How to Make a DIY Resin Pendant
Gather your supplies and you are ready to make your own cute Halloween necklace in no time at all. I am adding eyes to my glass domes but you could add small spiders or anything else that will fit inside the globe. Make this project your own and have a unique necklace perfect for spooky events and parties.
Supplies
- EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy
- Universal Transparent Dye in green
- Candy eyes
- Small bowl necklace
- Necklace chain
- Jewelry glue
- Jump ring
- Jewelry pliers
- Measuring cups
- Mixing cup
- Stir sticks
- Protective gloves
Instructions
- Add eyeball candies to the inside of your globe. Move them around as needed to get the look you want.
- You will need these to stand up while your resin cures. I used this paint pallette but you can just try a few things around your home until you get something that works.
- Then you can mix your resin according to the package directions. Remember to follow all safety precautions including wearing gloves.
- Tint the resin with the transparent green pigment and stir again.
- Pour the green resin into the globes until the candy eyes are completely covered. I actually didn't worry about any bubbles during this project as a few will actually add to the look. You then need to let these cure completely. Allow to sit overnight.
- Once cured, you can attach the top to each of the globes using jewelry glue. Apply the glue to the top then add the top to the necklace. Allow to dry completely.
- When everything is dry, attach the globes to a necklace chain with some jump rings and jewelry pliers. Then your necklace is ready to wear to any Halloween party you are attending this year!
I seriously love the way these necklaces turned out. They are perfect for wearing on Halloween to the office or to make just about any outfit festive. Any Halloween lover really needs one of these necklaces so be sure to make one for your friends as well.
