How To Make Donut Ring Jewelry Video

Here is the video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made them!

Directions on How To Make Donut Ring Jewelry!

Step 1:

Mix one ounce of resin, according to the package directions.

Step 2: Add a little dye

Mix in a little bit of brown, white, and yellow pigment dye. You want your donut necklace to have a realistic color.

Step 3: Pour it!

Pour the resin into the mold.  Try to fill them to equal levels – not all the way full.  You should get roughly 10 donut halves out of one ounce.

Step 4: No More Bubbles in the Donut Ring Jewelry

Pop bubbles with a lighter and allow to cure for at least 12 hours.

Step 5: Remove it!  

Remove the donut halves from the mold, so you can start to put together the donut necklaces.

Step 6: Glue it!  

Glue the halves together, wipe any that might ooze out, and allow to dry.

Step 7: Frosting the Donut Ring Jewelry

Use the glue to create a frosting on the donuts. 

Step 8: Every Donut Needs Sprinkles!

Add bugle beads as sprinkles.  Gently press them into the glue.

Step 9: A Little Glitter!

Sprinkle glitter onto the glue and allow it to dry.

Step 10: Alternative Frosting Idea

As an alternative, mix pigment powder into some glue and spread it on the donut like frosting.  Press in bugle beads.

Step 11: Drill the Donut Ring Jewelry

When dry, drill a small hole into the donuts.

Step 12: Eyepin Time

Trim down and add an eye pin with glue.

Step 13: Jump Ring Time

Add a jump ring.

When you add a cord, you have a super cute donut necklace!
