You'll also need

- Fabric with a distinct design - fabrics react differently in resin, watch the tutorial to help you choose which will work best

- White cardstock, if you decide to back your fabrics as shown in the video (I used this on the birds, but not on the background)

- Waxed paper or another non-stick surface (back of your doming tray works, if you're not using it for other projects). 

- Sharp scissors

- Whatever jewelry findings you want to use to turn your piece into wearable jewelry.  I used jump rings and an old chain I scavanged from a broken necklace.

How-To:

This piece follows the same steps as my other domed fabric projects, but then layers the bird cut-outs over a saturated but not domed background cut from the same fabric. This accentuates the dimension and gives the 2 layers different textures.

You can turn bits and pieces of fabric into jewelry, buttons, pins, magnets, all sorts of shiny treasures!  It's easy to do and super-versatile.  If you're looking for the best resin supplies for beginners, or if you've already got skills, you'll find everything you need here at little-windows.com.  The video above shows how to select the best fabrics for this technique, and how to treat them before applying resin so you get the best looking results. Some fabrics will need a white backing to help the design pop.

The projects you make with this concept can be simple, or lead into a layered fiber wonderland. We have the best resin jewelry starter kit, and unique resin jewelry supplies to make your ideas come to life. In the video I focus on the Resin Doming Technique that Brilliant Resin does so well, but there are lots of ways to use fabrics in your castings too. This is also a great project for mixed media, so throw in an image, a charm, some pigments, or some beads for extra dimension. In addition to the best resin jewelry supplies, this how-to video will walk you step-by-step through how to turn your fabric scraps into awesome pieces! 


I finished this piece by drilling holes and putting jumprings through them, then I scavanged an old broken chain to use that's been in my jewelry box, waiting for a new life.
