Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preparing your workspace. Cover your surface with wax paper to protect it.
- In a small container, combine coarse sea salt with glue. Start with a few spoonfuls of salt and add glue until you achieve a thick paste.
- Add gel food coloring slowly, choosing one color or creating a gradient by layers.
Molding
- Take small amounts of the mixture and press it gently into the center of the ring base.
- Continue to layer different colored mixtures around the first, leaving some space for the crystal-like appearance.
Drying
- Allow the rings to dry on the wax paper for at least 24 hours.
- Once dry, carefully fit the adjustable ring bases onto your fingers.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry place. Use a pouch or box for protection. You can reimagine the rings by applying a fresh layer of glue and salt.
