Pearling

Etch 'n Pearl tools make beautiful little pearl shaped designs that sit nicely on the surface of a project. Pearls can be easily created anywhere on the surface of your project. For a really striking look, we recommend seating them.

Seating Pearls: Step 1

Use the Ball Tool from the Clay Tool Variety Set or one of the Ball Ends from the Style & Detail Tool Set to make a recessed area where you would like to place a pearl. Depending on what size pearls you desire, use a ball tool that corresponds to the size of the pearl. For example, for small pearls, use the smallest Etch ‘n Pearl and the 6mm Ball Style & Detail Tool.

Seating Pearls: Step 2

Make balls that are about the same size as the end of the Etch ‘n Pearl Tool. Set a ball in each recessed area. Seat the pearl in place by gently pushing straight down over it with the Etch ‘n Pearl Tool.

Seating Pearls: Step 3

For extra hold or when placing pearls on a flat surface, spread a small amount of Bake ‘n Bond in the desired area and cover with pearls.
