Resin Jewellery

Resin is a unique material for creating jewellery as it’s strong, waterproof and can be made either translucent or opaque. We used Liquid Gloss resin as it ensures a hardy finish.

Note: Resin is suitable for students in Year 9 and above.

Press the wire outline onto a piece of packaging tape, ensure it is as flat as possible so no resin can seep underneath the wire.
