DIRECTIONS:

GOLD RESIN TRAY
  1. Mix equal parts resin and resin hardener, stirring slowly for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Mix gold foil flakes into the resin.
  3. Pour resin into the mold. Use a mixing stick to work the resin into the edges of the mold.
  4. Let the resin cure on a flat surface for 24-48 hours.

CLAY EARRINGS
  1. Begin by kneading 1/4 of each color of clay until soft and workable.
  2. Roll clay into thin rods. Rods can be different thicknesses across the colors but should be about the same length.
  3. Arrange the rods together and roll to combine.
  4. Roll, fold, twist, and/or spiral the clay until it reaches the desired marble effect.
  5. Use the acrylic clay roller to roll out marbled clay onto the clay mat. The thickness of the clay should be between 1/8" and 1/4".
  6. Use the clay tools to cut out shapes as desired.
  7. Bake clay pieces according to the directions on the clay blocks.
  8. Once clay pieces have baked and cooled, adhere earring posts with Gem-Tac and allow to dry at least 24 hours.
