UO DIY: Resin Rings With @discorings
For SS21 it’s all about resin jewellery and we’re obsessed. Follow @discorings' step-by-step guide to creating your own funky stacking rings in Y2K marble colourways and adorned with kitsch beads.
Blue Butterfly Ring
- Get organised! Turn the oven on to 120-140º, find a baking tray and gather your equipment.
- Choose a block colour and cut around 2cm off the clay.
- Roll! Keep the middle chunky compared to the back.
- Use the ring sizer and wrap the ring around to find the size you want. Cut off any extra. Tip - save the extra to help make another ring!
- Join the ring by gently smoothing each side together - it helps to balance on a finger to ensure no dents.
- Add your groovy bead(s) by pushing gently to ensure you don’t enlarge the ring. Place on your baking tray, ready to cook when you've made all your rings!
Red & Pink Marble Ring
- Play around with colour combos! Choose your clay - we’ve gone for pink & red. Clashing colours work best for a contrast marble effect.
- Cut around 2cm off each colour and roll into 2 separate lines.
- Roll together, fold over and roll again until you’ve created a marble you’re happy with.
The contrast of the pink and red works so well!
- Use the ring sizer and wrap the ring around to find the size you want. Cut off any extra.
- Create your desired swirl. Gently press together.
- Place on your baking tray and cook for 20-40 minutes. Leave to cool then add your resin, polish or hardener.
