Sparkling Hearts Necklace

This pendant is made from a heart shaped piece of acrylic that is painted, covered in tiny no-hole beads and then resin coated.

Step 1: Supplies and Equipment

Supplies and Equipment:

2" heart pendant base (pink acrylic is shown, but this could really be painted wood, other acrylic or anything similar)
black paint
silver no-hole beads in two sizes
heart shaped rhinestones
clear glue - clear nail polish or clear craft glue are good choices
clear glaze - I used a tabletop resin
toothpicks or a rhinestone tool
masking tape
utility or exacto knife and cutting surface
gloves, a mask, and surface protection for safety when using the clear glaze
