Turning cabochons into jewellery (Credit: Riechanster)

This tutorial is great for beginners or anyone who loves those cute little cabochons but doesn't want to tackle the art of deco just yet.

You will need:

Findings: ringpads with small or large pads depending on how big the
cabochon is, ear-studs, pendant bails, ... I forgot to include hair clips but 
you can use those too :) You can get these at your local craft store which is
great if you just want one ring or one pair of earrings. But if you want to make
a bunch, be sure to check out the page about online shops, because findings are much cheaper
bought in bulk and in online stores from my own experience.

Glue: best is Epoxy glue or 2 component glue. Hot glue isn't going to hold your cabochons on your findings (been there, done  that).
When using epoxy, you'll have to mix up the 2 components so you'll also  need some toothpicks and a scrap of paper, use an old magazine or some  cardboard from an cereal box (don't use a white piece of paper, reuse is  better!)

And off course your cabochons, you can find these things in beading 
shops, online, ...  just look around  you, if it has a flat back you can use it! In this picture you also see some  fabric roses, little diamonds which they use in scrap booking, you can also use  buttons, broken earrings, and so on.

The Tutorial

Prepare your glue, mixing the components and take a toothpick to add your glue to the ringpad or the cabochon.
I like adding the glue to the ringpad so you won't use to much glue but it will hold.
Hold it in place and let dry.
Finished! Yep, it's  that easy!
