How to Make Resin Jewelry: 4 Free Projects, Plus a Bonus Guide to Resin Jewelry-Making Supplies When I first discovered resin jewelry-making, I think it appealed to me because it was so much like making snow globes (which I love) in jewelry. I can put anything inside that I want to treasure and preserve, and then wear it like a pretty little reminder. If only there was a way to put shakable glitter inside resin jewelry. . . but I digress!
Adding strength and protection to delicate items like old papers (love letters, swoon!) and dried flowers by encasing them in resin is an added bonus to being able to wear them as meaningful jewelry. I love being able to turn little found objects into wearable art by embedding them in resin. Flowers and leaves, ticket stubs, special notes, seashells and sand, bits of lace or meaningful fabric (from a grandmother's hanky, so sweet)--all of these fragile treasures are ideal candidates for preserving and protecting in resin . . . and then you can enjoy wearing those memories around with you. (Or hang them up for pretty and meaningful home decorations or Christmas ornaments!)
In our new resin jewelry-making eBook, How to Make Resin Jewelry: 4 Free Projects plus a Bonus Guide to Resin Jewelry Supplies, you'll learn to make four great resin jewelry projects--a ring, a cuff bracelet, a pair of earrings, and a pendant. You can make them just as they are or modify them to suit your style; then use the techniques you've learned to make your own handcrafted resin jewelry.

You can solder the simple seam in the outer bezel or use a pre-made component, depending on your skill and interest; the rest of the silver wires are securely embedded in the resin. Brilliant!
