A Domed Resin Pendant
Is Simple To Make
Making a domed resin pendant using resin, colored paper and a pendant frame. It is a very easy type of jewelry to make. There are a large range of pendant frames and images available. For this project I used the following: 1 pendant frame "Ice" Resin Japanese gift paper Mod Podge Mixing cups Stirring stick Safety glasses Protective gloves Commence by cutting out the image you wish to use; the image should fit neatly inside the pendant.
When using paper, card, photo or anything porous it must be coated with sealant to prevent the resin from seeping into it and destroying the image.Firstly coat the underside of the image with Mod Podge or white glue. When dry, apply another coat and fit inside the frame whist the glue is still tacky. Apply a coat of Mod Podge all round the edges and over the image. Repeat if necessary.
Remember to always wear your protective gloves and glasses whilst working with resin.When image is dry pour 1 part resin and 1 part hardener into separate cups. Pour hardener into resin and stir for a few minutes to ensure it's fully mixed. Use your mixing stick to gently apply mixture into the frame until the image is completely covered. Continue to add mixture until the frame is full and the resin begins to mound up in the middle.
If any bubbles form either use a heat gun, or blow gently across the frame to remove the bubbles.Place a cover over the frame to protect it from dust and leave to set as per the maker's directions. Although difficult to see the dome this is the finished product. You can use this method on frames of all shapes; it can also be used with silicone molds.
