Hi This is Becky Nunn, a guest designer
for Beadaholique.com and in this
episode I'm gonna be talking about how to make a ring
using resin that we have colorized
with opaque pigments into
a ring shank. What you'll need for this video
you need to have a ring shank
On this particular ring we're gonna be adding a couple little
embellishments
onto the top. You'll also need
two mixing cups, you need to have watched
How to Add Opaque Pigments
to 2-Part Resin. You also need
E6000 glue, a couple of stir sticks that I just cut in half and a toothpick
for creating a flat surface
that is completely level I used
my mixing cup and my two little stir sticks
to create a flat place where my
ring shank could sit. With my
resin that I've already put opaque pigment in
I just go ahead and drizzle that into my bezel
depending on how long you let your resin sit
it starts getting thicker and thicker. My resin has been sitting a little bit
but you can still see that it's good for
filling up my ring shank
since I'll be doing a couple of pieces
onto the top of this I want it to be nice and flat and level
so I'm making sure that I don't
over pour my piece. As it dries you'll want to be
continuing to come back and take a look at it
to make sure that you don't have any air bubbles
but even those air bubbles that you saw form, they just rise to the surface
and they pop. If they aren't popping
you'll want to use your or your toothpick
to get them out. Once you've poured your resin in, you're going to want to put a
little
top over your ring to prevent any kind of dust
from getting into the piece. After 24 hours
your ring should be set
and it'll be hard and dry to the touch
I put a little bit of the E6000 glue onto my sheet
and using a toothpick, I'm just applying a small amount
onto the back of my embellishment. Depending on how stable your finger is
you might want to use a pair of
tweezers. I'm just gonna go for it
see how we do. I'm going to apply
my crown onto the surface
of ring and now I'm gonna
apply the star. I like doing it this way because I can control exactly how much glue
I'm putting in there so I don't have a lot of access
squeezing out of the sides
and if I do I can pick it up my
toothpick.
How cool is that. So once my E6000
is glued on I'll have a great
ring to wear. This is Becky Nunn with Nunn Design
