Gidget Earrings
Project E731 [Skill Level: Intermediate]
Designer: Julie Bean
These cute retro earrings are a great project for summer. The pearlized mint green resin looks very "vintagy" when poured into a half round resin mold and then attached to a clip on earring finding. This kit has enough supplies to make 3 complete pairs of these earrings!

Instructions:
Please note that you will need a mixing cup and a stir stick for this project.
- Begin by watching the video: How to Add Pearlizing Powder to Resin.
-
Based upon what you learned in the video, mix up a batch of resin with green transparent dye and pearlizing powder added to it.
-
Pour your resin into the half round cavities of your 3/4" round resin mold. Fill the mold cavities full but do not try to dome them or have them spill over. Let cure for 3 days.
-
Pop your resin rounds out of the mold. You can see more information about using resin molds in the video: How to Use Ice Resin, Molds, and Color Dyes to Make Jewelry.
-
Place a dab of E6000 glue onto the glue-on tab of your clip on earring finding. Attach this to the backside of one of your rounds. Press into place and let dry overnight.
-
Repeat the above steps to make your matching earring.
-
Enjoy!
