Glad I could help! 😀
Wow I am so glad I came across your video. I have a Cricut machine and it never occurred to me to make my own earrings cards. THANK YOU!!!!!!
You can make your own jewelry boxes too! th-cam.com/video/hpUyoW4MPPo/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been really debating on making my own earrings but COVID is making me consider practicing to sell..these are gorgeous😍
Go for it! Even if you don't sell them it's super fun and rewarding.
Thank you so much for showing the process! Now I know I need the hand drill 😍
There are some molds that come with a little bump so there is a hole for earring hooks and eye pins :) the drill isn’t really necessary
@@hheaarteyes thank you 💗
If you are looking for the hand drill I recommend I have it on my list here: www.amazon.com/shop/squidlicks?listId=24F3JVJD2HF9V&ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_list_own_squidlicks_dp_0Y65WEpS0khsB
Great job 👌

Hi friend... brautiful.... like it
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Your videos are great. Do you make bangle bracelets too? Would love to see a quick tutorial.
Thanks so much! That’s a great idea I will add that to my list!
Oh, that's fantastic, Yanna. Thank you so much for the video. It's very informative. I am thinking of getting into resin. They look amazing. That's cool that you incorporate your graphic design skills into it...I will be doing that as well :)
I'm so glad I was able to help! Being a designer is a definitely a boost for a jewelry business. 😀
OMG that was freaking amazing!! I have the same set and i am looking to others to see how to make them. Your earrings were HOTTTT!!! but your freaking jewelry cards were OUT OF THIS WORLD HOT! Great Job! you have given me so many ideas! Subscribing!!
Thank you so much you are too nice!! Glad to have you, hope I can continue to inspire 😊
I am madly in love with all of these earrings! What kind of wire did you use for those half circle ones?
Easy
buttiful wow
Do you have a video or can you make one on how you used the cricut for your cardboard holder. Thanks! This was a super helpful video
Thank you so much for sharing this video with the world. I learned a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful work.
What do you call (& where did you find) the back part of those earrings (the ones you glued to the back
This video was insanely helpful thank you so much!!! Where did you get the earring posts and backings?
emma k probably Amazon or Etsy
I usually get them on amazon. Here is a good option for posts: amzn.to/2MngUas
Peel away from the mat (as in May face down)to reduce the chances of you ripping your cards. Great video!
Good tip! Thanks!
So beautiful! Where did you get the molds? I missed that part lol
Stephanie Fernandez “lets resin” on ama6
Here is a list, they are in the mold section! www.amazon.com/shop/squidlicks
@@Squidlicks not there were would like to purchase
what epoxy resin brand is the best in making jewely for comercial purpose
The jump rings I have are to small to out the ewribga together! What size do you use?
Can you show how you mixed it thank you
Beautiful earrings. How long did you wait before taking them out of the mold?
Thank you so much, it was really useful, can you please tell me what kind of glue you're using? I made some rings but I couldn't find suitable glue to glue resin on metal
. Thanks
she used E6000
Hi, can you tell me exactly what glitter & gray material that you used in these earrings? Thank you!
will you do a tutorial on making earring cards like the one you made on this video. Your work is so amazing, I really like it
Thank you so much! I have a video on my packaging if you are still interested I can send you the link.
@@Squidlicks wow, I apologize I am just seeing this, yes please send me the link. thank you in advance..
what type of paper/card stock is that you used to make the backing cards for your earrings? thanks so much this video was so helpful!
Just regular cardstock from the craft store, but I would recommend a little bit thicker cardstock if you can find it.
Love it! but now I need a Cricut :p
Cricut's are the best. I'm going to enable you and say that you do need one 😂
Hi! I’ve just started my resin journey and I was just curious as to where you get the paper earring holders. I want to make jewelry look a bit more professional.
I have a Cricut and designed the file myself! You can find the file here if you have a cricut: www.etsy.com/listing/806867453/earring-card-cut-file-svg?ref=shop_home_active_1
These are BEAUTIFUL ... question are these heavy or more hollow/light when wearing them?
Thank you so much! They are super light! Resin is usually very lightweight.
What colors did you use?
How much resin do you prepare for each mold?
Thanks!
Hello. I love your work. What do you use to tint the resin? Also, how do I get them to come out shiny on the bottom side, they are dull
Hi, I use alcohol ink in this video. Check if your molds are shiny, the resin will have the same finish your mold has.
I feel silly asking but what is the thing you use to cut out your design? it’s so cool!
Can more glitter be added? Or does it make it harder to dry? I've never made earrings before but, I want to try. Thanks bunches. I love how yours turned out!!!
You can add as much glitter as you like! It will make the mixture thicker though.
Thanks for the wonderful video!! What paints/colors did you add? Also, what is the brand of hand drill that you use? Thanx again. Waiting for more resing jewelry videos
Hi! All the items I use and recommend can be found here: www.amazon.com/shop/squidlicks
@@Squidlicks when will you restock
Where'd you get those cups with the beak on them? It'll help me so much when pouring
You can find them on my list here:

Hi,Squidlicks! Can you tell me what kind of cardstock did you use for package on cricut? What kind of resin did you use? Thank you.
Hi Luisa! I just used the cardstock from Michaels. Here it is in red, but they come in all colors: www.michaels.com/red-cardstock-paper-value-pack-by-recollections-5.5-in-x-5.75-in/10615834.html
Where did you buy the machine??
Are you using UV light to have an quick dry? Thankyouuuu more tutorials
The resin I used in this video was not UV resin, it was 2-part resin. I find that using uv resin in large amounts is hard to control, and expensive!
👍😀
How long did you let your resin set for? A few hours? Thank you for this video!
It's different depending on the resin your using but for this resin I'm using it takes 24 hours. Here's a video where I explain what resin I use: th-cam.com/video/5Oyv32KdAlI/w-d-xo.html
How many hours does it take to dry?
Where did you get your nail polish love it
I think I'm wearing 2 different ones in this video, haha!
Hi, so beautiful, by the way how long did resin dry? And what's the amount of Resin?
The resin I use takes 24 hours till you can take them out of the mold, but when making thinner pieces I will let them sit in the mold for longer because they will still be somewhat bendy after only 24 hours. I'm not sure how much resin I used, I never measure, but i should! 😅
Hey, where do you got those „stabs“ for the hoops from? I couldn’t find them on Amazon 🙄 thx ☺️
Hi! I just jewelry pins like these, cut them with wire cutters, and file them down so they are not sharp: amzn.to/39UANlR
So I tried the E6000 glue the way you did with the hoop earrings and it didnt hold very well. Any recommendations?
You can always use a little bit of resin! That will hold better.
What resin do you use or what resin do you recommend most for jewelry making
I recommend this resin: entropyresins.com/product/ccr-clear-casting-epoxy/
I have seen several tutorials about making epoxy earring and I am confused whether to use UV epoxy or glue to attach the stud?
UV will be a stronger hold but your earring will need to be see through for the light to cure the resin behind the post. If not, use regular resin or glue.
I also have ears!!!
😄
How do you clean these molds when dirty? TY
If I am lazy packing tape or a lint roller. Otherwise just some dish soap and let air dry to avoid lint. If you get hard water marks use filtered water to rinse :)
How much resin did you prepare? I have these plus an additional from let’s resin but I cant find how much I should mix up
This is a bad question for me because I am not great at pre-measuring for my molds. A lot of people will measure the mold out by filling it with water and measuring the water that you pour out. Just make sure the mold is dry before using!
I’m using puduo resin do I need to use a uv light or is that only with uv resin
UV resin that needs light will come in a black bottle so not sunlight can get in. If your bottle is clear and in 2 parts it's probably just regular resin.
What file did you use on the cricut machine to make the earring cards?
I actually made the file you can get it here: www.etsy.com/listing/806867453/earring-card-cut-file-svg?ref=shop_home_active_1
Where did you get your tiny drill bits?!
Hi! This is the hand drill i use: amzn.to/3lSb9Dj
What's the svg or cut file for the earring holder you created?
Hi! You gave me a great idea! I actually just posted the file for sale for $3 here: www.etsy.com/listing/806867453/earring-card-cut-file-svg?ref=shop_home_active_1
Hi! I've watched so many of your videos and I've decided to make earrings myself! Unfortunately when I took the earrings and keychains outside they started to bend and one of my earrings even broke. the heat gets up to 110 degrees where I live :(. Do you think its the heat or am I just not doing the correct ratios? Any help would be appreciated thanks!! :)
Yes resins can be super sensitive to heat. Did you let them cure a long time? Sometimes it can take up to 7 days to cure. It could also be the ratio. I found that when mixing small amounts of resin the ratio can be easier to mess up so you have to be extra careful. Hope that helps!
What size drill bit did you use for the hoops? I did this but the earring was too thin and the post fell out):
It would depend on the thickness of post you are using. I eyeball mine against the post. You can always drill from smaller size to bigger and test it out since you can't go backwards.
Hi there, nice crafting skills. Could you please be so king to recommend your resin? Thank You.
Yes I can, I actually have a video for that! th-cam.com/video/5Oyv32KdAlI/w-d-xo.html
Can u tell me where u get ur drill please
I was able to snag mine on amazon! Here's the link: amzn.to/2KWamiu
When I drill a hole for the pin and then glue it with the E600 it doesn't stay, the pin wiggles loose. The drill bit is about the same size as the pin. Should I drill the hole longer or try a different glue?
I would try a different glue, maybe something similar to like a super glue? Or you could use a bit of resin next time you mix up a batch!
Where i can order all that stuff
Hi! You can find it here: www.amazon.com/shop/squidlicks
I wanna start making my own but I don't know if I should start with a kit or buy everything by itself? What would you recommend?
Hmmm... I really depends if you think you are going to be committed to it and buy a larger quantity of resin or if you just want to dip your feet in. I end up using a lot of the stuff in kits anyway so it's not a total waste to get one! It's a convenient starting point for sure but if you know you're going to get serious about it I would go for the larger amounts.
Squidlicks Thank you.
what kind of resin do you use? Cuz I've tried two different ones and one of them was still sticky even after few days and second one was veeeery smelly. Please help!
Check the description I think it's in their
Thats bc you didnt mix correctly & almost all resins have a smell. Wear PPE at all times
I have a video explaining what resins I use! But yes be careful they can be harmful so use a mask if required! Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/5Oyv32KdAlI/w-d-xo.html
I mix rasin and hardner but did not dry it why is that
Please help!!! I have been doing epoxy resin earrings for a few months and they come out beautiful and cured. But once they are exposed to sun they get soft/bendy. Once off of the sun they go back to normal. I have tried different brands and it keeps happening. I’m sure I’m measuring right and stirring it slow and for at least 5 min. Do you have any tips? Or any resin brand that you recommend?
It also happens when I make rolling trays, keychains, ashtrays or something else that is usually ticker than an earring 🙃
Thank you so much!
I think most resins do get somewhat bendy in the sun. I would try to use UV resin and see if that happens?
@@Squidlicks thank you so much!!! 🙏
What resin do you recommend
I actually have a video where I explain what resin I use and why! th-cam.com/video/5Oyv32KdAlI/w-d-xo.html
What machine and program u used?
It's a Cricut Maker, it comes with it's own program to run!
With gilter you put something else what is that
What brand is this mold?
You can find it here: amzn.to/3w3DM5f
Hi what’s the size of the jump rings
To be honest I am not entirely sure. I just grab the variety package of sizes and try them all until one fits haha!
How pierced the earing ??
i mean what the name of this tool ??
Are you referring to the hand drill?
