Equipment

2 Wooden or plastic stick to mix epoxy can also use end of small paintbrush
1 small needle nose pliers
2 Disposable eye dropper or pipette optional
2 Small cup to mix ingredients small disposable drinking cup is great
Daisy earring mold

Ingredients

1 Epoxy resin kit with plastic gloves (most kits come with gloves)
1 Acrylic paint in the color of your choice any color
1 Small glitter any color
2 Jump rings (I used 6mm size)
2 Earring stud post and backs
1 Super glue (I love this kind since it’s easy to control)
Paper towel to catch drips

Instructions

First you’ll want to mix up a small amount of resin so you can create the yellow part of your flowers (although you can use whatever color you want for yours). Pour about 3 teaspoons of part A into your cup (just eyeball it) and then another 3 teaspoons of part B into your cup. The kits suggest you wear gloves when pouring resin, but I’m pretty good at cleanly pouring small amounts so I didn’t.
Take your acrylic paint and add in small amounts and mix together until you get a color you like.
A small flexible cup allows you to pinch the top edge of the cup to create a spout for the resin to be poured out of (wipe the drips off the cup with a paper towel after each pour though) or you can use a disposable pipette which is great for getting resin into small molds without overflowing the mold.
I poured the yellow resin carefully into the small flowers and then into the lowest part of the big flower and let them set overnight (or check your resin to see how long it takes to dry).
Next I repeated the process of pouring 3 teaspoons each of part A and B into a cup and added loose glitter and mixed it all together. Less glitter will make it more clear and more will give it more of an opaque look.
Allow your mold to fully dry before popping out your pieces.
Once your pieces are dry, connect the two shapes with a jump ring using small pliers to open and close the jump ring (the mold should have tiny pillar it each shape that creates a hole so you can connect them later).
Once the pieces are connected, attach your earring stud post to the back of the small flower with some super glue and allow the glue to fully set before wearing. Once it’s dry, it’s time to display your new earrings!
