How To Make A Bracelet Using Plaster And Resin

February 2, 2016

The other day I shared how to make appliques using candy molds.

Well, today I’m going to show you how to make a bracelet using plaster and resin.

Before I share the project, I was hoping to give you more information on the upcoming video workshop series, that’s the exciting news I was going to share yesterday.

Inside The Painters Studio

Lots and lots going on behind the scenes.

As soon as I get more information, which should be soon, I’ll share it with you all.

Today I wanted to talk a little  more about the project I shared the other day.

As you remember, I shared how to make appliques using candy molds and plaster of Paris.

Not my idea, just something I stumbled onto while on Pinterest.

But, when I saw that idea to use these appliques another idea came to mind.

Jewelry.

Yeah, I know you’re thinking how can you turn appliques into jewelry?

Well, today I’m going to share how I created a bracelet using these appliques.

Supplies needed:

  • Plaster of Paris (Hardware store)
  • Silicone candy mold (Micheal’s Craft Store)
  • Leather or lace cuff (Hobby Lobby)
  • E-6000 clear glue
  • EnviroTex Jewelry Resin (Hobby Lobby)

And here’s how.

I mixed up plaster of Paris, and added it to my silicone mold.

Once these were completely dry, I was able to easily pop these out.

You don’t need to make this many.

I made all of these the other day when I was trying to decide what to do for my piece of furniture.

Next, I mixed up a batch of Jewelry Resin ( it’s an epoxy like finish, follow the directions on the package to the T)

This resin is going to make this rose more durable than if I had done nothing at all.

I used an old paint brush and brushed on a coat of resin to the rose, but not to the bottom

I only added one coat, but I may experiment with another one to see if adding two coats is better.

I placed these on a sheet of wax paper to dry overnight.

As they were drying, I had to move them around with a wood popsicle stick  as the resin was drying.

I did this because they were starting to form clear puddles around the roses.

I wasn’t sure how hard this was going to be, and if I would be able to trim it off once it was dry.

These sat overnight to dry, then I applied E-6000 glue to the back of my  rose applique, and applied it to my leather cuff.

I did the same with the leather cuff.

You can see the video HERE for a live tutorial.

Here’s a closeup of the lace cuff.

In the video I shared that because of the curve, the flower is not sitting on this cuff.

I think a great solution is to add a little trim.

Once I add some blingy trim, I’ll share it with you all.

And this is how I get inspired.

I see an idea, and then that idea turns into something totally different and of my own.

And you can see from the video that I was totally just figuring this out as I went along and I always do that.

Sometimes my ideas totally work and sometimes they are a total bust.

As I’m sharing my videos, I’ll share the good and the bad.

Not every idea that I have is a good idea, but that’s okay.

I think that this would make a wonderful gift for Valentines day or Mother’s day!

What do you think?

easy to make jewelry

I have lots to work on in my videos, but each time I do them it will get easier and I will learn a lot!

Lighting is an issue for sure and editing.

    I love your admission of imperfection. Living up to an expectation of perfection in all my attempts with decorating has held me back from walking into my own “style” for a very long time. A few years ago I just went for it and was so surprised to hear the various responses from those around me. They loved my style with flowers or refinishing a “bad” piece of furniture from a flea market or rummage sale or the way I decorated a venue for special events. And if something doesn’t turn out great I no longer fret! It’s been a great learning experience and I love my “style”! Thanks for sharing truthfully and being such an inspiration!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
