Be impressed by the ease and versatility of resin jewellery making.
Building on the success of her first book, well-known crafter Sara Naumann provides over 50 new projects that are modern and straightforward to replicate. She demonstrates how simple and quick resin jewellery is to make, using minimal equipment and readily available products. Sara guides you through the resin process which involves mixing and measuring chemicals. Relevant safety information is included, along with a troubleshooting section.
The technique is very easy: simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a mould, bezel or pendant. Sara uses pre-made, inexpensive moulds in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all achievable and look professional.
You can add numerous items to the resin to create different effects. Paper or foil inserts can provide a background for the bezel, for example old maps or photographs. Paper can be sprayed or stencilled before being coated with resin. You can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers, feathers, shells and beads, or use glitter, coloured inks or nail polish to personalize.
Learn to imitate a broad range of fresh, stylish projects to make your own bespoke wearables or give them away as gifts.
