Amazing Bracelet with sheets of resin



Good day all.  Today I am here to show you a super easy and exciting tutorial on how to make your own bezel pieces. As most of you know I am in love with making jewelry. I make all kinds of fun things and just can't get enough of trying new ideas, especially since I've found the Amazing Casting Products. I just can't believe I've lived without this stuff for all these years. 

A while back I found this awesome bracelet. I picked it up and figured eventually I'd make something... well, eventually is NOW! I've been watching my team mates use up their "spilled" resin to make some awesome things. Well, that got me to thinking...how about I spill some on purpose.

and this is how I started:

First off, I mixed up my Amazing Casting Resin and poured it out on some baker's paper. I don't own a Teflon sheet and this worked just as well. You could even use the glossy side of freezer paper. Try to let it set up on a even flat surface. It created some air pockets, but that's OK - I worked around that.


See how thin it got? Perfect! 


I found the thinnest area of the resin sheet and then I stamped the image
directly onto it with my StazOn® inkpad. Of course it had to be purple!!!


Using my circular punch which was exactly the size for the bezel bracelet,
I punched out random areas of the image... 


... and here are all my circles. 


I placed them into the bracelet with a teeny tiny bit of the Amazing Clear Cast Resin
to keep them from floating to the top because I didn't need to glue them
in place since the disks were made of Amazing Casting Resin.


I then filled the entire well with more Amazing Clear Cast Resin,
repeated for the rest, and let it set up for about 24 hours.


The Amazing Clear Cast Resin is self-doming and leaves a beautiful gloss finish.


And here you have a perfect
One-of-A-Kind bracelet. 


Amazing isn't it?  

Now the best part of this whole tutorial is that I was featured on a blog elsewhere.  I got an email from Susan and told me I had been featured over at ... wait for it...Craftgossip!!!  Can you believe that?  The icing on the cake (as Susan put it) is that the editor raved about my bracelet.  What an honor and if you would like to read all about it go here.

Now stay close because I have some more news coming soon...


but wait, there's more


I cannot wait to show you all about this stuff.  In the meantime, don't forget to check out the amazing talent over at Amazing Mold Putty.  These ladies are fabulous...

As always, have a great day and God Bless.
