Work on a silicone mat so you can use the resin directly on it without it sticking to the mat. Pour the UV Led resin directly onto the strand of hair, then use a pointed object to push the hair into the shape of a moon, allowing the strand to be inserted into the pendant. Place your 8UV Led lamp on top of the hair and press the start button once.
Place your resin wick inside the pendant and cover with resin. Use a toothpick or other pointed object to push the resin against all the edges. From a distance of 1 cm, use a lighter flame, for example, to make all the little bubbles burst and disappear.
Press the lamp switch twice for 60 seconds of light.
Gently peel your pendant from the mat, then turn it over. The side that was in contact with the silicone has a matt finish and to make it transparent again, you need to resine this new side by doing the same thing as the previous step.
Thread your pendant through a ready-to-use choker with a fine chain and lobster clasp.
