Stamp with the StazOn Pigment Snowflake and the Viva decor Peacock stamp one of the blue glass piece to a size that you like.
Press the edges of the glass piece on the VersaMark ink pad, cover with embossing powder and heat set. While each side is still hot, press again on embossing powder for a thicker layer. Pay attention to hold the glass pieces with pliers or similar tool to avoid burning for the heat tool.
When glass pieces are cold, place a jump ring with the jewellery glue on one of the sides and let the glue set well. Alternatively, add a small amount of hot glue, press the jump ring and cover with embossing powder. Heat set the embossing powder shortly (as the glue is already warm) to give the impression of a solid setting.
Cut 50cm long pieces of the chain and add jump rings and a lobster lock.
