In this tutorial, we show you how to make pretty jewelry with resin and a UV lamp suitable for DIY creations. A new way of using resin without waiting for it to dry for several days. Here, in just one minute, it's all done!
This tutorial can be done without the lamp. UV LED resin exposed to sunlight will set and harden, but more slowly.
For this fancy earrings tutorial, no mold is needed: the UV LED resin is poured directly into the pendant. Handy when you don't have the necessary materials on hand, don't you think?
We've chosen to make these dangling earrings with gold primers, but you can also make them in a silver version (find out what you'll need in the product list below).
This is the perfect tutorial for those who love nature jewelry and its poetic spirit. Here, we've chosen to capture the wild grasses that grow everywhere. But you can also immortalize freshleaves orflowers growing in the meadows or in your garden. In this case, you'll need to dry them well for several days, and flatten them into the pages of a book, for example, before using them. What about dried and pressed flowers? Ready to use, they're ideal for making inclusion resin.

This jewel contains a little twig, a little crazy grass that grows everywhere. It's important to use a plant without volume. Iron your herb under a piece of baking paper for 10 seconds.
Prepare your earring primer by taping one side. Make sure it lies flat.
Put on gloves and pour the UV LED resin into the earring spacer, spread it out with a toothpick and push out any air bubbles towards the edge. Position your twig on the resin, then cover it with more resin.
Position your UV LED lamp over your curl. Press the on/off button once, i.e. for 30 seconds, then a second time.
Carefully remove the tape.
Follow the same procedure to make a second earring. Turn your pieces over, and on the side slightly marked by the tape, pour a little resin to erase the marks. Place your earrings under the lamp for a further 60 seconds.
You can varnish your parts to cover both the resin and the metal of the spacer, to make them more uniform.
