  The technique is very easy: simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a mold, bezel or pendant. Sara uses pre-made, inexpensive molds in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all achievable and look shop-bought. 
  
  You can add numerous items to the resin to create different effects. Paper or foil inserts can provide a background for the bezel, for example, old maps or photographs. Paper can be sprayed or stenciled before being coated with resin. You can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers, feathers, shells and beads, or use glitter, colored inks or nail polish to personalize.
