Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Bezel for the Gnome Pendant
My bezel had a hole in it, so to prevent the resin from leaking out, I covered the back with a piece of packing tape.
Step 2: Mix and Pour Resin
I mixed a small amount of resin and added two different blue pigment powders. Then, I poured the mixture into the bezel.
I used a lighter to pop any bubbles in the resin and allowed it to cure for at least 12 hours. Once it was cured, I removed the tape from the back.
Step 3: Prepare and Attach the Buttons
Next, I cut off the back loop of the buttons that is used for sewing and added a little crazy glue to ensure they stayed intact.
I used a bit of crazy glue to tack the gnome buttons to the cured resin. This kept them from moving when I poured the final layer of resin.
Step 4: Pour the Final Resin Layer
I mixed a little more resin and slowly poured it over the gnomes. I was careful to ensure it covered everything without overflowing. I popped any bubbles and let it cure.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Once the resin was cured, I added a jump ring to the bezel and attached it to a necklace chain or keychain.
Here is my finished gnome pendant!
