Resin Jewelry Making for Beginners

Purple Star emoji 30 items
I love creating and finding new interesting crafts to try, this year I'm expanding on my Resin journey and I bought a Resin Jewelry making kit and wow, I'm loving it!  Making resin earrings, pendants and next to try will be keychain charms.  Once you have all the right supplies and tips you'll be on your way to a new craft and I'm sure you'll love it too!  These resin earrings and pendants can be attached to cards and sold at craft fairs or consignment artisan shops or given as gifts.  I like to give them to my mom and sister as well as friends.

Items for Protecting Yourself and Surface

Resin can drip and stick to tables and floors as well as your fingers so you'll want to protect surfaces and your hands and clothing! Also always work in a ventilated area, open windows or outside in an open area or garage.  Depending on the type of Resin I recommend a respirator mask.

If your respirator doesn't have a eye shield or goggles then I recommend using safety googles or glasses to protect your eyes from any splashes that might happen.

Protect your clothing with an apron, or just be sure you have old clothing dedicated to crafting and that you don't mind parting with.  Resin stains are permanent.

A disposable tablecloth is a good idea, you can toss it after it's been dripped on and is too sticky to work on anymore.

A silicone mat or plastic mat is another great tool to have when doing your resin crafts.
