Hi friends! Sharing the how-to for making your own out-of-this world galaxy-inspired resin bracelet for a space-lover in your life.
Making Resin Bracelets
Prior to us crafting with resin, I always wondered how those interesting, colorful and unique pieces of resin jewelry were made. Now that we’ve been resin crafting for several years, it’s finally clear to us. We’ve made several resin jewelry pieces such as jewelry pendants with pressed flowers, these glitter-filled resin jewelry for the holidays, resin pendants with lavender and these beach-themed jewelry pendants.
This is however, the first time we’ve made resin bracelets and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Choosing the right mold is the first place to start.

How to Make Resin Bracelets:
Be sure to read all the instructions on the package before starting. Work in a well-ventilated area. Always wear gloves and protect your working surface.
Preparing the Resin
Begin by mixing together equal parts of resin and hardener in a small measuring cup and stir consistently for two minutes.
Next, transfer the mixture into a second measuring cup and continue stirring for an additional minute.
Divide the mixed resin into four separate cups.
Next, add a few drops of black, purple, blue glitter or silver glitter paint. Stir each completely with separate stir sticks.
Pouring the Resin
Start with one of the colors such as black and add a little bit to different areas of the bracelet mold. Make sure to leave some areas without any black resin.
Take a second resin color such as the clear glitter resin and fill in some of the other areas of the bracelet mold. Continue randomly pouring bits of the different colors of resin to get a layered and swirly effect.
Continue until the mold is filled. Consider sprinkling bit of clear glitter in a couple areas of the mold.
After about 15 to 20 minutes blow off any air bubbles that have risen to the top of the mold. Use either a small kitchen torch or your breath through a straw for this.
Make sure that the bracelet is on a level surface and cover to prevent any dust from settling in. Let the resin cure overnight.
Remove the bracelet from the mold and enjoy! It’s the perfect accessory for my space-loving teen.
