Create this simple sparkly earrings and pendant set, out of resin and blanks, with our easy step by step tutorial.
Step 1: Lay out the pieces
Place the perspex block from the resin kit onto a piece of card. Lay the pendant flat and place the earring blanks into the holes to keep them flat during the resin process.
Step 2: Protect your skin
Apply the Badger Balm or put on the latex gloves to protect your hands.
Step 3: Mix the resin
Using the scales, weigh your resin (1g is plenty for this project) with 5% of this weight being the pink paste. Weigh your resin into a mixing pot at a ratio of two parts resin to one part hardener. (1g of resin with paste added and 0.5g of hardener).
Step 4: Add the glitter
Add a little glitter, stir slowly and well but not vigorously, with a wooden stirrer.
Step 5: Fill the blanks
Use the mixing stick to pour a few drops of resin into each earring blank. If necessary, use the mixing stick to carefully push the resin up to the edges of the blank. Continue adding drops of resin until a slight dome forms. Do the same to the pendant blank, then leave to set for at least 24hrs.
Step 6: Finish
Attach a Silver jump ring to the loop on the pendant using a pair of flat pliers, then feed the chain through. Add your scrolls to the back of the studs
and you’re complete.
