Dark Shadows Necklace

I love how Johnny Depp decided to keep the classic vampire look for Barnabas Collins. Almost all classic vampires have beautiful heirlooms with them and I have decided to "recreate" his ruby necklace. 

Since I do not have a red ruby there are a few ways to do it. One is to get a fake ruby from craft stores or to create a fake red ruby with red paper. I have decided to use the 2nd method as I have all the materials at home.

 This is a simple project. You need:
1) A necklace (I am using one I braided for another previous project)
2) A cameo base setting and clear epoxy resin stickers (I got them on etsy)
3) An ornament
4) A red paper
5) Hot glue gun
6) Sissors
7) Jump rings

 Step 1:
Cut the red paper such that it fits the cameo base setting.

 Step 2:

Stick the red paper to the cameo base setting.

Step 3:
Stick the ornament on the centre of the necklace.

Step 4:
Stick the clear epoxy resin sticker over the cameo base setting.

Last step:
Attach the cameo base setting onto the necklace with the jump rings.

Tah Dah! Your own ruby necklace!

Do I remind you of Barnabas Collins? :)
