I’ve made a few earrings after watching all of your videos and I’m getting better and better at it. I used UV resin as a final topcoat and I agree that the 2-part resin is better. It isn’t as thick as the UV resin, it has better coverage, and I think the final result is brighter. I’m going to switch to it all the time after I use up my UV resin. But, they still turned out pretty good. I wore a pair to work and a coworker asked me to make her a similar pair, which I did, and she loves them. She and another coworker have asked me to make some patriotic and Halloween earrings for them. I’m definitely switching to the 2-part resin for those. I really love the tissue paper flower earrings. They are so pretty! 👍
Loving ur videos & I'm new to ur channel. Question:❓ I'm not understanding how the brown sheet that you are placing over ur earrings to make the napkins art paper to adhere to the wood...plz advise pieces
@themztr it is just a teflon sheet to protect my heat press, you should always use something over your project like a teflon sheet or parchment paper. Hope that helps.
How do you keep the resin from running off? I’ve been using uv resin on my hand painted earrings for 2 years with no problems. Epoxy would go everywhere ! 😮
You make these without using any heat, you would just paint on the mod podge and put the paper or napkin on while it is wet. You can put mod podge on top if you aren’t going to use resin. Hope that helps.

So you can just use your cricketmini machine to heat the scrap paper and not have to use mod podge?
Yes you can, I use the circut heat press that is 12”. But you can use the mini.

I pour a small amount and love it around and add more if needed but not too much at a time. Hope that helps.
What is the name of the machine?
What type of heat press do you have?
It is the Cricut 12” heat press.
Bow many earrings do you carry to an event to sell?
I haven't really counted but it is more than 100.
I am having a hard time with the card stock dancing it off
What else can be used if I don't have the heating iron and Teflon paper?
You make these without using any heat, you would just paint on the mod podge and put the paper or napkin on while it is wet. You can put mod podge on top if you aren’t going to use resin. Hope that helps.
Thank you yes
Can't wait to see how you add the resin I bought the 2 part one but haven't tried it yet
Can you share the name and link to the resin please?
I use Resin from A Maker's Studio.
Love these and all you videos but seems like a lot of waste the way your cutting out may be because you are in hurry for video
