I was inspired by a threadbanger forum post. I can't find it, though:( I made up my own recipe, but becuase it worked perfectly I did not write down the quantities:) Oops.... I baked the beads and then I let them cool. I then painted them and then varnished them. The !st picture is of the unused beads, the pendant in the second is a the homemade part. And the third is the beads in their unpainted state.
