How To Make An Easy Resin Ring
Materials
Magic-Glos UV Resin by LisaPavelka.com
1 Square Bezel Ring Blank, 26mm
1 Printed computer graphics laser film
1 Sequin
1 External Locking Washer
Chunky Glitter
Old Map
1 Micro Watch Part
Beacon’s Premium Tacky Glue
Clear packing tape
Tools
Scrapbooking Micro-Scissors
Toothpick
UV Blacklight or The Sun
Steps
1. Cut a square background image from the map using the ring as a template. Laminate with two pieces of packing tape. Leave a frame of packing tape around the image when you trim. Glue into the ring bezel using a toothpick and the Tacky Glue.
2. Trim the silhouette film and set on top of map. Glue into place.
3. Layer a micro watch part and a sequin into the ring and glue in place with the toothpick and tiny dots of glue.
4. Sprinkle a tiny amount of glitter into the ring (approximately 12 pieces).
5. Fill the inside of the ring bezel with resin covering all the goodies inside.
6. Cure under the UV blacklight or outside in the sunlight for 15 minutes.
Your ring needs to be level while it cures in the UV rays. Crumple a small piece of foil to hold the ring in place. Check it with a level, then pour on your resin. Magical!
