Step 10
To make the drop earrings I just drilled a hole from the back to the front using a variable speed power drill. You can use a hand drill or a ratchet Archimedes drill, but after quite a bit of experimentation I found that I got a better finish with an electric drill.
The hole needs to be about 3mm from the edge - too close to the edge and the resin will be weaker - too far and you will need a very big jump ring to attach it to the earring. I like to draw a dot on where I want my drill hole with a Sharpie pen.

Step 15
To turn this larger resin pendant piece into something I could use on a necklace I simply wrapped it with some 8mm silver plated wire. I formed the coil shape first with some pliers. I then held the spiral of wire at the front while wrapping the rest of the wire around the top and then the bottom, finishing by forming a hanging loop at the top with some round nosed pliers.
