You'll also need
- Images and an inkjet that's good for photo-quality prints. We also offer Pro Printing.
- If you'd rather not purchase access to our online Photo Cropper, you can also use Photoshop or GoogleDocs to resize your images. I've included a how-to guide below.
- Jewelry pliers and findings to assemble your bracelet: I used black jump rings (10mm+), 2 spacer beads and a toggle clasp.
- Sharp scissors and paper towels
These fun pieces are pretty easy to make, but you need to allow time for doming both sides of your Clear Photo Film images.
Step 1 - Resize, print, cut out your images. They need to be printed on Clear Photo Film so the glow will shine through the images. You can print on 4 x 6" or 8-1/2 x 11" format.
Step 2- Place on doming tray and dome the front sides with clear Brilliant Resin. Let this side set up for at least 12 hours.
Step 3 - Flip charms over and place on back of doming Tray. Bend headpins (or wire) into an S-shape that extends beyond the edges of your photo, so they can act as connectors once cured.
Step 4 - Mix Glow In The Dark Additive into Brilliant Resin. You need to add quite a bit as you'll only be applying a thin layer. Let this mixture thicken up for about 30 minutes, then dome the back sides of your pieces. Let that set up for 1-1/2 - 2 hours.
Step 5 - The glowing resin will be thick but sticky, so press your S-shaped wires into place. Allow to set for 12 hours.
