Expert Posts: 1538 Location: South Dakota	Has anyone ever tried making these? Do you make them just like you make the resin jewelry? I have contacted a couple different places that make them but they don't sell them seperate. I would need to order tack as well but I don't need the tack just the conchos.

I've never tried to make them. That is what I was thinking too. I may give it a whirl and see how it turns out. Seems like it should not be that hard but I bet it is not that easy either. LOL. I will probably have my fingers glued together or something.

Cover the area with epoxy clear( found in craft stores). Let this dry in a container or place a container upside down over it. You won't believe how much dust can accumulate on the sticky surface if you don't. Takes a day or 2 to dry.

Elite Veteran Posts: 927 Location: Iowa	I run the sealer around the stones so they are embedded in it.
