This page will give outline instructions on how to make a bag charm using a cloisonne enamel effect.
For more tricks of the trade, why not attend a class either privately or at a college. For private classes Contact us and college classes Health and safety. Do NOT EAT OR DRINK while working with resin. Work in a well-ventilated area. | Use Arretil skin protection cream. It is better than using gloves. |
 |  |
Heart shape blank fixed to an acrylic block. Glue some jump rings to the pendant with epoxy glue. | Measure 1gm of red sparkle resin. |
 |  |
Add 0.5gm of hardener. Mix thoroughly. Make a mix of 1gm of orange transparent resin with 0.5gm of hardener and another mix of 1gm white pearl with 0.5gm hardener. | Put the resin into the different areas of the heart with a cocktail stick. Leave to cure in a warm dust-free place. |
 |  |
When the resin is cured add a layer of doming resin over the top. This will intensify the colours below. | Assemble the charm with some beads on silver plated wire. |
