Resin Fishbowl Necklace

I’m still new to resin crafting but I’m absolutely loving playing around with it. When I saw the aquarium flatbacks in the latest BGM Box, I knew I wanted to make something for my daughter–she’s aquatic crazy. Using resin to create a bit of a fishbowl look was an obvious choice to me. I love how this resin fishbowl necklace turned out. It’s a great beginner project for resin crafting and is super cute in its own right. And yes, I know it doesn’t look exactly like a fishbowl, but I still love it!

Supplies:

BGM Box Sun & Surf (aquarium flatbacks and elegant seashell sequins)
UV resin
white glitter (similar)
tweezers
silicone mat
silicone pendant mold
UV resin light
necklace chain
jump ring
jewelry pliers
silicone mixing cup and stir stick

Instructions:

Mix resin and glitter together in the mixing cup.

Carefully pour a layer of resin into the mold. You don’t want it too thick because there will be another layer on top. I never get the amount right on the first try so I had to mix a bit more.

Place the fish flatback in the center (don’t push it down). Cure the resin under the UV light for 120 seconds.

Place the sequins around the fish.

Once you have the sequins the way you want them, carefully pour clear resin on top. I started directly on the fish and let it run down from there. I deliberately wanted a bit of a bubbled look. Place the mold back under the UV light for another 120 seconds. I always turn the mold over and run the light again, just to make sure both sides are completely solid.
