- Hi all 😊.....
This is a tutorial giving advice and tips on how to make some jewellery items using resin cabochons. The Vernier Caliper measuring tool will help a lot, you can then search Amazon or other sites with the measurements for the blank jewellery.
I have had many requests for this so I hope it helps those who have asked 😊
A huge thank you to those who have bought me a coffee since my last video, there is a thank you post on the community tab.
You can now buy me a coffee if you feel the tutorials are helping 😊 ☕

Hi Daniel - I'm not sure if it has been mentioned but at the end of your Digital Caliper, the shaft that protrudes out is a depth measurer. A little bit of useful info if needed.
Thanks Paul 😊😊
Thank you. You answered a lot of questions. I love the links you put in also.
Nice one Daniel! Thanks for sharing this information. ❤
This video has really answered many questions on what I need to buy and how to make jewelry. Feel like a should pay you some kind of commission. But can only buy you a coffee occasionally. If I do become rich. . .
Thanks Terri 😀 and thanks for the support 🥰
Little did you know how much of a God in the resin world you would become LOL your words are literally" Pearls"of Wisdom😊😊😊
🥰 thank you so much
Beautiful I love them
Hi Daniel! Great video. I just started following your videos so I am a little behind. I love your techniques. I'm part Native American so I am learning to make attractive cabs to enhance my beading. These will make an excellent centerpiece for my buffalo bone hair pipe chokers. You have a knack for teaching dude! You explain everything and show it. I should have all my supplies by Tuesday and hopefully be able to try some of these awesome techniques.
Awesome! Thank you! :) Welcome to my channel :)
That's a really sexy caliper, Coopy! Thanx for this tute!
😂🤣
Thanks Daniel.👍😊
Very welcome 😀
I have learned so much from you. Happy New YearThanks!
Wow, thanks so much for the Super Thanks Karen 🥰 Happy New Year's 🥰🥰🥰
Very good! I have a tiny hand drill, but had no idea about the calipers. I did find them on US Amazon for about 10 bucls. A great deal! And I've never seen anyone demonstrate how to use these tools before, so very helpful indeed. I feel lucky to have found you!
Thank you Pam 😊. They are very handy for lots of things, very precise.
Always a great video! I learn so much from them!
😊😊😊🥰
Helpful ♥️

So fun to watch!😍
Thanks Trish 😊
Great info Daniel. Thoroughly enjoyed❤
Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot for sharing! Really helpful.
You're welcome 😊
Hi Daniel, I love watching and learning from your tutorials. Im just starting out with resin and loving it thanks to you!
I have the same mold and would like to know what size punch bails to use for the smaller earrings and the larger oval ones and such and how can i figure it out on my own? Thank for all your help. By the way, i love your new studio! Kudos to you with your success!!!
Thanks Darleen, I would suggest getting a mixed size set as they will be handy for the other sizes too 😊
Thanks a million. So well done.
You the best💞🙏☮
Thank you Doris 😊

Isn't it just 😊. Thank you Melissa 😊
Whoa 🤯 they are mind blowing gorgeous.💕👋
Thank you Petra 😊
Hermoso trabajo! ✨💕
Muchísimas gracias
E6000 glue seems to work very well too 😊 No mixing and straight from the tube.
Yes, have been using and recommending E6000 in my recent videos, it's so much easier to use 😊
Great info Tks Daniel, I might give jewellery a go now
You're welcome Pam 😊
Hi Daniel! Thank you 🥰
You're welcome Tanja 😊
So glad you did this - loved the video Sir Daniel. Stay Creative - Sharan
😊 thanks Sharan 😊
Even when we already know how we still watch to help support fellow creators! No matter how much you already know you may learn something new or a new better way!
Thanks 😊 Very true 😊😊
Very informative. I use a cordless drill since I never figured out how the hand one works. Lol thank you.
Glad it helped 😊😊😊
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! I have one of these little drills that I haven't used yet. Nice to see it in action!! Just found you so you have a new subscriber!!!!!😁
Woohoo, thank you 😊🙏
@@daniel..cooper You're so welcome, so glad I found you!!!!
Thanks, Daniel, I got it ordered. I have tried the technique. Not as great as yours but I use UV resin, but I am still happy with it.
Thanks for the tip about drilling from the back of the piece. It looks like it works a lot easier than from the front. I have trouble with those little hand drills. I can never get the small bits in and when I try the larger size it never stays in. I bought a Dremel and it works a lot better for me and quicker too. I love all the pieces that you made. They're all really beautiful!
Thanks Lisa 😊
I tried to send you a PayPal donation but having trouble. Gonna check again after work.
Thank you for such prompt replies, wonderful inspiration and excellent tutorials 🌹.
Been encouraging you from the beginning! I knew you’d be successful 🤗. Deb
Thanks Deb 😊😊😊😊😊x
Excellent...my GF is Mastering Jewelry, that's how she makes most of her $$
Awesome! 😊. Hope it helped 😊
Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. You have helped so many people learn how to make beautiful pieces. ❤
You're welcome Tammy 😊 It's great seeing everyone's results 😀
@@daniel..cooper May I asked what size bezel you used for the round piece? They are all so beautiful!
25mm, links are in the description 😊
@@daniel..cooper Oops! Sorry! Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
Thanks so much for the tutorial, Daniel. Great to see your channel doing do well 💜
Thanks Karen 😊🙏. You're welcome 😊
Thank you for this very informative tutorial! Love your work 💖
You're welcome. Thank you 😊
Looks Amazing. Thanks for the tips and tricks. The caliper is a great idea 💡. I have found premixed Resin from Let's Resin and a small led lamp works and there is no measuring! 😊 Keep it 👆
Thanks Jennifer, will certainly try it 😀
This is very helpful! Thank you for showing this💖
You're welcome Jessica 😊
Thank you so much for this Daniel ☺️ Beautiful ❤️
You're welcome 😊
Great information Daniel.
Top tips and tricks..love how you've told us about all the tools you use...bloody well done.
😊 Thanks Rhea 😊
Have you ever tried GAC as a glue instead of the epoxy? A common brand is Ranger Ink. It dries absolutely crystal clear [in fact even has a magnifying effect as a clear drop]. I've found it to be the strongest adhesive in an extremely easy to use format.
Oh, no i havent yet, thanks for the tip :)
Здравствуйте. Красивые украшения, спасибо за видео.
Спасибо 😊 Пожалуйста
I don't know if you have a craft store like Michaels or hobby lobby where you live in the UK I don't know if those are strictly American stores or not but if you do and you go into the jewelry making section they have UV resin right there but also they have resin for doming jewelry and it comes in something like that but it comes out clear because I've used the gorilla glue epoxy resin and it has a terrible smell and it never seems to cure clear for me but that might just be me I might be doing it wrong but yeah I got some of the doming resin from hobby lobby and it always comes out clear and it always looks good and I use it sometimes to do what you're doing in this video putting two pieces together
Thank you for another brilliant tutorial Daniel. You're very good at this CZcams stuff! 😁 You explain things very well & your videos are really well filmed.
Thanks Jane 😊🙏
when I use glue on bails I put a thin layer of resin on the back to secure the bail or ear post
Thank you 😊
EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you 😊 ❤ Are you still using the 5 minute epoxy or just using the E-600 now
E6000 is the best 😊😊
I've got one of those drill things and did not have a clue how to use, thank you so much Daniel v v helpful.
Yay, you are welcome 😊 they are so much better than an electric drill, less nerve racking 😂
Hi, i just found your Chanel and love it. May i ask what size it is on the drill you are using?
Thank you, I honestly couldn't remember 🙈 sorry
I’m sure you can get a gun for the gorilla glue great video as always
I have moved on from that glue now, E600+ is the best 🥰
Do you have any recommendations for leather wristbands for men, that would work with cabochon made pendants? Been searching online but not quite finding it. Thank you for all your videos, I continue to learn a lot from you and have recommended your CZcams channel to friends interested in resin making ❤️
Hi Carolyn, it's a struggle finding mens leather straps, especially ones large enough for a man's wrist, at the moment, sadly I have no recommendations but will continue my search also.
Please could you tell me what the wattage on a uv lamp should be for uv resin as I’m having real difficulty when trying to cure? I know this has nothing to do with this tutorial but as I am binge watching your vids, I’m getting random questions just floating to the front and if I don’t ask them right away I’m sure to forget. That’s what a stroke does for you, but still crafting, that will never stop. Kind regards. From Yorkshire x
Hi Sarah, I now mainly use a lamp from Let's Resin but I can't find the wattage anywhere, it works perfectly for me though.
LOL! I thought you found someway to put the heart IN the resin! Instead it was a happy accident!
Haha, yes, has happened a few time now 😊
Great information. Can you use the gorilla glue instead of the gorilla epoxy glue?
Worth a try 😊 it is a strong glue 😊😊
Hi have you found a cabochon tray for the large heart ? If so will you please share the link ? Thank you !
Do you think you could do the American versions of the Amazon links for all the supplies? It would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Carla, I will certainly look into this 😊
Is an older video but when I have hearts that I want to make jewelry or keychains out of instead of going through the back to the front I will actually go in between where the heart makes the arches you know where the arches meet in the middle of the heart I go right in between there but when making like a bracelet or you know something like that you can go through back to front or even side to side but yeah if you want to try and make it so the earrings are facing you know downward without having to put a jump ring through the actual heart if you get those little screw in eyelets you take a one of your drill bits that's a little bit smaller to start it just to start the whole that way you can actually just take the screw in eyelet and screw it in the rest of the way that's how I've done it with earrings and keychains but that's just me I just thought I'd throw it out there as a tip to maybe help you out you know put the jump ring or the eyelet in the hearts cuz the hearts can be a bit hard to deal with
Tommy Cooper, wow thats a long time ago:) lovely tut as always:)
Thanks Lucy 😊
Thank you Daniel this is very helpful but how do you measure the pinch bail part that goes into the piece? Or do you just go by the outer measurements of the resin pieces? And what is the name of the tool that you used to measure with?
Hi Debbie, pinch bails are measured top to bottom including the eye I cut off. In the description are links, I have added a link with various size bails 😊. The device is a Vernier Caliper, I have also added a link for those too 😊
You mentioned you had a glue on bail come off. We're you gluing them on or securing with resin? I always worry about that too
I was gluing them on sadly.
NEW SUBBY EARNED.🎉
Thanks for subbing! 😊😊
Thank you for this Daniel, I've been using a dremel type drill, and its so messy. I've now purchased the little drill from Amazon :)
They can be scary! I started with a similar drill and messed up on a couple of bits 😔
@@daniel..cooper Me too! lol, I have a wee drill that came with a set, but its not sharp enough. I'm looking forward to getting my new tool tomorrow now.
This is the bit I don't like doing! I have tons of resin pieces but can't be bothered to make them in to anything.
They look great once given a purpose 😊
Thats great Daniel ! May I ask, what size bail is it you use for the heart earrings, and have you ever tried bonding the cabochons with ordinary resin (takes a while to set...) and is it weaker than using the epoxy that you use ?
14mm 😊. No, I haven't tried with regular resin yet, I may try as can work 40mins with mine.
@@daniel..cooper you said you used 14mm bail but in the link you gave they are not that size
is it the whole length that is 14mm
@@suemilmore3143 yes 😊
I like to have one of those little drills but I don’t see where to get one.
Hi Kay, I put a link in my description 😊😊
Hi! Where did you get the locket for this cabochons?
Mainly amazon, links are in the description 😊
I believe I asked already, but not sure, where do I get the little drill?
The link is in the video description 😊
This may have already been asked, but how do you smooth out the back resin? Just sanding and that's it? I'm using the same mold you are. Afraid to mess up the front.
Hi, you can top up the piece before demoulding, that's probably the best way but make sure you don't demould it 1st 😊. Some I just sand down if not too bad.
@@daniel..cooper When you say top up do you mean another level of resin?
@@Sevy717 yes, just enough to level the back flat 😊
How long do you let the piece cure before drilling?
It's full cure time 😊
I have this mold but the hearts do not fit the findings I got, any suggestions on where to get them from that fit this mold?
Hope that makes sense
Hi Lindsey, yes, I had the same issue and struggling with those findings myself. If I find some, I will let you know 😊😊
@@daniel..cooper that would be great, thanks! I only started having a go with resin a week ago and I’m already addicted lol, got your videos lined up to watch so I can learn some new techniques 👍🏼
What do you think about using up resin to set?
It can be done, I just haven't tried yet. Would probably be easier as some resins have a 40min work time.
Sorry meant to type uv*
I haven't tried uv resin yet, it's on my list 😊
Question: I bought somethings silver 925 but I'm not sure if that is real or not. When you buy those do you recieved some guaranty it is silver 925??
I check the reviews 1st, if in doubt, take it to your local jewellers or you can buy a testing kit. It is scary!
Thanks
Where can I buy that mold ?
All links are in the description box :)
Y lo intento y lo intento y no me sale .
