Metal Collage Tutorial: Filigree Ring, by Claudia Bruno
What You Will Need:
B'Sue Boutique filigree adjustable ring
Filigree stamping (any size)
Ceramic rose or stone
E-6000
Start by applying a small dab of E-600 to the back of the ceramic rose. Center the rose in the middle of the filigree and let it set.
E-6000 is very forgiving and allows you time to move your finding around for perfect placement.
Wait about a half an hour and glue the base of the filigree (face down) to the adjustable ring.
I placed the upside down yring between two stacks of paper plates.
Two hours later, the ring was ready to be photographed! You can remove the excess glue with a pair of pliers.
And voila! Wasn't that easy???
