Rainbow Resin Glitter Rings

I thought I would try and make a few different size rainbow rings for my Etsy shop and future craft fairs.

Iv'e had tubes of glitter sitting on my craft shelf for ages so today seems a good time to use it!

First I sorted out which molds would suit these rings, I went for a curved ring mold shape.

I picked the coloured glitters I wanted in the rings and mixed up the resin. I poured the resin in first, then put in the glitter.

Putting the glitter into the molds and swirling it around was a bit tricky because the molds are quite small and you end up getting glitter all around the edge,but I got there in the end!

I let the resin cure in the molds for 2 days then take them out. 

All my resin work goes through a process of 9 different grades of sand paper before a final polish.

This takes quite a few hours of elbow grease, but it's worth it for the end results.

 

Really pleased with how these turned out, I may try a bracelet to go with it next.
