Learn how to make earrings with UV resin! Create stunning beach-themed jewelry using sand, shimmer, and shells in the easy DIY tutorial.
Have you ever wondered how to make earrings that look like they came straight from a boutique?
My granddaughter recently came to visit, and after seeing my pumpkin earrings, she decided she wanted to give UV resin a try.
Since she loves all things beach-themed, we created a pair of ocean-inspired earrings together. I gloved her up, handed her the supplies, and off she went!
The result? A gorgeous pair of handmade earrings with seashells, sand, and sparkle. She was so proud of how they turned out and even said they looked good enough to have come from a store…and I agree!
If you’ve been curious about how to make earrings using UV resin, this is a fun and easy project to try.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Earrings with UV Resin
Here, the simple process is broken down into 5 easy steps.
Step 1: Pour the First Layer
She started by choosing the tear-drop shaped mold. A thin layer of UV resin was squeezed out into the mold and spread evenly to the edges.
Once it was smooth, she cured it under the UV light until it hardened.
Step 2: Add Shimmer
Using a soft brush, she dabbed white and blue shimmery pigment powders onto the cured resin base. This created a pretty ocean-like background.
Step 3: Mix in Sand
Next, we mixed a little beach sand with some UV resin. She carefully scooped bits of the sandy mixture onto the earrings and cured them under the UV light.
This step added visual texture and gave the earrings some authentic beachy vibe.
Step 4: Stick on Beach Details
Once the sand layer cured, she added fun beach nail stickers (tiny shells, coral, starfish, and seaweed). The stickers are so cute and come in so many different styles.
To seal it all in, she topped the earrings with another layer of UV resin and cured it again.
Step 5: Add Findings
After everything was fully cured, she popped the earrings out of the mold. We attached jump rings and earring hooks, and just like that, her custom UV resin earrings were complete!
