You shouldn’t pull the loop on your finding down or out, it weakens the metal. You should use a side to side motion (use two pair of pliers and grab the jump ring on each side if the slit and pull one side toward you and one side away from you). That keeps your circle in a circle shape and it closes more seamlessly. It doesn’t weaken the metal as easily. Thank you for your tutorials. 😊

My wires are facing the opposite way, any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

Are you using a kit? Or DIY? Sometimes the kits have single facing earrings, in that case they are ear specific. If not you can take jewelers pliers (or regular ones) and rotate the earring wire so that the earring will face the way you need it to. I have had to do this a few times. KZfaq has some instructional videos on how to do this which can show you exactly what to do. It takes a little bit of a knack to not bend the wire out of shape.

Hey there... brilliant ideas for using acrylic skins, many thanks for sharing. I would like to ask if the last set of earrings that you make with resin, do you put resin on both sides at once or you do each side separately and wait each side to dry? And do you have a specific resin mix recipe for these earrings? Maybe you have a video on this , if you could please share . Much appreciated😊

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

For resin I would recommend UV resin and to do each side separately. The cure time is very quick.

Thank you for this great tutorial! Can you please share your recipe for the best skins? Also, if Im pouring just for this purpose, what surface do you pour on? Ive heard photo paper, freezer paper etc... what do you use? Thank you!!

@TheWellEducatedArtist 10 ай бұрын

The best surface to pour on is freezer paper since you can store the skins easily or use a silicone mat for super easy removal. The recipe would depend on what you are doing with the skin. Floetrol, Liquitex paint and water is fine for making jewelry or things you need a thin skin for. However, for many things I prefer bloom skins which are tougher and thicker. I have several videos on how to make various types of skins on my channel in the skins playlist. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the great tutorials on jewelry making! Where can I buy the flat metal punches or forms you used? I searched amazon and could not find them. Thanks!

Thanks so much! Ok. On Amazon you will need to search for “Earring Cutting Dies”. I searched to make sure that will work. Let me know if it doesn’t.
