Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make these pendants. I've seen them at craft shows and was always fascinated by the glass look of the resin. Neat to see it's possible to make them myself!
I also really like how Ice Resin in particular looks: the crystal clear glass like finish it gets, relatively few bubbles, and how easily it domes. Although I do sometimes have a bad pour (we all do) I feel like I can pretty much count on Ice Resin turning out the way I want it to, and for me, that is priceless.
I have also found that this reduces glare, although it can be really hard to get rid of all the glare (I think it just comes with the territory of this medium). I will add to our to-do list a glass tile pendant video, it's a great idea!
I emailed Jason from beadaholique's customer support...after I talked it over with him i set the sticky pieces out in the sun for about 20-30 mins and BOOM they were all good. Thanks Y'all!
I would suggest laying an entire new layer of resin over the entire surface to even out any uneven areas and then putting it back under the UV light. If you just put a little in one area, it will create a line and look uneven and almost lumpy.
I have used fabric and lace before. Once you put the resin on it, the fabric and lace become saturated and darken quite a bit. White lace pretty much disappears under resin. It does create a unique look. The bail should glue on fine, just still use E6000.
@Beadaholique The stickers give the appearance of resin but they do not require any drying time. You will need to wait for the glue to dry when you adhere the image/sticker to the tile but this should only take about 10 - 15 minutes. Also, the cost to make the Scrabble tile pendants using the stickers is a lot less then resin, there is hardly any mess, and anybody can do it. The entire project will definitely fit into your 30 minute time frame.
1. There is a difference between using resin and epoxy stickers. Resin is much more of a solid, permanent, professional option. The resin will give a glass like appearance to your finished piece and is water-proof. The stickers are a great option for fun and quick projects. They do give a nice appearance but it is not as polished as the resin and the stickers could become unstuck if submerged in water.
Hi! Sorry I misunderstood about the glass tile, oops! I am so glad you liked the video :) A couple things come to mind about the glare and the bubbles. I have used glass tiles to make pendants before myself and I have also experienced some glare and bubbles. What I have found that helps is to apply the image to the tile first so that I can press on the backside of the paper to really smooth out bubbles. I then trim the image and glue it to the pendant.
I’ve watched this video multiple times for years because of the tingles it gives me and watching it today was the first time I ever noticed that and it truly blew my mind 😭
@linakaprice Mod Podge will work just fine as a sealant. A couple things to keep in mind as you are working with it: make sure to use several layers of Mod Podge. Personally, I find that I have the best results when I use 3 layers. So paint on 1 thin layer, let it dry, paint on a second thin layer, let it dry, and finally paint on a third thin layer and let it dry fully. The layers will dry quickly because you are going to be making them thin.
@Beadaholique The one thing to remember with Mod Podge is that it can look "thick" if you are not careful - so again, just keep your layers thin and even. Have fun!
I do a lot of printing of images and I prefer an 80# - 100# matte white paper. Sometimes this is listed as card stock and sometimes it is not. Basically you want it to have some weight to it so that the glue and sealants can be absorbed by the paper without warping it. I never use photo paper. If you plan on using resin on top of the paper, make sure to seal it with 3 coats of Nunn Design Sealant prior to coating.
Resin will give you a more polished look then Dimensional Mod Podge and also a lot more "solid" appearance (hard and sleek). You probably could use Dimensional Magic and achieve a similar look but it will not be exactly the same.
Hi! I find that the 2 part resins dome a little better then the 1 part. Although you can dome them it is more difficult, and if you are using a UV light for curing, it means you will need to move your piece which can be a little scary when doming. I have found that it is ok to use either 1 part resin or 2 part resin indoors as long as it is properly ventilated.
It took me many years and many mistakes to learn what is in the blog. I do prefer Ice Resin for several reasons. Firstly, and this is just my opinion, I really like working with a 2-part resin vs. a UV resin. This is because once you put the UV resin under the curing lamp, that's it, you are committed and if any bubbles rise up during the curing process (or dust gets in there) there is not anything you can do about it. I find a 2 part resin to be more forgiving and you have more working time.
Because it is a sticker, you could also potentially get finger nail imprints or scratches on the surface - resin will be much harder and more difficult to damage. 2. You can use diamond glaze but it will not be as high shine or glass-like as resin. You also will most likely not be able to get as deep of a layer as resin or as nice of a dome shape (if you plan on doming).
@linakaprice If you are using a 2 part resin such as Easy Cast or Ice Resin, the pendants will need to cure (dry) overnight before they can be moved and then will need to fully cure for another 2 days before they should be worn. However, if you are using a 1 part resin such as Gel du Soleil and have a UV lamp, they will cure in about 15 minutes. My best recommendation would actually be to make the Scrabble tile pendant using epoxy stickers.
You do not need a UV lamp for Ice Resin, it will cure on its own - 24 hours for a hard cure and 3 days for a full cure. I experienced a lot of bubbles too during my first forays into resin work. Don't give up! There are a lot of reasons why those bubbles could have formed. I recently wrote a blog post with tips about working with resin. If you have time, read through it. There's a link for the blog in the video description underneath this video.
Probably closer to the 6 if I had to guess, but it is only a guess. 4. I have seen some resins yellow over long periods of time, especially if exposed to a lot of sunlight. Ice Resin is the resin I prefer, and I have not seen yellowing in pieces I did even 2 years ago. I have personally not seen yellowing with Gel du Soleil either. As for the stickers, I would not think that they would yellow since they are not a glue or a resin.
I can only speak from my personal observations but I find UV resin is actually harder to work with because you loose control of it once it goes under the UV lamp. I have had several instances where a bubble appears during the curing process and I can't do anything about it. I also find the 2-part resin domes better and is better for thicker layers.
@wheretherewildthings You can get them on Beadaholique's website. The links for the supplies in this video including the Scrabble tiles are located in the video description underneath the video.
3. The small bottle of Gel du Soleil is pretty small (hence the lower price). I have never used an entire bottle just making these tiles, so I can not actually say how many you would be able to cover. It is also going to depend upon how thick of a layer you put on. In the product description, it says that it will fill 4 - 6 Patera style pendants depending on size. I think this is a good estimate as to how many tiles you could cover.
@Ladyinthedarkmirror They're called Natural Wood Square Collage Jewelry Pendant Tiles - SKU: BWD-9000. There's a list of supplies and their sku numbers in the video description.
If you are not happy with the print quality on your home printer, then you can take your images to an office store to be printed with their laser printers - the colors are sometimes more vibrant when you do this.
Unless something says that it is fine to use, is copyright free, is specifically made for commercial use, or is of an age where the copyright has expired, you can probably assume that someone somewhere holds the copyright.
I would suggest gluing your sticker in place before putting the resin on top. There are lots of wonderful stickers and images out there but I worry that the resin might creep under some looser stickers if they are not glue in place. Also, you want to make sure that the image has a tight bond to the setting.
@xxcyberbunnyxx Resin will give you a more polished look then Dimensional Magic and also a lot more "solid" appearance (hard and sleek). You probably could use Dimensional Magic and achieve a similar look but it will not be exactly the same.
Resin cures best when an even temperature is maintained, outdoors will mean swings in temperature which could result in a cloudiness to your pieces. 2 part resins are more cost effective. I am sorry but I do not know how many 1" tiles you can make out of a bottle. A lot would depend on how thick of a layer you are putting on and if you are doming. It does not make a difference what size disc you use. Have fun!
I personally prefer Ice Resin for making my own pendants and then I always seal my images with Nunn Design Sealant (3 coats) before pouring the resin. Ice Resin is a 2 part epoxy resin, I am not sure what type you purchased, but there are lots of brands out there and everyone has their own favorite.
We currently don't sell Frida Kahlo collage sheets. To check out the collage sheets that we do sell, click on the link for them in the video description underneath this video.
@artzinspiration If you want to achieve a completely smooth, domed effect on your scrabble tile, I would use either 1 or 2 part resin or epoxy stickers. The Diamond Glaze works, but it looks like a sealed/glazed finish and not a dome. I have tried to apply a heavier application of Diamond Glaze to mimic a raised effect, and the result was not the same as resin or an epoxy sticker.
@pinkbunny186 We use both Natural Wood Square Collage Jewelry Pendant Tiles 25mm and Wooden Scrabble Jewelry Pendant Tiles. You can get them on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath the video.
I have tried using fabric with mixed results. The fabric absorbs the glue and the resins - which results in it darkening. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does change the look of the piece. I am a huge fan of experimenting, so I would suggest playing around with the idea and seeing what happens.
These rings will be water-resistant, however the scrabble tile itself is wood and wood does absorb moisture. I think you will be fine to shower in these but I would probably not go swimming in them.
Hi! I am not equipped to give legal advice but I do know that there are a lot of copyright free images which can be purchased or found free of charge - these will often tell you that they are fine to use.

You can not use resin to adhere the image to the tile so you need a glue of some sort - Mod Podge, Crafter's Pick, Nunn Design Glue all work well. For the top coat, resin gives a really permanent high-shine professional look, Mod Podge would not have the same appearance.
I am sorry for the confusion, since your comment was made under the "Scrabble" tile pendant video, I assumed that was what you were working with. What type of paper are you using?

A sticky layer to me sounds like it is not curing properly which is either the resin being old or it not sitting in the UV light long enough. Even though it is recommended to keep your object in the UV lamp for 15 - 20 minutes, try keeping a test piece in there for 40 minutes and see what happens.
You are a very good instructor! Really appreciate the detail you provide. One question: what type of paper do you use to print your images onto? Card stock?, regular printer paper?, etc. the paper looked thicker than regular printer paper when you were cutting the image out. Thanks for responding!!
@Beadaholique Check out our video called "How to Make Scrabble Tile Pendants Using Epoxy Stickers". And there are written instructions on Beadaholique's website - Project N635. Have fun!
Thank you for the reply about the "dry patches on my pendant" my comment was in regards to glass tile pendant...do you have a video on how to do one? I use diamond glaze but it dries out with glares and dry patches and sometimes bubbles :( I have tried everything but nothing...your scrabble tile video was awesome! it helped me do the gifts I wanted to do for my baby shower...love it! let me know if you will be having a Glass tile pendant video.
Hi, excellent video! Quick question..how should I go about choosing what images I can use in my projects for commercial use? I've been doing a bit of research but I'm still unsure what to do. I don't want a cease and desist letter! Thanks.
@Beadaholique Thanks! :D But i was thinking of using Mod Podge as a sealer since we're not professional enough(or have enough money D:) to afford resin.... Do you think that would be okay? I mean I know it's now perfect, but acceptable... And YES! I will check out that epoxy stickers video! I never thought about stickers before! such a simple but brilliant idea..... THANK YOU!~
You can get collage artwork on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath this video.
So I was using Gel du soleil for the first time. I went outside to use it. I know, I know, what was I thinking? I thought I could apply it out there and have it ready to set in the sun. I didn't realize it would set so quickly. I quickly came inside and was able to fix it but. Word to the wise...or should I said unwise, make sure you apply the gel du soleil INSIDE.
Hi! I wonder what kind of epoxy resin did you use? And what kind do you recommend for making pendants with my own images? I just bought 2-part epoxy resin that should be used for bonding materials...can I use that to make my pendants? Thank you :D
Hello, If I take this to a copy center such as staples to get my images laser jet printed, What type of paper would I tell them to use? Please help. Thank You, Margaret
Thanks for the reply, but I was talking about the glass pendant..nothing to do with the scrabble tiles..I was talking about the glass tile I bought from you store 36819-clear-glass-jewelry-pendant-tiles-square-25mm-4.aspx . What I would do is put the diamond glaze on the glass then attached the image I would squeeze it together to get bubbles out and stuff but there was always a glare on the background :(

I love how the scrabble pieces spell ASMR, cause your videos do have a little ASMR in them :3

Brilliant. Thank you. Very easy to follow and great examples. Well done.
Finally, with Diamond Glaze, I have heard of it yellowing over time in some cases but I have not seen this directly, only heard about it.
I do a lot of printing of images and I prefer an 80# - 100# matte white paper. Sometimes this is listed as card stock and sometimes it is not. Basically you want it to have some weight to it so that the glue and sealants can be absorbed by the paper without warping it. I never use photo paper.

Wow.... You have really inspired me to start making some of this Jewellery..... Wonderful presentation of your work. Lisa in South Australia :-)
Resin will give you a more polished look then Dimensional Mod Podge and also a lot more "solid" appearance (hard and sleek). You probably could use Dimensional Magic and achieve a similar look but it will not be exactly the same.
The bails used in this project are silver plated. However, there are sterling silver ones available on our website. Just search "glue-on bails".

I have tried using fabric with mixed results. The fabric absorbs the glue and the resins - which results in it darkening. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does change the look of the piece. I am a huge fan of experimenting, so I would suggest playing around with the idea and seeing what happens.
I loved the tutorial. I would use glossy accents though for the domed effect.
I have found that mod podge dimensional does not result in the same appearance as resin. Resin has a more "clean" and "polished".
These rings will be water-resistant, however the scrabble tile itself is wood and wood does absorb moisture. I think you will be fine to shower in these but I would probably not go swimming in them.
Yes, you can wire wrap tile and make a wire setting.

We do not carry Royal Coat decoupage finish so unfortunately I can not speak to its attributes or if it is possible to substitute something for it.
I recommend 3 layers of mod podge or sealant.
You are fantastic. Love you!!
Thank you for answering.

I have glass squares too made for this purpose so you don't need a resin finish but I guess would still need resin in back of paper..
nice!I love this idea..my friend makes these!
You are a very good instructor! Really appreciate the detail you provide. One question: what type of paper do you use to print your images onto? Card stock?, regular printer paper?, etc. the paper looked thicker than regular printer paper when you were cutting the image out. Thanks for responding!!
THANKYOU FOR THIS TUT. I HAVE A SIGHT PROBLEM SO I LOOK FOR THINGS I CAN MAKE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE READING TINY DETAILS ETC.
you can paint a border if you cut to small a thin black or white border would clean it up
@Beadaholique Check out our video called "How to Make Scrabble Tile Pendants Using Epoxy Stickers". And there are written instructions on Beadaholique's website - Project N635.

Thank you for the reply about the "dry patches on my pendant" my comment was in regards to glass tile pendant...do you have a video on how to do one? I use diamond glaze but it dries out with glares and dry patches and sometimes bubbles :( I have tried everything but nothing...your scrabble tile video was awesome! it helped me do the gifts I wanted to do for my baby shower...love it! let me know if you will be having a Glass tile pendant video.
Thank you so much!
I would not recommend using nail polish instead of Mod Podge. One is more a of a lacquer and one is a glue.
Hi, excellent video!
Quick question..how should I go about choosing what images I can use in my projects for commercial use? I've been doing a bit of research but I'm still unsure what to do. I don't want a cease and desist letter! Thanks.
I want one of it...so cute
@Beadaholique
Thanks! :D
But i was thinking of using Mod Podge as a sealer since we're not professional enough(or have enough money D:) to afford resin....
Do you think that would be okay?
I mean I know it's now perfect, but acceptable...

Hi! I am sorry but I am not familiar with the product "glossy accents" so unfortunately I can not compare the two products.
This is a great video, how many layers of mod podge did you use?
Have you used Fabric? It'd be nice to put fabric, like lace for the backside. Do you think the brail would glue to the back once the resin is dried?
So I was using Gel du soleil for the first time. I went outside to use it. I know, I know, what was I thinking? I thought I could apply it out there and have it ready to set in the sun. I didn't realize it would set so quickly. I quickly came inside and was able to fix it but. Word to the wise...or should I said unwise, make sure you apply the gel du soleil INSIDE.
Hi! I wonder what kind of epoxy resin did you use? And what kind do you recommend for making pendants with my own images? I just bought 2-part epoxy resin that should be used for bonding materials...can I use that to make my pendants? Thank you :D
Can you use mod podge dimensionals instead of the resin?
Can you use the dimensional Mod Podge instead of resin?
Hello, If I take this to a copy center such as staples to get my images laser jet printed, What type of paper would I tell them to use? Please help.
Thank You,

Thanks for the reply, but I was talking about the glass pendant..nothing to do with the scrabble tiles..I was talking about the glass tile I bought from you store 36819-clear-glass-jewelry-pendant-tiles-square-25mm-4.aspx . What I would do is put the diamond glaze on the glass then attached the image I would squeeze it together to get bubbles out and stuff but there was always a glare on the background :(
how long does it usually take to dry?
I'm trying to do this project for an art club at school but I only have 30 minutes complete it...
Aside from curing time, what are the inherent differences between UV and 2 part resin?
After I cure the gel du soleil under a UV light it sets, but there is a sticky layer on top, its happened everytime so far. any tips?
could i use medium AANRAKU Pendant Bails on one inch title pendants? I guess I am asking would it fit on the pendant?
In case i don't have any resin, can i use super glue instead to coat the image?
