← Back to how to make jewellery with resin tutorial

Resin jewellery making is creative and rewarding, but safety must always be a priority. Knowing the right working practices keeps your crafting enjoyable and incident-free.
Personal Protective Equipment
It’s vital to wear nitrile gloves whenever handling resin to prevent skin contact. Protective eyewear shields your eyes from accidental splashes, especially when pouring or mixing. For added safety, consider a long-sleeve shirt and apron to protect arms and clothing from spills.
- Always wear gloves, preferably nitrile
- Use safety glasses or goggles
- Dress in clothing you don’t mind getting resin on
Safe Workspace and Ventilation
Work in a well-ventilated area, such as near an open window or with an extraction fan. This helps disperse any fumes. Always mix and cure resin on a flat, stable surface and keep pets and children clear of your workspace.
- Open windows or use a fan for airflow
- Cover surfaces with disposable sheets
- Keep your area organised for easy cleaning
Careful Handling and Clean-Up
Avoid direct contact with uncured resin and never eat or drink while working. If spills occur, clean them up promptly using paper towels and dispose of gloves after each use. Wash any exposed skin with soap and water if contact happens. Beginners may find using a comprehensive kit, like the Evershine Collection Epoxy Resin Kit, helpful as it simplifies mixing and reduces mess.
When Safe Practices Matter Most
Safe working habits are especially important if you’re crafting in shared or small spaces, or when children and pets might be nearby. Extra vigilance minimises risks to everyone around you and helps maintain a comfortable crafting zone.
