Hexie Quilting Necklace DIY | Cottagecore | Sewing Jewelry | How to Fill a Backless Charm with Resin

If you are similarly obsessed with English Paper Piecing and have a compulsion to talk about it with total strangers--be my guest in creating a pendant that will seamlessly (pun unabashedly intended) spark a conversation about said wonderous EPP star--the hexie. An extremely cottagecore pastime, hand sewing is a super relaxing way to pass time during these painfully unending heat waves--as is jewelry making, because let's be honest, resin likes to expel its bubbles in heat. Not to mention--we always need little scrap-busting projects to preserve our favorite pieces of tiny cabbage, amiright?

I must add that there are some safety things to consider while working with resin. These are my cardinal rules for myself. Feel free to be even more cautious:
1) Chemical respirator always - I use this one: amzn.to/3kylqoR
2) Nitrile Gloves - amzn.to/3zaUY8Q
3) Acetone and cotton swabs on hand for quick cleanup of spills and cleaning metal tools - Drug store nail polish remover works fine
4) Wax paper
5) ALWAYS let any extra resin cure in your mixing vessel before disposing and keep curing resin out of the reach of pet and children!
6) I like opening a window for extra air circulation efforts.
7) Comment any questions!
