How to make

* Super Strong Glue
* Cocktail Sticks
* Nitrile Gloves
Take equal parts of the moulding paste. If you are new to the moulding paste, it is better to work with smaller quantities to begin with to build your confidence as, once mixed, you have around 5 minutes before the mould will set.
Roll in your hands until the colours have mixed together and you have a light blue ball of moulding paste.
Press down onto the surface and spread the paste to about 2cm thick.
Using the hair clip back you can create a rectangle that is slightly larger than the clip, be sure not to waste any of the paste so imprint as many shapes and accessories as you can.
We have also created an earring mould by repeating the same process with another ball of the paste.
Now mix your resin with water as per the instructions.
Make sure you mix the resin well before pouring in the moulds.
Now add your gold flecks into the moulds. Use a cocktail stick to mix and move the flecks.
Leave for 24 hours to harden before gluing the earring backs and clips to your resin makes
