Description

Instructions

1. 

   On a flat surface lay out your wooden disk and various findings. Play around with shapes and combinations until desired collage look is achieved. At this point, I took a picture so that I could go back to this arrangement later.

2. 

   Lay out your various findings and disk onto cardboard, laying flat.

3. 

   Prepare area outside or in well ventilated area for spray painting. Following spray paint directions, apply several coats, letting dry in between each application. Make sure to also flip and paint other side as well. Don't overspray...this may cause puddling on your surfaces.

4. 

   At this point, I actually sprayed another coat or two of spray all over the piece. I then coated it with a shiny spray sealer.

5. 

   Open and close jump rings with pliers and add to capiz shells. Open and hook ear wires to each jump ring and close. Yay! You now have a really cool pair of earrings not just for Valentine's, but something to wear year round! Every pair is totally different and unique!
