Now apply the UV Led resin with a wooden spatula or silicone tools as you prefer.
Place under a UV LED lamp to catalyze the resin

Place an open ring flat on the back of the ear stud. This ring will slide into the open ring placed vertically on the back of the oval stud in the next 2 steps.
Use your jewelry clips to deform open rings into a rounded rectangle shape.
Place the flattened parts of the rings at the back of your crimps vertically. To do this, hold them with a pair of pliers before catalyzing a dot of UV Led resin. Be careful to place the rings in the right place according to the desired arrangement. Here, they are placed in the center of the long length of the oval.
Resin the entire back of the seam
Catalyze under the lamp again
Use a brush to work the edges of your crimps for a more beautiful finish

Repeat this step as necessary.
Gently open the rings attached to the back of your crimps with your pliers. Rotate them but do not pull them apart as this could cause the resin to pop.
Connect your ear stud to the oval crimp and close the ring with your pliers.
Repeat this process to connect the 16mm round crimp to the oval crimp.
Your pair of earrings is finished! Have fun with shapes and colors.
