Easy DIY Abstract Paint and Resin Necklaces

Supplies:

• Envirotex Jewelry Resin Kit (includes resin, hardener, mixing cups, stir sticks, plastic glove, instructions.)
• Acrylic Paints
• Jewelry Bezels
• Toothpicks
• Micro butane torch (optional)
  

Applying Paint:

Drop random drops of paint using a few different colors into your bezels.

Add enough paint that you’ll be able to cover the bottom of the bezel completely. 

Use toothpicks to drag the colors around, covering the bottom, and making designs in the paint. Be sure not to over mix the colors or they will turn brown. I did very little mixing, just pulled the toothpick from one color to the next in a couple different patterns. 

For this I just pulled color from the middle outward.

For this one I swirled the colors, but was careful not to swirl too many times.

Finally on this one I pulled from one side upward.

Now let the paint dry completely. I gave them overnight to dry. As you can see, the paint shrinks and turns into a plain matte finish. 

Adding Resin:

Time to make those necklaces beautiful! Resin gives it a very polished and finished look. 

First, you’ll put on your gloves and mix equal amounts of part A and part B of the resin in the small mixing cups that come in your kit. For these three necklaces I used 1/4 oz. of each and had plenty. 

Mix them thoroughly together until it is no longer cloudy. 

Now pour the mixture into a second cup and stir again. This ensures that ALL of the resin is thoroughly mixed and you will have no soft spots.

Now pour the resin into the bezels with care. Be sure not to over pour. Go slowly. You have about 20 minutes of working time with this resin so there is no reason to rush and spill. 

I used some spare toothpicks to make the bezels level since the loop where the necklace goes through protrudes a little on the back.

 

Either exhale over the pendants to pop the bubbles or use a micro butane torch. The carbon dioxide is what pops the bubbles.

Let cure for 24 hours.

Voila! Now you have beautiful, unique and easily made Paint and Resin Necklaces! Make one for every outfit!
