How to Make UV Resin Earrings

Hey there, creative souls and crafting enthusiasts! Are you ready to step into a world where artistry meets elegance, and where the sparkle of glitter dances with vivid hues to create stunning accessories that reflect your unique style?

Today, Meg Epps of Maker Magic with Meg Epps by Lyndly Grove is showing us how to make UV resin earrings using Dispersion Colors and Glitter.

These fun and simple earrings promise to elevate your jewelry game and add a touch of handmade magic to your accessory collection.

Let's dive into the steps for creating these dazzling pieces that will surely turn heads and spark joy wherever you go!

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

To begin your journey into crafting UV resin earrings, gather your essentials. Along with your PPE and UV Resin you also get to choose your favorite shades of Dispersion Colors and Glitter.

You can follow along with the same combinations that Meg uses. Or you can come up with your own gorgeous combinations. It's hard to go wrong with a Dispersion Color/glitter pairing!

Step 2: Mix and Blend

Pour a small amount of UV resin into a medicine cup and add a drop of Dispersion Colors. Stir gently to blend the pigment evenly, creating vibrant hues that will bring your earrings to life. Want some added shimmer? Sprinkle a pinch of glitter into the mix and swirl it in for that extra touch of magic!

If you want the two tone look that Meg shows us in the video below, add the color to one medicine cup. And your glitter to another.

Step 3: Fill the Molds

Carefully pour your colored resin mixture into the earring molds, ensuring even distribution and covering any desired areas with glitter for that eye-catching effect.

Let your creativity flow as you experiment with different color combinations, patterns, and designs—each pair of earrings is a unique creation. Each one more fun than the last.

Step 4: Cure and Set

Once your molds are filled, it's time to cure the resin using a UV lamp. Place the molds under the light and let the magic happen as the resin solidifies, locking in the colors and sparkle.

Curing will create beautiful, durable earrings that are as unique as you are. And, since UV resin cures in a matter of minutes, you won't have to wait long for a flawless finish.

Step 5: Unveil Your Masterpieces

After the resin has cured, carefully remove the earrings from the molds and marvel at your handcrafted creations. Admire the depth of the colors, the glimmer of the glitter, and the overall beauty that radiates from each pair of UV resin earrings.

These pieces are not just accessories—they're expressions of your creativity and passion for crafting.

Step 6: Style and Shine!

Now that your UV resin earrings are ready, it's time to showcase them with pride! Pair them with your favorite outfit, gift them to a loved one, or simply wear them as a symbol of your craftsmanship and individuality.

Let these handmade treasures adorn your ears with style, grace, and a touch of artisanal charm that sets you apart from the crowd.

Step by Step Instructions

Start by making sure your molds are clean of any debris. If you have any stray bits of glitter or dust, use tape to easily remove them.
Choose a Dispersion Color and a coordinating glitter.
Add some clear UV Resin to two medicine cups. In the first cup, add the glitter you have chosen and mix it well.
In the second cup, add a drop of Dispersion Color and mix that in too. A little goes a long way with Dispersion Colors so start small. If you want your resin to be darker, add one drop at a time until you reach your desired shade.
Fill your molds with your combined resin. Meg did her earrings in combinations of the glitter resin and the Dispersion Color one. You can fill yours any way you want to.
Let the molds sit for a minute or two to allow the resin to self level. Then place them under your UV Lamp for another minute or two until they are cured.
Next demold your earrings, this is our favorite step!
Finally, attach your earring hardware and these beauties are ready to wear!
