How To Make Resin Pendants

I would like to try it!

Great tutorial...thanks so much!

Love it; thank you! I've wanted to try resin for years, but I'm always too scared (chemical processes & chemistry in general has always terrified me!)...

Q: Do you know if there are any resins available that can be more easily used indoors? I live in a tiny apartment, & it's hard to get good ventilation (& no outdoor area of my own to use). :/

I've used glossy accents to get a similar effect. Do you have to worry about air bubbles when working with resin?

Boo my pics turned black and splodgy dispite putting two layers of mod podge on them. Is this air bubbles or not enough glue? Help!

Love the Mr T reference, makes the whole project more fun xx

As soon as I saw the Mr T pic, I knew this was gonna be good

Lol! I thought this said 'rasin' at first! Great how-to. I cant wait to make one!

Thanks so much for this! Have you got any tips for getting the perfect circle for a picture when making round or oval pendants? I can never get them perfect!

This has got to be the best step by step instructions on making Resin pendants etc. Etsy is loaded with blanks,pics etc. Type in search window on Etsy do: supplies also: graphics. I sell on Etsy and I always try to buy from other shops for my supplies. Hope this helps others. LOVE this site!

where did you buy your resin? tnx

Do you think you could use mod-podge instead of resin?

I have a question. I purchased a resin prop model kit at a convention. It is a white resin that still needs to be painted and touched up modeled after the Auryn necklace from the Neverending Story. I noticed today that there is one spot where there should be an opening (hole), but the resin was never cut out of that spot. The pendant is not that thick (about 1/4 inch). I wanted to know the best way to make this hole. Is it possible to crack the resin and ruin the pendant? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

very clear tutorial. i was totally lost before on how i could possibly make one of these things, but after reading your post, well, i'm off to the hardware tomorrow. thanks.

You know what Jennifer, etsy is CHUCK full of awesome cheap pictures that can be sent right to your email box!

Is there a good website where you have found the pictures and images that you use for your pendants. I have been searching but can't really come across what I am looking for. I was hoping you might have some tips. Thanks so much!

just a quick question, where can i get the uh, metal necklace things from in picture four? is there any online places at all?
thank you
xo

I got them at a craft fair. .. the epoxy.. I'm not sure. what is the name?

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

Two questions: I bought epoxy resin from the hardware store...would that work okay?

Two: Where did you find those awesome images? It seems a mystery to me where people find those retro images...

Thanks for commenting!! Glad I could be of service!

Thanks so much for posting this! I was looking at the stamps on my mail today and wondering if there was anything I could do with them ^_^.

Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! I finally made my first one and it came out perfectly but one thing... I should have checked it one more time after I thought all the bubbles were gone. This morning there were 4 tiny spots. I'm sure I'll try to camoflauge that area with a wire wrap or something! I can't wait to do the next one!

Where did you get the metal blanks??

I've always wanted to know how to do this! thanks for sharing!

I got them from some craft show I went too.. I know they're super rad. I bet someone on etsy has some.

This is so awesome, thank you so much for the tutorial!
By the way, where did you get your watch parts? I'm having a hard time coming across some, haha.

It's so easy.. I didn't know how easy it was until I learned.

Also another top tip.
Using just old crazy stickers. My friend got my all these old school religious stickers and I'm totally going out and buying more supplies for this.....

and I 'll get to it.. eventually.. lol

Nice, I've been wanting to try a bit of resin work. Will give it a go once I get some spare moneys to buy some

I'm gonna attempt resin, but with a mold! A little nervous!

This is really cool I love your style and the way you describe how to do all this. Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

In your pictures you have cute metal backings for the faces of your pendants, and I was just wondering where you get those?

Yeah you can search around.. Here's one place to get them.
