UV resin is a great alternative to epoxy resin, especially for small projects such as jewelry.
Still make sure to use it in a well-ventilated area and keep it off of your skin. Also, keep out of sunlight when working with UV resin because it will cure in sunlight.

First, I peel off the piece of backing tape, and press the bezel onto the sticky side of the tape.
Squeeze a bit of UV resin into the center of the bezel. Use a toothpick to move the resin around the bezel until it completely fills the bottom of the bezel.
If you have a UV lamp use it for 1-2 minutes to cure. Then flip it over and cure the back for another minute.
Now I had to decide how I wanted the pressed flowers to be arranged within the bezel.
Once the flowers are in the desired position, I added more resin on top of the flowers. Again, using the toothpick to distribute the resin all over the top.
Cure for another 2 minutes or so. I suggest letting it sit for a day or so to let it completely cure all the way through. Then you can peel the backing tape off of the back.
And now we’re good to go. You can use a charm like this for a necklace pendant, a pair of earrings, bracelet, keychains and more!
