Robin's Nest Dew Drops and Cool2Cast....
Ann Butler on Jan, 25, 2012 at 2:24 PM

When I received the

Robin's Nest Dew Drops

I was impressed by their presentation....

cute little bottles filled

with beautiful color....

 

These little jars are just filled to 
the brim with these cute 
little stones....

Now What to do with them....
a couple weeks ago I was playing
I was having so much fun that 
I was putting all sorts
of items into it to
see the results....
 

 So I got out my Dew Drops, Cool2Cast & Molds...

 

 Mixed up my Cool2Cast

 

 Put the Dew Drops into the bottom of my molds...

 

 

 Poured my cool2Cast into the molds...


 Let them set for an hour...


 Popped them out of the molds and

as you can see the stones are a bit covered 

and hard to see....

 

 I easily sanded the top

so the stone was showing and set.

 

  I got out my crayons...

 

 

To create a design...


I added paint for color...

check out Cool2Craft Web TV

for step by step on how to do 

the resist technique...so COOL!

 

Then I added a glaze to the top, leaving
the Dew Drop uncovered....

 Then made jewelry by adding to a ring base...

 

 Or putting onto a necklace cord....


 The Dew Drops are a great little accent

to each piece....
