Created by Bonnie Egenton

Materials List -
Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel™ (UTEE™) - Clear, and your choices of
    Pearl, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, and/or White or Black

Melting Pot® -(2)
Inkssentials™ Non-Stick Craft Sheet™
Melt Art To Dye For™ Colorants
Melt Art Kool Toolz™
• Mini Donut Pan dedicated to craft use
• Leather cording
• A variety of glass beads

Instructions  

(1) Set up both Melting Pots, starting with Clear UTEE in both. Tint one of the Melting Pots with 2-3 drops of blue To Dye For. Blend well, but slowly with Kool Toolz spatula. Remember: too much stirring causes air bubbles in the UTEE.

(2) In the second Melting Pot, melt some Black and Pearl UTEE. Because the opaque UTEE is coated in pigment, it becomes much thicker than Clear UTEE when melted in the Melting Pot. Do not stir.

(3) Sprinkle in a pinch of White and a pinch of Platinum. Let melt.

(4) Pour from the Clear Melting Pot into the Opaque Melting Pot. Do not stir.

(5) Carefully pour out mixture from the mixed Melting Pot into the mini donut molds. Pour in a circular motion to create a marbled look.

(6) Let UTEE donuts cool. Pop out of mold.

(7) Knot UTEE donut onto leather cording and string with glass beads. Tie ends of leather cording into knot for closure.
