Resin Jewelry: An Easy Way To Make More Money!

Handmade jewelry is often beautiful and sells really well. However, if you want to add value to your resin jewelry then you need to stand out from the crowd and make sure that you are making something different. You will find that once you have made something that is unique to you that no other resin jewelry maker is selling then your sales will soar. This is one of the ideas that I use often and I find that because they are different they really stand out and sell out as soon as I have them in stock.

You made an interesting comment about doing things that others aren't doing - I don't like to do what everyone else is doing - I think outside the box and go from there - it is too easy to get caught up in what others are doing but it saturates the market - trusting in our creative process is best - we come up with unique ideas and I love that process

[@DovahHouse]

I’m always looking for something different too!

[@isabellrc]

I get so caught up in doing this or that in exact same ways; too stressful. I’m struggling with UV resin projects. Intricate small molds, and did I pick the proper UV Resin?

[@Don-rg2yl]

I am beginning to think there is nothing Steve can’t make better with resin lol.

They’re all sooo cute. Wonderful ideas Steve.

I absolutely love it how you just take something simple and makes it stunning. Ronnie

[@debfothergill9868]

Hi Steve I use a foam mat that's meant for doing icing flowers it helps the tape adhere tighter and where the hoops are proud from the bezal I have sliced small nicks in foam to keep them still. Love all your hints and tips has upped my sales and given me many fab ideas for next years fairs. Had to miss the Christmas fairs this years due to son having cancer diagnosis. Next year going to do fairs to raise funds for the cancer centre so looking forward to getting some new products and refine my resin crafts. Have a good Christmas and happy 2023 xxx

[@dollybrown1993]

Those are definitely stunning to me 💓💓😍😍. I'm glad you did this video because I'm going to try to make a few bezel charms up to take to a show that's coming up in February. I know I will be watching this one again and again just before I start to do them. EVERY TIME I have tried in the past I had such a failure that I wouldn't even show any of them AT ALL!!!

[@itaomahony502]

Have a very happy 2023 Steve, I’ve been watching your tutorials for a while now and am so appreciative of all your tips. I have all the supplies but haven’t started to create just yet. I’ve been working with polymer and air dry clay for a few years and wanting to try resin crafting but I’m a bit intimidated by the process. New Year resolution. Feel the fear but do it anyway 😅

[@barbarameriton4818]

Thanks so much Steve. It’s 8am in Australia & you have magically made what I was going to attempt today. The last time I tried I ruined everything getting gloves stuck to sticky & it all ending in tears & a mess. So glad you have given me a bit of guidance on the open back bezels & some great ideas. They are all gorgeous.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

@Barbara Meriton Oh, Barbara! ❤🤗❤ virtual hug! I totally get that scenario! My first attempt was a disaster and it was all I could do to keep from bursting into frustrated tears! I had resin *everywhere!* In my hair, on my clothes, ruined my tablecloth, the resin leaked out of the bezels (none left IN the bezels!)... ink all over everything. 😤😱 Think wailing and gnashing of teeth. 😅 I do hope all of your next attempts are crowned with happy success! ❤👍😊

[@barbarameriton4818]

@@fairyspunfibers9098 Thank you so much. 😂🤣🥰You’ve given me such a laugh. I’d only just started using any resin & was attempting double sided photo bezels. Way too advanced but I saw a video so was instantly an expert 🤪. I kept moving them to the lamp & spilling them & gloves stuck to tape, photos bleeding. I’ve got loads of bezels & UV resin I’ve not touched since. I had decided to try today & was stunned Steve did this subject. I’m a lot more realistic this time & did learn LOADS from my mistakes. Fingers crossed 🤞. Have a great day! 😘

[@barbseed4434]

I tried bezels and UV resin a couple of years ago after watching one video, cuz it looked so simple. Ha ! I had a the experience you describe. Thanks to wonderful videos from Steve I am ready to try again!! Best wishes on your next go!

[@barbarameriton4818]

@@barbseed4434 Thanks Barb. I definitely understand resin a lot better now thanks to Steve. So easy to watch a video & think it’s easy. Perhaps not the best hobby for messy, disorganised perfectionists with hand tremors but I’m learning to fail with a laugh. And the successes have made it worthwhile. 😘

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I really like the heart shaped one of those necklaces you made Steve, and that adorable teddy! You always make such beautiful things. God bless you and all those you love, and have a very Merry Christmas!

Hi Steve. I know it's 1yr too late, but the Bear pendant you made, you could add different coloured birth stones in its belly for ppls birthdays, and I think it would sell really well. I love watching your videos as they inspire me. x

[@lesliespiers8407]

Steve I tried an experiment- I used the diamond studs from Diamond art @ resin, doing a mandala & they turned out great-you gotta try it!!!!!!

[@000snow000]

Is it worth buying damming tape vs just using regular, cheap packing tape?

[@karenharrington6271]

Thanks!

[@caitlinearp8954]

Thanks so much for the video, your voice is very nice too. You'd make a good story teller 🤣

[@karte2626]

Cool!

[@Nirrrina]

I had a bit of a problem lately with my Jdiction UV resin staying just a bit sticky even after curing a long time. I thought at first maybe it had been opened for too long but I've only had 2-3 months. Well I finally figured it out & didn't have to consider returning it thankfully. Turns out I just needed to change the batteries in my UV light & it worked perfectly again. So don't forget battery changes on UV lights. I'm actually thinking I'll try to get one that can be plugged in instead. I only really work in one little area. Plus I have my current portable big flashlight type too.

[@2ndChanceCrafting]

Thank you for this! I have all my supplies but am intimated by the whole process. I guess I have to make the mistakes to learn and I will just expect that. I hope to only use UV resin as I am not sure how to ventilate my room, I have window fan but in the winter it would be so cold! I love your video's!

[@tsmeman63]

WOW!

[@msmaxwell]

Oh My Gosh ! You're hilarious. I just started creating my resin jewelry and looking for ideas. Thanks for this Great video and awesome accent ~! I'm from the South in America so, I would have a Huge accent to you, as well.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas Janel.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Steve, these are GREAT! ❤👍❤ These should sell really well. I really like the teddy bear ('dorbs!), the leaf, the pearly one, and the moon/star in the heart! I have used all sorts of UV resins, and the *only* one to cure up completely (& fast!) is the JDiction. If you want super high quality, definitely give it a try!

[@shortricanmama]

These came out so pretty. I just need to know which respirator mask is best for epoxy resin. Your videos are just so wonderful. I have to start on my projects.

[@tracyyoung3554]

I absolutely love these jewelry pieces! I love watching you make jewelry! I purchased your kit and love it too! The only thing is the hand drill, I have a lot of trouble with it and others like it. I am really excited to start creating. Thank you for your videos, they have been very helpful to me!!

[@cynthiacoleman8073]

i like the jewelry pieces but i didnt see them on your list, can you tell me where to get them.

[@specialk8927]

I love the e heart with the moon in it! I have problems with my uv resin feeling alittle sticky after curing

[@ritab8801]

I’m having the same problem with us resin not curing. Steve, any suggestions? Thanks!

[@kamillagirl]

Great video! I would like to point out that if the nail varnish you're using isn't a gel, then it's technically not the UV lamp that makes it dry. Only air drying will do that

[@richardmabe4186]

Nice spontaneous, fun jewellery many people will like. What sort of price mark will these go for in your experience?

[@mamapillow8365]

Thanks for showing this, love the rocket ship. Can you put gem stones in this way as well? I'm thinking of stones like amazonite or carnelian for example.

[@amycoomer9486]

Hi Steve, how do you tell when they are cured? Does the shine on the resin change? Sorry for the newbie question.😅

[@williambell3876]

Where do ou get our bezels and bits and pieces from please . Love your creations . Bill

[@rhondagover9237]

They look great. my question is what is your price point on these? I never know if I'm pricing correctly. and if you make them into earrings what would you price them?

[@WitchKing813]

Now if I'd done the red glitter one when I pulled it off the tape it would leak out, how do you get the resin to cure under the light if the colour is so dark, it's a problem I seem to encounter a lot, or was it fine because you turned the light upside down as well to do the underneath x

[@laurenseverts-craver5145]

Do you have to use damming tape or can anything else be used?

[@marisahernandez8606]

Hi Steve, can you regular epoxi resin?

[@crystalbrandoncira]

Is uv resin the same as epoxy resin and other resin to or no I'm new at these

[@angiecleary9003]

im a total beginner. just bought my first kit to try uv resin crafts, and the resin was sollid in tub, absolutely gutted. was jdiction uv resin is there a way to soften it again or is it gone for good..

[@treeforge]

Very curious, what would you market and sell them for?

[@karendarling7246]

How do you get the sticky from the tape off the back

[@ailaarzani1243]

Is that blue paste a speciak brand?

[@maiger712]

Hi, I love you videos very informative and I do love it when people keep their mistakes in the videos too, it shows we are all just human. My only question is how much do you sell them ? That’s the only thing I’m stuck on when it comes to resin jewelry. Not knowing how much to charge

[@KristenK78]

I’ve been wondering the same! I found some similar items on Etsy, but none are quite like what I want to test the waters with, and prices there run the gamut.

[@kristinacoulthread6600]

Great video however i had some of this tape and it did indeed stick to the pieces and didnt comenoff with a baby wipe i had to scratch it off carefully as to not damage the piece. Maybe i had a cheap Chinese version bit tonwarn people it can happen

[@shovanabajracharya]

What is that tape called?

[@cherylthrash4375]

How can I get this set?

[@natashabrook7591]

Why not just hold the uv lamp over the pieces instead of moving them and risking damage? Would that work better or be easier?

[@jessicasefcik5078]

What kind of tape is this?

[@karenlloyd16]

No Amazon link for Australia. 😥

[@ShellsSpace_MyEndobattle]

Only UV resin I will EVER use

[@librainfinity2131]

Hi these are great pieces..!! Is UV resin really necessary for jewelry or they can be made with epoxy resin too ?

[@Dainty213]

You can use epoxy too. Some prefer UV because it cures faster.

[@customMadebyACLD]

Hi Steve, I always love watching your videos. Your tips are always so awesome. I created a section in my craft planner where I have all your tips listed. It's my go to whenever I do resin crafts. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I have to redo my subscription so I can have access to more of your videos.

[@trudysmith2271]

I love the idea of a craft planner!

[@customMadebyACLD]

@@trudysmith2271 I do so many crafts I found it's the best way to stay organized. It also helps me keep my notes in one place when I do my own designs and patterns. It's so easy then to use as a reference when a customer/client wants the same thing. It also cuts down on making things as I no longer have to use a picture which I used to do a lot. Lol 😆 😆 😆 😆

[@dalialovesdoggies4361]

😅help. Rookie here. Does one need to use uv resin...or is epoxy resin is good enough?

[@Dainty213]

Either one is fine. UV resin just cures faster

[@runaroundsueaccessibletrav6357]

How much would you sell these for. Only asking as already make very similar and worry I charge too much?

[@WitchKing813]

I'm a bit like that, worry I'm either charging to much or not enough. I'm terrible at working out the price. I don't have much money to buy what I need most of the time and I've only managed to sell one necklace (three really but I don't count the two my daughter bought lol) so not making much anyway yet.

[@grannynara]

I'm a newbie, and made a couple of pieces. However when I peeled a piece off the tape it appeared the resin was not set, even though it was set on top. What's up with that?

[@grannynara]

The bottom was all sticky and a little goopy after I peeled off the tape. I'd had under the UV light a couple of minutes or so. The top was fine. So I put the goopy side under the UV light for another minute. But now there were imperfections.

[@shellinboots]

i bought a pack of liquid dye and only later saw that the package information said to not use it with UV resin 😭 haven't found any liquid colours for UV
