Step 1

Make sure mold is clean, dry and free of dust. Pour UV resin into the mold directly from the bottle, filling the cavity less than 1/3 of the way.

Step 2

Add some rainbow sprinkles, spreading them out evenly.
TIP: Take your time to arrange the sprinkles. Make sure that no air bubbles get trapped underneath. Also, keep in mind that the bottom-most part of the molded piece is the front.

Step 3

Pour additional resin to fill the mold to the top.

Step 4

Cure the mold under the UV lamp for several minutes until completely cured. Cool for 1-2 minutes. De-mold the shape by popping it out of the mold. If still slightly tacky, cure again under the UV light.

Step 5

Attach a 6mm jump ring to the top of the shape, then attach an earwire to the jump ring using a 6mm jump ring. 

Step 6

Add glue to the bottom "legs" of the rainbow and attach one white pom-pom. Let dry.

Step 7

Repeat Steps 1-6 for a second earring.
