Using the sponge dauber lightly cover about 5x18cm surface of the Worbla transparent sheet with the StazOn Ultramarine and Tea blue colours. Cut the coloured piece.
Heat well the cut piece of Worbla and wrap it to form a ball.
Using a round rolling tool, flat a bit the Worbla ball and cut small pieces with a pair of scissors. Heat each piece and flatten further. Remember to heat before cutting the pieces as the Worbla will harden and become difficult to cut.
Open holes with a piercing tools close to the edge on each of the flatten pieces. Place a jump ring with the round nose pliers.
Lay the pieces and set them to the form that necklace should look. Add some chain on the pieces that need lay longer on the cord.
Place the faux gemstones with metallic beads on the leather cord and set a clasp lobster and a cap end.
