#how to make a resin and rhinestone ring

[freakyslittleshop]

I’VE FINALLY DONE IT! Look how cute he turned out! 👻

After I made Koopa General I wanted to make another plush that would be a challenge in a different way, thus King Boo! At first his mouth would be glow in the dark, but the GID paint stained the white teeth too much, so I decided that I wasn’t gonna do that. So I went with glowing eyes instead!

What I really wanted was an eyecatcher, which became his massive diamond “ring pop” crown! I really wanted to give it that sinister yet powerful look he has in the game without making one of resin, so I chose rhinestones…over 6000 to be exact..🥲

King Boo came out a bit bigger and heavier than expected weighing in over 3KG and being approximately 70 x 60 x 70 cm wide and long!

Currently don’t have any personal massive plushies planned as I have no idea where to leave them😭 They are large and heavy so the places to store them are limited.

Oh yeah…I haven’t even played Luigi’s Mansion far enough to actually fight King Boo yet, how sad is that😭😂

I remembered to take pictures of my resin puzzle tray today 😊🧩. I also took a picture of my red one from last time and connected it with the one I made yesterday (and unmolded today) so we could see what they look like together 😄. Totally going to make at least 2 more and then we'll go from there.

And continuing from last post, I made less things this time so I wouldn't spread myself too thin, or end up with a bunch of micro-bubbles because I let my resin sit out too long working with it 😅

This was my station this morning ⤵️

So much less, right?

And after demolding it all ⤵️

So much simpler~ I had next to nothing to clean up around the edges, so no deburring or clipping required. I just have those little diamond marine pieces to do something with and the butterfly to add a magnet to 😊

The last set of diamond marine animals I made, I added jump rings to with some UV Resin and back-coated them with a layer of UV Resin as well to seal in the Jump Ring. I'll add a picture of those another time, probably when I finish off these ones as well. I'm still undecided if I want to turn them into pendants, or earrings, or charms, or keychains, or all of the above, lol.

Choosing the jump ring + the UV Resin as the attachment was the best choice, imo, because it's barely visible. Unlike drilling a hole and adding a jump ring/pinch bail or adhering a bail to the back in some fashion. You'd see any of those things through the transparent resin that I specifically chose for those diamond facets to gleam and sparkle.

That being said, I likely will be drilling a hole + adding a pinch bail at some point though 🙃. It's one of my favorite types of jewelry hardware. To use and I think it looks aesthetically pleasing. But that's a personal opinion and bias.

So, the puzzle pieces! Here's the red one from before and the new blue-teal one. ⤵️

I love yin yangs- and I have a thing for black & white themes. Even more than black & white themes, I love mixing 1 or 2 colors in with black & white. I think it looks clean, elegant, and makes that 1 or 2 colors pop and stand out.

With decor or art, I think this is especially true. I'm already planning to do my 4-piece puzzle set in (black & white +) red, blue, purple, and last color in either green or yellow (undecided). I added in the clear + a gold/silver flake because similar to the black & white (yin yang theme), I think that adds a bit of simple elegance (and I have stacks of the gold/silver/rose gold/copper foil papers that I've been dying to use more lol).

[Again, I know these are all personal opinions and biases 😅. Some people like hecka glitter, rhinestones, stencils + acrylics, stamping, blooms, shakers, candle holders + candles, polymer clay, stickers, etc. We all have our love-to-do, likes & dislikes.]

Here's the puzzle trays together and with my other resin pieces inside for size comparison ⤵️

They're a mid-size tray. Not too big, not too small.

I made another tray also. It's a moon + star one I found on a website similar to Temu (I know Temu is very popular). This website pre-dates Temu and I learned of it back when I was working as a Certified Beading Instructor (which was years ago, lol).

I'd link to the tray but unfortunately they don't have a built-in link shortener and I don't know if Google's link shortener would work long-term for this site? It's Aliexpress, if anyone wants to search for it themselves (says 4 left in stock as I'm writing this post, and it's called "Moon Star Tray Silicone Resin Mold").

I originally bought this tray thinking it'd be amazing for ResinCrete, and it will be! But I wanted to see what it'd look like in Epoxy first, so here it is! 😄🌙⭐

And I forget how much this took... I want to say around 300ml?

Originally I poured my left over resin in it, which was a little less than 160ml. I then added another 100ml which wasn't enough 😅. So, I mixed up another 100ml and that was way too much.

With that 100ml (that ended up being too much) I finished off the tray, added pigment to the left over resin and then poured the butterfly, the diamond octopus + the scallop shells 🙃 (it's possible I'm very wrong on this but I'm still going to go with 300ml for that tray).

Speaking of the butterfly ⤵️

It got a bunch of micro-bubbles 🫠. I think it's because I mixed in pigment and the mold has a very small opening so the bubbles couldn't rise and release the same way they could like in my diamond marine animal one (because those have no bubbles and it's the same resin/mixture/timing/everything).

But it's okay, it's a water ripple butterfly 🦋. Water = bubbles 🫧

Can costume jewelry get wet?

Costume jewelry has become an essential element of personal style for many fashion enthusiasts. With a plethora of designs and materials, costume jewelry offers an affordable way to express your individuality. However, one common question that arises among jewelry lovers is, “Can costume jewelry get wet?” Understanding the implications of water exposure is crucial for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your favourite pieces.

At Jewellery Hat, India’s fastest-growing fashion jewelry brand, we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. All our pieces are crafted from stainless steel, are anti-tarnish, and come with a lifetime replacement warranty on polishing. This blog post will address the question, "Can costume jewelry get wet?" and provide insights into how to care for your jewelry.

Understanding Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry, also known as fashion jewelry, is made from non-precious materials such as base metals, plastic, glass, and synthetic stones. Unlike fine jewelry, which is made from gold, silver, or platinum, costume jewelry is often more affordable and can be replaced more easily. However, the materials used can determine how well the jewelry withstands moisture.

The Big Question: Can Costume Jewelry Get Wet?

The answer to the question, “Can costume jewelry get wet?” is not straightforward. While some costume jewelry can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water can damage most pieces. Here’s a breakdown of various materials commonly found in costume jewelry and how they react to moisture:

1. Base Metals

Costume jewelry made from base metals like brass, copper, or nickel can react negatively to water. These metals can corrode or tarnish when exposed to moisture, resulting in discoloration and a dull appearance. If your costume jewelry is made from these materials, it’s best to avoid letting it get wet.

2. Plastic and Resin

Jewelry crafted from plastic or resin is generally more resistant to water compared to metal. However, prolonged exposure to moisture can still lead to warping or a loss of luster. If you’re wondering, “Can costume jewelry get wet?”, the answer is yes, but keep it to a minimum.

3. Glass and Acrylic

While glass and acrylic jewelry can tolerate some moisture, water can weaken the adhesive used to hold these pieces together. If you love wearing glass earrings or necklaces with glued components, it’s best to keep them dry to avoid damage.

4. Rhinestones and Other Embellishments

Many costume pieces feature rhinestones or other decorative embellishments that can be adversely affected by water. The adhesive that holds these embellishments in place may weaken when exposed to moisture. Therefore, if you own rhinestone jewelry, it’s crucial to keep it away from water.

5. High-Quality Costume Jewelry

At Jewellery Hat, we specialize in stainless steel jewelry that is designed to be anti-tarnish and resistant to water. Our pieces can withstand everyday wear, including light exposure to moisture. However, we still recommend avoiding prolonged contact with water to ensure your jewelry remains in pristine condition.

Why Water Exposure Can Be Detrimental

Now that we’ve addressed the question, “Can costume jewelry get wet?”, it’s essential to understand why water exposure can be harmful. Here are some reasons:

Corrosion

Many costume jewelry pieces are made from materials that can corrode when exposed to moisture. This corrosion can lead to discoloration and a loss of shine, making your jewelry look aged and worn out.

Tarnishing

Tarnishing occurs when metal reacts with moisture and oxygen in the air. This reaction can result in a dull or discolored surface that can be challenging to restore. Keeping your jewelry dry is crucial in preventing tarnish.

Weakening Adhesives

Many costume jewelry pieces are assembled using adhesives to attach stones, gems, and other embellishments. Water can weaken these adhesives, causing elements to fall off or become loose. This can ruin the overall aesthetic and integrity of the piece.

Warping

Some materials, especially plastics and resins, can warp when exposed to moisture. This warping can change the shape of your jewelry, making it uncomfortable to wear and less visually appealing.

Odor Development

Moisture can lead to the development of unpleasant odors in costume jewelry, especially if it remains damp for an extended period. Keeping your pieces dry helps prevent this issue.

How to Protect Your Costume Jewelry from Water Damage

To maintain the integrity of your costume jewelry and prevent damage from water exposure, consider the following tips:

Remove Before Water Activities

Before swimming, showering, or exercising, always remove your costume jewelry. This simple step can save your pieces from moisture-related damage.

Store Properly

Store your costume jewelry in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it in humid areas like bathrooms. Instead, use a jewelry box with proper ventilation or individual pouches to protect your pieces from moisture.

Clean After Wear

After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove any sweat, oils, or moisture that may have accumulated. This practice can help keep your pieces looking fresh.

Use a Jewelry Protectant

Some products are designed to create a protective barrier on costume jewelry. Consider using a jewelry protectant spray to add an extra layer of defense against moisture and tarnishing.

Invest in Quality

When purchasing costume jewelry, consider investing in high-quality pieces. At Jewellery Hat, our stainless steel jewelry is designed to withstand daily wear and tear while remaining anti-tarnish. With our lifetime replacement warranty on polishing, you can be confident in the quality and longevity of your jewelry.

What to Do If Your Costume Jewelry Gets Wet

If your costume jewelry does accidentally get wet, here’s what to do:

Dry Immediately

As soon as you realize your jewelry has come into contact with water, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. The quicker you dry it, the less likely it is to incur damage.

Disassemble When Possible

If your jewelry piece allows it, disassemble it to dry individual components thoroughly. This can help prevent moisture from becoming trapped and causing damage.

Use a Hairdryer on Low Heat

If your jewelry is particularly wet, you can use a hairdryer on the lowest heat setting to gently dry the piece. Hold the dryer a safe distance away to avoid damaging delicate components.

Monitor for Changes

After drying your jewelry, monitor it for any signs of damage, such as discoloration or loose stones. If you notice any issues, consider consulting a professional jeweler for advice on repairs.

The Benefits of Choosing High-Quality Costume Jewelry

When it comes to costume jewelry, quality matters. Choosing pieces made from high-quality materials can provide numerous benefits:

Durability

High-quality costume jewelry, like that offered by Jewellery Hat, is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. Our stainless steel pieces are resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, making them a practical choice for those who love to accessorize.

Longevity

Investing in quality means your jewelry is likely to last longer. At Jewellery Hat, our commitment to quality ensures that you can enjoy your jewelry for years to come without worrying about damage from moisture or wear.

Aesthetics

High-quality costume jewelry often looks more appealing and can mimic the appearance of fine jewelry. You can enjoy the beauty of your accessories without the hefty price tag.

Peace of Mind

With a lifetime replacement warranty on polishing, you can wear your Jewellery Hat pieces with confidence, knowing that you have a safety net in place should any issues arise.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you’ve ever wondered, “Can costume jewelry get wet?”, the answer is nuanced. While some costume jewelry can withstand light moisture, it’s best to avoid exposing your pieces to water whenever possible. By understanding the materials used in your jewelry and following proper care guidelines, you can maintain the beauty and integrity of your accessories.

Greasy Creeps Monster's Booty, volume something.

It's another 20 spins, kiddies!

Let's open with the wonderful world of nature. I've gotten things backwards with these in the past, but the actual Imperial Bug-a-Boo is the rubber beetle on the right, and the tougher, sealed specimens are Hong Kong knockoffs. It's almost more charming that way; I like fun bootlegs, especially when they get crazy and make accurately colored giraffe weevils, of all things. They're both bound for the Cool Nature Toys shelf.

Trust me, there was no better angle. Of course it's mostly bugs. Anyhoo, the panda is a private stock pull, and definitely older than it looks. The bloody skeleton sticker is here for a splash of background color.

The wee folk take up the bulk of these, but we've seen a lot of it before: Pocket Skeletons and Goblins, an Astro-Nit, another delightful old clown, and a couple M.U.S.C.L.E. bootlegs, known for their inclusion of molds that never made it to the official line. I believe Brocken Jr here is one of them, on account of his fashion sense.

Pumby and Gokey are always a treat, but the star here is clearly that Hong Kong fantasy warrior. Man, these things are great.

All right, spookiness! Well, maybe not the Yin Yang sticker. But certainly the eye-planet, probably the eye in a hat. And a rhinestone-eyed greenish skeleton with one short leg lurching down the street in an evil championship belt is the worst of all! Pocket Clip Skeleton is just carrying his. They're rubber rings, really, but big enough to stay on any toy under, say, 5" average.

The resin Skeletor head is apparently the work of Etc Toys, which I guess I hadn't put to memory. Pretty sweet sticker, though.

And we finish on contemporary goodies today. Classics aplenty, mostly. The Blood Capsules are the caplet kind, which use a dry mix that mixes with saliva. How it compares to the liquid-filled ones, I can't say. Fake body parts are always welcome here, though. The Whoopee Cushion is, strangely, vinyl rather than rubber, and sounds less satisfying than you'd hope. But as a prop for display, it's not too bad. The skeleton is a modern jiggler, and satisfyingly squishy.

[resinatingbeauty]

I’ve had a lot of requests from various people at different times who are just learning how to use resin to create with and wanted some tips and tricks. I have wanted to make this post for a while, but I wanted to acquire more experience myself before giving others help. This first post is just going to go over some really basic tips and tricks and subsequent posts (if they’re found helpful) will elaborate. This is for all of you who are like me and get the least amount of benefit from watching Youtube tutorials these days because EVERYONE has one, and half the time they’re drawn out for ad revenue so an hour long video will only contain 20 mins worth of information with the kicker being you can’t even fast forward through what you know or rewind through ads to get back to where you need to be. So, for those of you who hate that like me, this text post is for you.

If you’re just starting, choosing which resin you want to purchase is intimidating. Craft stores like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby rarely offer more than one or two brands, typically over priced due to the fact that they’re labeled “art resins”.

Epoxy resin is by far the easiest to start with for beginners. It is the most forgiving, has the most consistent results, most brands use the same 1:1 ratio and the overall technique is the same. I am not affiliated with these brands/companies in any way other than I have used their products and have written reviews for several on Amazon.

Start with small packages (4oz-8oz kits / 8oz & 16oz hardener + resin). A quick Amazon search for epoxy resin will give you many results. This is one of those cases where you really don’t get what you pay for- boat, tabletop, etc. epoxy will yield the same results at more reasonable prices per fluid ounce than art resins. I recommend going with brands like FanAut, Puduo, Let’s Resin, Craft Daddy, etc. which often offer kits with gloves, craft sticks / stir sticks, measuring cups, and even additives at reasonable prices. All these items are things you’ll need to start off, so any extras are appreciated. I recommend Puduo, as it is relatively inexpensive compared to similar brands, yields consistent , crystal clear results, and has a somewhat faster curing time than other epoxy resins for the price. If none of these brands ring your bell, here are the qualifiers for a “good” epoxy resin:

Self Degassing- This is pretty much the standard expectation of epoxy resin and one of the reasons it is considered forgiving for beginners. When resin and hardener are combined, gases are trapped and form air bubbles which have a tendency to multiply as you stir your mixture and the combination heats up. But it shouldn’t be taken for granted that all epoxy resin does this, so try to look for “self degassing” in the item description / label.

Self Leveling vs. Doming : Doming resin is great for the magnified look on pendants and other flat projects, but self leveling resin is where you should be starting as doming requires the build up of surface tension to achieve. While “doming “ resin may achieve this easier than others without this feature, it is pretty irrelevant if you don’t know to dome resin in the first place.

Art Resin vs Other Epoxy: Art resins make claims of being ideal or a better choice for arts & crafts, but the reality is that you can achieve the same effects from table top or boat resins such as Mas- are just as capable of casting, coating, doming etc. as art resins especially if you’re looking to take on a larger project you will pay less and get more with these brands than smaller quantities of art resins. Make sure they are crystal clear, hard type, self degassing, and self leveling. Keep in mind that cure time relates to the size of your project and the ambient temperature of the environment, so don’t waste money on products that charge more for touting faster curing time.

What about 2 part epoxy in syringes? (Ice Resin, Gorilla Glue) Personally, these pre prepared epoxy resins are more complicated than they look. You can’t save combined resin and hardener, so once you mix the two or pop the seals to both you have to use the lot of it in one shot. Ice Resin in particular is quite expensive and doesn’t offer the clear, glossy results I expected it to when I used it, so I would avoid these if you are just starting out.

Additives & Extras- Don’t waste a lot of money at the start funding your would be creations until you have at least seen one entire project through from start to finish. I made the mistake of investing in silicone molds, glitters, additives like rhinestones, craft papers, transparency films etc before I really found my niche and what I was really using epoxy for the most. There are some great deals for 100+ piece silicone mold kits that include gloves, stir sticks, silicone measuring cups, and the like available cheaply for those looking to make smaller things like jewelry, keychains, figurines etc. the one I have just linked to even includes the epoxy for under $20. These kits are offered by Amazon and even Etsy and are a great place to start as they provide you with everything you would need to create at least one full project. They are also a great activity to do with your kids (ages 10+ would probably be ideal) as you can add pretty much anything that isn’t silicone, wax, unsealed paper, alcohol, or water based into resin, which opens up a world of possibilities!

Tips & Tricks That Will Save You $

If you’re itching for purchasing pigments to add color to your resin projects, try purchasing or reusing some old or cheap mineral eye shadows. Not sure if your eye shadow is mineral based? I’m willing to bet it is, though some colors may not look the same when mixed in resin as they do on the pallets, they will color it nonetheless, just pick a small amount up on a popsicle stick or toothpick and stir it into a small batch of resin to see how it turns out. Dollar Tree eye shadows will work just as well as expensive pigments, so consider this before investing in expensive mica pigment sets!

While silicone molds are probably the easiest and are reusable, you can also use plastic molds, carve your resin block with carpentry tools or by hand-or even make your own molds! There are simple recipes utilizing dish soap and corn starch out there, or you can use silicone or even hot glue! Flexible silicone molds won’t require a mold release, but plastic and other molds will or you may end up cutting your project out. You don’t have to purchase a mold release product for this, either- olive or vegetable oil spray on a paper towel will suffice, just remember to let your mold sit for a few hours to demoisturize.

Can’t find gloves because of COVID19 hype? Finger cots are even better than gloves as they allow for more dexterity even when they get sticky, are cheaper, and readily available in bulk online!

Pretty much anything compatible with homemade “slime” can be mixed into or embedded in resin, so there is that. However, be careful how much glitter, pigment, etc you add as you can throw off the chemical balance that allows your project to cure properly. Refer to the directions included with your specific resin kit as most will tell you what ratios must be maintained for proper curing.

Everyone that works with resin knows the arch nemesis that is the bubbles. There are times where it seems like, no matter what you do, your perfect clear cast of a dandelion goes to shit because of some stray air bubbles. There are a few tricks to avoid this from the start:

Use a separate cup to measure resin and hardener. Pour the combined mixture into a fourth cup after the first 3-4 mins of stirring (half time) scraping the sides and bottom. This helps what was on the bottom get integrated into what was mixed on top. Always make sure to pour resin first when mixing and mix slowly, scraping the sides and bottom, for the time listed on your instructions. You want your mixture to be almost water consistency, clear, fluid, with little viscosity, and no streaks visible. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to natural degas and get rid of the bubbles.

Use a torch or grill lighter to pop surface bubbles. You can also do each one individually (as the grill lighter suggestion may not always be a good idea- be careful using this on large projects and molds that may ignite) with a tooth pick. Using a blow dryer or heat gun will also help bubbles rise to the surface to be popped.

Make sure that you keep contact with the bottom of your mixing cup with your stir stick-try not to lift it too much as this can introduce air into the mixture (“whipping the resin”) this can also occur if you are stirring too quickly. If you notice a lot of bubbles, let your mixture sit for a few minutes and resume stirring at a slower pace.

Make sure you start your project at a temperature of 74 degrees +, if your bottles are cold to touch, place them in a plastic bag and let them sit in hot water to warm up. You can also roll them (slowly) on a counter top.

You know, if all else fails you could always make ocean or nautical themed projects :)

That’s all for now- let me know if this helped you or someone you know working with resin or experimenting. Feel free to comment with any questions you would like answered in my next post! I also recommend the Resin Obssesion blog- they have a lot of useful information and tutorials with photos that were really helpful for me starting out!

here it is!! ALMOST complete because I might redo the brooch entirely-- this one is from like.... 6? years ago, the first time I did this cosplay (shittily) and it's made of like, model magic and craft foam and its stupidly massive and part of me wants to dick around with resin to make it but another part of me is like.... Matthew... chill please... also I'm going to add more buttons bc the jacket I bought had six and now there's 2 little holes where the old ones were that are driving me crazy... I'm going back to the fabric store I got these original buttons from and I'm gonna pray they still stock these ones from, like I said, six years ago lmao, bc they're great- u cant really see but they have like a little ring of pink rhinestones around them and I love it lmao. I also have to fix my dumb sunglasses bc they broke 1 second after awa lol

pros of this cosplay: super comfortable actually?? which surprises me because it looks like it would be very restrictive. I posted about how astounded I was that leggings are actually comfortable before but I am still amazed by this, so,

cons of this cosplay: where does he put stuff? his cellphone? his wallet?? his keys?? there are pockets on the jacket but like still. idk what I'm gonna do lmao

anyway... I'm gonna wear this at youmacon, sadly my friend who wants to cosplay Billy wont be able to make it this year but theres always next time!!!
