Step 1

Pour some resin into a silicone mixing cup, then add one drop of blue and mix well. Add a drop of yellow and mix well to get a dark shade of green.

Step 2

Pour green resin in the leaf connector cavity mould.

Step 3

Cure the resin under the UV lamp for several minutes (or place direct sunlight for 20 minutes) until completely cured. Cool for 1-2 minutes.
TIP: If still slightly tacky, cure again under the UV light.

Step 4

Remove the hardened resin from the mould.

Step 5

Cut two 7½" [19.1 cm] pieces of chain.

Step 6

Open a 6mm jump ring, add one end of a chain piece, the resin leaf pendant, then one end of the other chain piece. Close the jump ring.

Step 7

Add a gem drop to the bottom of the leaf pendant with a jump ring. Set side.

Step 8

Cut a 36" [91.4 cm] piece of transite. Fold in half and attach to a 6mm jump ring with a lark’s head knot. Add a dab of glue.

Step 9

Add fancy jasper beads to the transite to desired length. Tie the other end to another 6mm jump ring. Thread the excess transit through adjacent beads, then trim. Add a dab of glue to the knot and let dry.

Step 10

Attach one end of both the chain with the leaf pendant and the fancy jasper beaded to a jump ring with a clasp and the other end with a plain jump ring.
