How to Make It

Step 1 · Capture the Print

Choose a calm moment — after a nap or meal works best. Take equal parts of the two-part mold putty, mix thoroughly, then gently press your pet's nose into the putty and hold until set.

Step 2 · Fill with Silver Clay

Once the mold has set, press silver clay into the impression. Use the water brush to help shape and smooth the clay. Use the silver paste bowl to keep your clay moist while you work.

Step 3 · Fire and Sinter

Place the shaped clay on the firing mesh and fire according to the instructions. This step transforms the silver clay into solid sterling silver.

Step 4 · Polish and Finish

Use the copper wire brush to remove the white layer, then polish with the silver rod and polishing cloth. For an antique look, apply antiquing solution to deepen the print detail.

Step 5 · Assemble and Wear

Attach the pendant to the leather cord using the jump ring. Place it in the jewelry box. You made this. Wear it. Keep it close. Every single day.
