Preparation and Safety Guidelines

Tools Needed
  • spring flowers
  • resin tape
  • pearlized micro powder (pearlized eyeshadow)
  • ring mandrel
  • file or sandpaper or dremel
  • UV resin
  • flat textured wire (5mm)
  • flush cutters
  • mixing bowl
  • mixing utensil
  • small mat
  • pencil

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ring Base

    • Prepare materials and workspace.
    • Cut a piece of resin tape (approximately 4 inches) and shape it into a round ring using the ring mandrel.
    • File the edges of the tape ring to make them flat and straight for better joining.
    • Join two tape ring halves together, securing with a small piece of tape.

Tips

  • Don't put too much pressure when filing the tape, or it will go out of shape.
  • Use a small piece of tape as a stopper to prevent the tape from sticking to the work surface.
  • When placing flowers, ensure they are facing downwards for a better aesthetic.
  • Use a heat gun to remove bubbles from the resin, but be careful not to blow the resin out of the mold.
  • For the final resin layer, use a mixing utensil to dab it on instead of pouring to avoid resin flowing over the edges.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Air Bubbles in Resin

Reason: Improper mixing or pouring techniques can trap air bubbles, leading to an uneven and unprofessional-looking ring.
Solution: Gently heat the resin to reduce viscosity and carefully pour, using a toothpick to remove any surface bubbles.

2. Uneven Flower Placement

Reason: Flowers are not evenly distributed or properly secured within the mold before resin is poured, resulting in a lopsided or unbalanced design.
Solution: Arrange flowers meticulously within the mold, using tweezers to position them perfectly before adding resin.

3. Resin Not Fully Curing

Reason: Insufficient curing time or improper curing temperature can leave the resin sticky, weak, and prone to damage.
Solution: Ensure the resin is left to cure for the recommended time at the specified temperature, using a dehumidifier in damp environments to speed up the process if needed.

FAQs

What kind of resin should I use for this project?
For best results, use a high-quality, crystal-clear epoxy resin designed for jewelry making. These resins typically have a slow curing time, allowing for proper flower placement and minimizing air bubbles.
How do I prevent air bubbles from forming in my resin?
Gently mix your resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour slowly and avoid shaking or stirring vigorously. You can also use a heat gun or toothpick to carefully pop any small bubbles that do appear before the resin cures.
