Hello, my name is Petra Laan. How nice that you are reading one of my manuals that I wrote for epoxy shop itsOkay. Now that it is slowly getting darker earlier, the Christmas period is approaching again. So a nice opportunity to already make Christmas decorations. How nice is it that you can make cool Christmas ornaments with epoxy casting resin. In this manual I will take you step by step. Have fun reading and DIYing. At the bottom of this page I will show different end results for inspiration. Have fun making the Christmas ornaments.
In this manual I will explain to you with simple instructions how you too can get started with the epoxy resin and make a pair of beautiful earrings yourself. My manual is certainly not only made for advanced users. Even the beginning artist can express his creativity in making beautiful earrings.
PS: Polymer clay has the property of being very light in weight, so it is extremely suitable for large earrings!
- 1:1 Mixing UltraEpoxy

Protect your work surface with a silicone mat in case you spill epoxy resin . Put on old clothes and a long-sleeved shirt. Put on the mask or face shield and start weighing the epoxy resin .
To make these three Christmas hangers you need about 40 to 50 grams of epoxy resin per hanger. You make these hangers in two times, why… you will read that later.
We use the clear simple 1:1 mix UltraEpoxy from itsOkay. You can also use the Premium Art UltraEpoxy , this is cheaper but a bit more difficult in mixing ratio. Mix 65 grams of epoxy resin (a) and 65 grams of epoxy hardener (b), that makes a total of 130 grams. Stir this gently and well for at least 3 minutes.
Let the mixed epoxy resin rest for a few minutes , so that any air bubbles can rise to the top. Pop air bubbles with a heat tool or Bubble Blaster . Now add 10 to a maximum of 30 drops of epoxy pigment . I choose the colors black/silver. Slowly stir the colors through the epoxy resin until the color is even. 
Fill all three epoxy molds with the colored epoxy . I always fill the molds to just over the edge: you will then see a bulge appear. This is how the pendant comes out of the mold the best. Epoxy always shrinks a little during the curing process. 
Let the epoxy harden for 12-24 hours. After 24 hours you can remove your creation from the mold. 
After removing the mold, you can still cast your creation with a different color epoxy. I prepare 20 grams of epoxy for this and add silver pigment and glitter to it. So I mix 10 grams of epoxy resin (a) and 10 grams of epoxy hardener (b). Carefully fill your pendants and let this harden for 24 hours. 
After another 24 hours of waiting, the hangers are ready. You can hang them nicely in the Christmas tree or in front of the window.
