Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Resin charms are a popular form of jewelry. Since they are made of plastic, they have the potential to snap. When this happens, they are usually considered trash, so we wanted to provide a guide that will help people extend the life span of this type of jewelry. Working with resin may even lead the viewer to start creating their own jewelry!
