Did you know you can set something as fine as grains of sand in a pendant using jewelry resin? We did just that with this craft which gives the pretty pendants a bit more dimension and interest.

How to Make Beach Themed Jewelry Pendants

Preparing the Bezel

Trace your bezel onto watercolor paper with a pencil.

Use various shades of blue and brown to create a shoreline affect . First, dip the paintbrush in the darker blue paint color and mix with water. Lightly paint the upper third of the circle or oval to resemble the sky. Next, mix water with the lighter blue paint color and apply it to the paper just below the painted “sky”. Lastly, mix biege with water and paint the lower third of the circle shapes to resemble the sand. Let dry completely.

Cut out the watercolor paintings to fit the inside of the bezels.

Seal the cut out into the bezel using the water-based sealer. Cover the surface of the painting with the sealer as well.

Sprinkle a little bit of sand onto the shore part of the picture while the sealer is still wet.

Use a generous amount of glue to place a metal charm along the “shoreline”. Let dry completely (I left mine overnight to be sure).

Adding the Jewelry Resin

Be sure to read all the instructions prior to working with your EnvirotexLite Jewelry Resin. Work in a well-ventilated area and protect your working service.

The bezel needs to lay flat and level on a table top or other flat surface. If needed, prop one end of the bezel to ensure it is level for pouring the resin.

Mix equal amount of resin and hardener in a small mixing cup (I had a total volume of 1oz to make four pendants). Mix for 2 minutes then pour into a second small mixing cup. Stir for another minute.

Carefully pour the resin into the bezel wells. Be careful not to over-fill, although you do want a small dome to form on the surface of the pendant.

Let the poured resin rest for about 15 minutes and then blow off any bubbles arising to the surface with a small kitchen torch. Alternatively use your own breath through a straw but make sure no moisture touches the resin.

Use a toothpick to pull out any larger bubbles, especially around the metal charm. Cover and let the resin cure 24 hours.
