Use Wepam Blanc Nacré cold porcelain to form the horn-shaped pendant.
Add a few small pieces of metal foil.
Using a round cutter, shape your pendant into a horn shape and pierce the top of the horn to attach the cup and ring; unless you prefer to use a bélière. Finally, leave to dry.
Use the mini silicone mould to shape the feathers.
Don't forget to pre-form a hole before drying.
As soon as the feathers have hardened, paint the tip by mixing a little water with Perlex powder.
When your WePam paste elements are dry, varnish with Wepam spray varnish.
Insert gold rings in the feathers. For the horn, either pierce the top of the horn and glue the cup and ring to it, or use a bélière.
Cut 4 pieces of gold chain in the following lengths:
-1.9mm forçat chain link CHU 129: 1 x 75 cm
-1 mm forçat chain CHU 131: 1 x 70cm + 1 x 65 cm
-Fancy drop chain CHR 243: 1 x 50 cm
Slide the horn pendant onto the longest chain, then a gold star onto the next chain, then the feathers onto the 3rd chain.
Tie the 4 chains together with a ring using jewelry clips.
Insert the gold clasp on the other side.
