How to Make Dangle Earrings with Resin

Don’t go out shopping to try to find the jewellery to match your outfit when you can make resin earrings all on your own! You can always match from now on once you make these.

Resin earrings- fun for everyone!

Not only can you make resin earrings to perfectly match your outfit, but it is a fun craft to do with your kids as well. We chose red glitter as these would be perfect for Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but you could choose whatever works best for the occasion. Or you could simply choose your favorite color in general!

I wish I had known about resin earrings sooner. These make incredibly thoughtful gifts and are a lot easier to make than I thought they would be. This will give great one-on-one time to your daughter or any kid that wants to have craft time with you.

Another great idea is to have children make these for grandmothers or other special people in their life. This is a handmade gift that they will not forget.

How to Make Dangle Earrings with Resin

Apply a mold release / conditioner to the jewelry molds as per the instructions in the package.

Mix exactly equal amounts of Resin and Hardener into one measuring cup. I used very little of each, only about 10 mm and it went along way as you’ll see.

Stir continuously for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the container.

Pour the mixture into a second cup and stir for an additional minute, scraping the sides of the container and stir stick.

Once combined add a generous amount of glitter to the desired molds.

Pour the resin into your desired jewelry molds to the top of the mold.

Gently blow off any air bubbles that have risen to the surface of the resin (you may need to repeat this a couple of times during the initial curing process). Cover the pieces to keep dust out and let cure overnight. 24 hours for a soft cure and up to 72 hours for fully cured jewelry.

Remove the pieces from the mold. With a sharp utility knife trimmed around any of the sharp edges on the back of the pieces. If needed, glue the earring pins on to the backside of the jewelry pieces.

For the pendant drill a small hole into the top of the resin through it you can insert a round jump ring.
