Supplies to make mushroom and resin hair clips

  • Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy

  • Color Creator glitter
  • Blank hair clips
  • E6000 or similar adhesive
  • Cups and stir sticks
  • Gloves and eye protection

How to Make Resin Mushroom Hair Clips

Printable instruction card can be found at the bottom of this post. Made by Stephanie of Crafting in the Rain.

Prep faux mushrooms for resin

If you get the same mushrooms that I did, that have floral wire in the bottom, pull out the wire and use rough sandpaper to make the mushroom stem flat. Also, sand a bit off the back so the mushroom can lay flat. Spray the mushrooms with resin spray sealer.

Prep jewelry mold

Spray the jewelry mold with mold release. This mold shape fits 3 mushrooms nicely in a row – use other mold cavities if you want to play with different designs.

Mix and Epoxy

Let the mold release dry while you mix up some resin. While wearing gloves, pour 10 mL each of sides A and B (for a total of 20 mL) into a mixing cup and stir for 4 minutes or until there are no swirls visible.

Fill the jewelry molds about half full with resin. Let sit for 10 minutes to let bubbles release. Tap on the mold to help them rise, and lightly mist with alcohol to pop the bubbles on the surface. Repeat as needed.

Set the mushrooms, flat side up, into the resin. Add a bit more resin to almost cover the mushrooms.

Remove bubbles again, and adjust the position of the mushrooms if needed as the resin starts to set.

After about 4 hours prepare more resin (about 12 mL total this time) and add gold/green Color Creator chunky glitter. Then pour a layer over the mushrooms.

Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy is great for small layering projects like this. Layer depth is recommended at 3/8 inch or less, and can be layered as soon as 4 hours. So it worked great to set the mushrooms, and then pour the bottom glitter layer.

Demold after 24 hours. I find that pressing from the back of the mold helps the pieces pop out.

I did a couple of coats of resin spray sealer to add some shine back to the resin after it came out of the mold.

When the sealer completely dries, attach a clip with e6000. Be sure to not glue the clip closed! (Clip around a silicone mat if needed.) Also, remember to glue them on like they were a pair – one going each direction.
