Ready to encapsulate your flowers and sparkles? Here’s what you absolutely need to start creating jewelry and keychains with UV resin!

Essential Materials and Tools:

- Clear UV Resin: Look for the "Hard" type. It’s the one that cures fast and looks like crystal!

- UV/LED Lamp: You need it to cure the resin in minutes. No lamp, no party!

- Silicone Molds: Jewelry molds (teardrop, circle, square) are perfect for starting out.

- Nitrile Gloves: Mandatory! To keep things safe and your hands clean.

- Mask: Always work with good ventilation and a mask. Health first!

For Decorating (The Style!):

- Decorative Elements: What you are going to encapsulate:

- Pressed Flowers (forget-me-nots, baby's breath).

 - Gold / Silver Leaf.

 - Glitter or Flakes.

 - Alcohol Inks (for the galaxy effect).

 - Jewelry Accessories: Hooks, jump rings, and screw eyes to assemble your pieces.

Auxiliary Tools:

- Fine-Point Tweezers: Your best friend for placing flowers, opals, and gold leaf exactly where you want them.

 - Wooden Sticks: Ideal for moving the resin, mixing pigments, and getting out those annoying bubbles.

 - Wet Wipes or Isopropyl Alcohol: To clean up any resin spills.

A Super Tip:

Work in a clean, flat space. Dust is the enemy! Give your mold a quick pass with adhesive tape before starting. Time to create!
