the earring posts to the cement’s rough side
You are done now and these studs are simply ravishing, don't you think!
