Resin Journal Charm

Journaling is HOT and so are the accessories that go with them.  

Today I am sharing how easy it is to create a Resin Charm to hang off of your journal.

Materials:

• EnviroTex Jewelry Resin 
• Castin’Craft® Transparent Dye, Green
• Bezels 
• Seed beads
• Lobster claw
• Jump rings
• Pliers
• 1oz mixing cups
• Stir sticks
• Toothpicks
• Lighter

Instructions:

Gather all of your supplies.

Measure equal amounts of the Jewelry Resin and hardener into a mixing cup.  Mix for 2 minutes...

and then, pour into a second mixing cup and stir for 1 minute.  Add a drop or two of pigment.  I filled the bezels a few different ways.  Do all three or choose your favorite.

  Drop resin into bezels with a toothpick.  Work with several bezels at one time, so you will have them ready for quick projects and gifts.

Use a lighter to remove any air bubbles that may rise to the top.  Set aside for 8 hours.

Add a small amount of resin to the bezel, then fill with seed beads and let dry or cover with a small amount of resin, using a toothpick.

Set these aside to dry for 8 hours.

 Add jump rings and attach to a lobster claw.

Place on your journal and enjoy.
