    Remove the baking sheet from the griddle. While the plastic is still warm, cut the circles by pressing the cutter into the softened plastic. Dip the cutter back into the cold water after each cut. This will help keep it from sticking to the plastic. Allow the plastic to cool. You may place the pan under cold running water to speed the cooling process along.

    Use the needle tool to press under the edges of the cooled plastic and remove it from the pan. Pop out the circles. If needed use a craft knife to cut around each one.

    Mix the Envirotex Lite resin following the manufactures instructions. Apply a thin coat to each of the oval cabochons. Allow to dry.
    Tip: I like to place my pieces on a non-stick surface. Held in place by doublesided tape. This way if there is any run off, it will be easy to remove later. Pour the Envirotex into a small squeeze bottle. The application will be more precise. Once the resin has been applied, blow softly through a straw over each piece to pop any bubbles that remain. Envirotex cures completely in 24 hours.

    Gather all the tools, jewelry supplies and components and begin the assembly process. Glueing the cabochons into fancy settings helps take your design from ne to fabulous.
