These earrings come to life with simple steps. The wooden base is colored black to create the coffin effect, while pressed flowers add color and detail. A touch of purple mica powder creates a fun “flame effect” with resin, giving the earrings a shiny, polished look. Once finished, they are light and durable, meaning you can wear them to events, as statement pieces, or even gift them to friends. Adding hardware like silver loops completes their elegant design, giving them a perfect mix of spooky and classy styles.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Wooden Bezels

Use a Sharpie to color the coffin bezels black. Other colors can be used if preferred.

Step 2: Secure Bezels

Place resin tape onto a surface, and add wooden blocks (or popsicle sticks) to hold the bezels in place.
Push the bezels firmly onto the tape to ensure stability during the crafting process.

Step 3: Mix Resin with Mica Powder

Add a tiny amount of purple mica powder to UV resin in a silicone mixing cup.
Avoid adding too much powder to keep the resin clear while creating the flame effect.

Step 4: Apply the First Layer of Resin

Pour a thin layer of resin into the coffin bezel to cover the bottom.
Use a heat gun to remove bubbles from the resin.

Step 5: Prepare and Place Flowers

Trim the pressed flowers to your desired size.
Place flowers carefully into the first resin layer.
Consider letting flowers sit in resin briefly beforehand to reduce trapped bubbles.

Step 6: Add Second Layer and Flame Effect

Mix a small amount of mica powder into resin to create the flame effect.
Pour a thin resin layer over the flowers, adding the flame effect with dots and swirls.
Use tools to swirl and pull mica-resin streaks outward for a smoky appearance.
