Instructions:
Please note, you will also need a paint brush, measured mixing cup, and stir stick for this project. Also, remember to double the directions below to make your matched pair of cuff links.
- Start by painting the interior of your cuff link black. Paint one coat and then let it dry fully. Paint a second coat and let it dry fully as well.
-
Snip the loop off one of your pirate charms using flush cutters.
-
Place a small dab of E6000 on the backside of the pirate charm, flip over, and center inside of your painted bezel. Let dry for several hours.
-
Mix up an ounce of resin and carefully pour some into your cuff link bezel - just enough to cover the pirate and create a slight dome. Let cure for 3 full days.
-
Enjoy!

NOTE: You will have a lot of left over resin after you fill your cuff link bezels. I suggest having a couple other projects (that use resin) ready and to fill them at the same time.
Variations
Try using a different shape of cuff link for this project. When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
