📝 Step-by-step instructions
Coloring Resin Clay
Knead a tiny dab of acrylic paint into a small amount of resin clay. Knead the paint in well. Wrap tightly in cling film and set aside. Repeat this process with two more small portions of resin clay and two other colors. The goal is to have three different colored portions of resin clay, each wrapped separately in cling film.
Roll out the roll and cut out the flowers.
Roll out the resin clay to a thickness of 1mm between two sheets of parchment paper. Now cut out a small flower using the flower cutter. Please store any leftover resin clay in an airtight container.
forming daisies
Carefully push the flower out of the cutter using a dotting tool. Place it in the palm of your hand and use the dotting tool to press a small indentation into the center of the flower. Repeat this process with the other two balls. Now let it dry for 24 hours.
Decorate and seal Daisy
Apply a small amount of superglue to the indentation of each dried flower and then place a small metal bead into each one. Let it dry for a few minutes.
We then recommend brushing each individual flower with 1-2 coats of sealer (either matte or glossy). Allow to dry before proceeding to the next step.
Ring base
Now, using the remaining resin clay (any color), roll out another 1mm thin layer and cut out a circle approximately 8-10mm in diameter. Alternatively, you can roll the resin clay into a small ball and flatten it between two sheets of parchment paper. This will be the base of the ring.
Now dip the underside of each flower in a little wood glue and arrange them on the ring base so that the base is barely visible in the end. The flowers should be close together.
Attaching the jewelry connector
Once the ring base has dried sufficiently, you can turn it over and apply a few drops of superglue or jewelry cement to the underside. Now place the round, flat jewelry connector on top.
Attaching the ring
Next, add a couple of drops of glue to the center of the jewelry connector and place the base bezel of the ring on top.
Dry & Done!
Just let the ring dry thoroughly and it's finished!
💡 Pro Tip: Work quickly, as resin clay dries faster than other air-drying modeling clays . If it dries too quickly while you're working, simply moisten it with a few drops of water to make it pliable again. This process can be repeated as often as needed.
A brief word about the choice of materials for Air-Dry Clay jewelry :
Please always use resin clay if you want to create intricate and delicate pieces. Foam clay is fantastic if you want voluminous shapes (e.g., round kawaii figures or fluffy desserts), but it's not suitable at all for carving fine flower petals. Also, you should always seal your jewelry! Otherwise, you risk your body heat, combined with moisture, eventually ruining the durability of your air-dry clay creation . That would be a shame!
Have fun creating your own Daisy Ring from resin clay! ♡
