Making resin earrings is a fun and creative project that can be done with just a few supplies. Here are some steps to follow when making resin earrings:
- Choose your bezels or molds: Bezels are the metal or plastic frames that hold the resin. You can find them in different shapes and sizes, such as circles, squares, or hearts. Molds are used to create 3D shapes, such as flowers or animals. You can find them in silicone or plastic.
- Prepare your bezels or molds: Before starting to work with the resin, make sure you have your jewelry items ready. Choose your bezels, molds, or casings, and have the flowers or other items you’ll be casting on hand. Different types of casings will require different kinds of preparation to make them ready to receive the liquid resin.
- Mix the resin: Resin is a two-part compound that needs to be mixed together in equal parts. Follow the instructions on the package to mix the resin and hardener together. Mix slowly for 2-3 minutes to avoid creating bubbles.
- Add color: You can add color to the resin by mixing in a small amount of acrylic paint or resin dye. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
- Pour the resin: Carefully pour the resin into the bezels or molds. Use a toothpick or small stick to move the flowers or other decorative items around in the resin.
- Cure the resin: Follow the instructions on the package to cure the resin. This usually involves letting it sit for 24-48 hours in a warm, dry place.
- Add earring hooks: Once the resin has cured, you can add earring hooks to turn them into earrings. Use pliers to attach the hooks to the bezels or molds.
