Important Notes

• Sand the backs of the wooden bezels beforehand to ensure both sides look polished if flipped.
• When swirling resin colors, avoid overmixing to preserve the vibrancy of each color.
• Overheating resin with a heat gun may lead to visible lines or imperfections. Apply heat moderately.
• Clear topcoat resin adds weight to the earrings, so be mindful if you prefer lightweight jewelry.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Project Setup

1. Prepare the Bezels:
   • Take the sanded wooden heart bezels and place them firmly on resin tape to prevent movement while working.
2. Gather Materials:
   • Arrange all resin colors (purple, blue, and clear), as well as other tools and stickers for accessibility.
   • Ensure proper lighting and ventilation.

Part 2: Layering the Resin

1. Pour and Create Swirls:
   • Begin by pouring purple resin into the bezels.
   • Add a layer of clear resin over the purple.
   • Finally, add two shades of blue resin on top.
   • Use a stick to slightly swirl and mix the resin layers. Aim for a design where the colors are distinct but interconnected.
2. Adjust Design:
   • Mimic the same swirls and patterns for both earrings so they look cohesive as a pair.

Part 3: Curing the Layer

1. Smooth the Design:
   • Use a heat gun to remove bubbles from the resin. Be cautious not to overheat, as this could cause visible imperfections in the clear areas.
2. UV Light Curing:
   • Cure the resin using UV light. Ensure each bezel is evenly exposed for proper curing.

Part 4: Adding Nail Art Stickers

1. Attach the Stickers:
   • Select butterfly nail art stickers (e.g., green and pink accents).
   • Position them carefully on the cured resin layer to complement the clear and vibrant areas.
   • Smooth out any folds or wrinkles using a small tool or your fingers.

Part 5: Final Clear Topcoat

1. Apply Top Layer of Resin:
   • Pour a thin layer of clear resin over the stickers to secure them and give the earrings a glossy finish.
   • Once applied, use a heat gun to remove any bubbles.
2. Cure the Topcoat:
   • Let the resin set under UV light. Avoid excessive heat during this step to prevent visible lines in the resin.

Part 6: Finishing Touches

1. Remove Bezels from Tape:
   • Detach the completed bezels from the resin tape and clean up any sticky residue.
2. Add Earring Hooks:
   • Attach hooks to the bezels to turn them into wearable earrings.
3. Inspect Final Design:
   • Ensure both earrings have consistent, polished patterns. The vibrant purple, blue, and clear sections should be complemented by the butterfly stickers.
4. Packaging:
   • Add earrings to a card to display them professionally.
