Notice the clarity and depth achievable with different resin types—aim for precision to achieve these results in your own pendants.

Step 1: Set Up Your Workspace

Begin by preparing a well-ventilated, dust-free area to work in. Lay down a disposable cover or silicone mat to protect the surface. Gather all your tools, accessories, and safety gear so everything is within reach before you start mixing resin. Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when working with resin. Keeping your workspace clean helps prevent unwanted debris from marring your pendant’s finish.

Step 3: Mix and Pour Your Resin

Prepare your chosen resin according to the manufacturer’s directions. Measure resin and hardener according to product instructions for best results. For small-batch handcrafting, “One-2-One” – Epoxy Resin for Handcraft, 1:1 Mixing Ratio is a good choice because its 1:1 ratio minimises mixing errors and gives a clear, glossy finish. Mix slowly, scraping the sides and base of your container to avoid introducing bubbles.

For bezel designs or when working with multiple quick layers, you can opt for “UV–Creation” – Fast Acrylic Resin, 3 Minute UV Cure, which requires no mixing and can be cured under a UV lamp layer by layer. Whether using epoxy or UV resin, pour slowly into the centre; use a toothpick or skewer to nudge resin into detailed corners or around inclusions as needed.

Step 5: Demould, Finish, and Assemble

Once the resin is fully cured and hard to the touch, gently remove pendants from the mould or bezel. If there are any sharp or uneven edges, sand them carefully with fine-grit sandpaper or an included mini drill from your kit. Attach findings such as jump rings, chains, or tassels to transform your cured piece into a wearable pendant. Customise further as desired—resin does not require sealing but can be polished for additional shine.
