  1. Knead equal parts of the molding putty together and create a flat ball

  4. Cut angel hair into small pieces so it looks like chunky glitter
  5. Mix a small amount of the Glaze Coat together

  7. Pour into the molds and pop bubbles with a small torch or lighter
  8. When set (wait 8 hours) paint the backs with different colors of nail polish
  *This will give the opals different colors

this is so neat! I was just at a spring fair and I had hoped to find a opal ring but to no success. I will have to try this one out!
