Cute and Easy Floral Resin Earring DIY Tutorial
In this resin earrings DIY, I’m going to show you how to make some gorgeous epoxy resin earrings, surrounded by a gold bezel frame.
If you love flowers and you also like a bit of metal in your jewelry, these earrings combine both. Grab your materials and let’s begin!
Please remember to wear gloves and other relevant safety equipment when using resin!
Tools and materials:
- Goggles
- Gloves
- Apron
- Epoxy resin
- Flowers
- Tweezers
- Round nose pliers
- Long nose pliers
- Cutter tools
- Rubbing alcohol
- Resin mold
- Metal bezel frames
- Epoxy resin
- Jump rings
- Fish hook
1. Mix the epoxy
Mix your one-to-one ratio of epoxy. You want to do this before you put the flowers in so that if there are any little bubbles, they can go to the surface.
2. Place flowers in molds
Pick up flowers with your pliers and place them in the molds. You can keep the design simple with just one flower or add multiple flowers.
Be careful that your tweezers don’t break the petals or scratch the mold.
Be warned that if you use a flower with lots of petals, bubbles can hide amongst them.
3. Spray flowers
Next, spray the flowers with 91% rubbing alcohol to eliminate the bubbles as much as possible.
Bear in mind that when you spray the flowers, the spray bottle will release some air which can move the flowers around slightly, which is a bit frustrating.
4. Pour over resin
Now pour the resin on top of the flowers and then spray the resin with rubbing alcohol.
If your flowers move out of position, you can use your tweezers or a toothpick to gently get them back in place while also removing any bubbles.
5. Leave to set
Wait 24 hours before you unmold your resin pendants.
6. Place jump rings through pendants
Then take your pliers and open up your jump rings pretty far to make sure you can get it in the pendant.
Place the jump rings through the pendants.
7. Add bezel frame
Then close it up just enough, so there's a gap so you can slip it into the bezel frame that you want to surround your resin with.
Doing this is a lot easier than trying to close that big gap over both the resin and the frame.
8. Add other jump rings and hook
Add on two smaller jump rings, followed by the earring hook.
