Hobnail Heart Pendant Tutorial

We now carry Art Mechanique Hobnail Pendants!

Directions to make the hobnail heart pendant:
1. Start with blank tray.
2. Cut or punch out paper for pendant.
3. Coat each side with crystal lacquer. Let dry.
4. Apply thin coat of ice resin to tray.
5. Add the paper heart. ...Press down to release any air bubbles.
6. We then added some word stickers. We wanted an antique look, so we brushed the edges with a black permanent marker.
7. Next, we added random items- embossing powder around the edges, faux brown pearl stickers, mica flakes, and a little glitter.
8. Fill tray half way with ice resin. Let dry. Then, add just a little more of the random items. This gives the pendant more depth between the decorations. Fill tray to top with ice resin. Let dry.
9. Add a necklace strand, and you are done! Enjoy your hobnail heart pendant necklace!

Peel Nail Polish Earring Tutorial

These peel nail polish earrings are so easy to make! And, you don't have to limit yourself to earring trays. You can use this same technique with necklace pendants, ring pendants, and more!
Here are the steps:
 1. Start with your peel an stick nail polish.
 2. Cut out the nail size you will be using. It needs to be slightly larger than the glass and pendant tray.
 3. Grab your pendant tray. We used our earring trays.
 4. If you have a paper punch the size of you tray, use that. Otherwise, you have two other options. First one, set the glass on top of the polish and cut. You want to cut the polish slightly bigger than the glass.
 5. Second cutting option is to place the polish over the tray and cut carefully.
 6. Once they are cut to proper fit, peel off the protective back to expose the adhesive.
 7. Stick into pendant trays.
 8. Carefully apply a small amount of E6000 to the edge of your glass.
 9. Insert the glass into tray. Wipe away and excess glue, and you're done!

 Pendant trays, glass cabochons, and E6000 can all be found at www.willowruncrafts.com or www.etsy.com/shop/karenscraftsupplies

Magnet Polish Pendant Tutorial

This pendant is fun and easy to make!

Materials: pendant tray, pendant glass tile, Sally Hansen magnetic nail polish, clear base coat nail polish, E6000, necklace strand, crystals (optional).

1. With your pendant glass face down, apply a coat of the clear polish. Let dry.

2. Grab your magnetic polish and have the magnet cap they provide ready to use!

3. Now, add a generous coat of the magnetic polish. Go quickly to step 4 because you do not want that polish to dry.

4. Take the magnetic cap and hover over the polish as close as you can, 10 seconds each area. You will see the waves form! Continue until entire polished area has designs. Let dry.

5. Apply another layer of clear polish. Let dry.

6. Now apply some E6000 to the back of the glass (the same side you just painted). Gently set into tray and press down firmly. Once dry, add to a necklace strand, and you are done! For extra bling, you can also glue on a few crystals!

If the waves don't turn out right on your first try,  no worries, just clean the glass with nail polish remover, and try again!
