Sea Maiden Resin Belt Buckle Tutorial
Created by: Toni Plastino
Designer Tips
- To prevent the image from bleeding, seal the front and back with Mod Podge® and let dry. Once dry, glue the image into buckle blank.
- Glue on embellishments such as charms, shells, pearls, and ball chain. When dry, add resin to the buckle.
- Consider brushing on the resin, since the buckle is convex, and has a shallow bezel cup.
- See Tips for Epoxy Resin & Jewelry (PDF).
