{Tutorial} -- How to Make a Sprinkles Filled Ring

Tuesday, February 26, 2013



Since posting my daughter's Rainbow Sprinkles Birthday Party, I have received several requests for the instructions on how to make the Sprinkles Rings.  It's a simple craft to make, as long as you have the correct materials.  It's a great party favor for a Sprinkles Themed Party beacuse the materials were not very expensive and it's a fun piece of jewelry that all ages can enjoy. 



What you'll need:

Ice Resin (two-party epoxy)
Ring Bezel Post
Rainbow Sprinkles
Styrofoam cup or block
Plastic spoon and knife

 
{This is the Ice Resin product I used.  I bought it at Hobby Lobby, but if you search it online, you should be able to find an online retailer that also sells it.  I also purchased the bezel ring posts at Hobby Lobby. I purchased adjustable rings that had a round bezel about the size of a dime.}

Instructions:

1. Push bottom of ring, bezel side up, into the bottom of a Styrofoam cup or Styrofoam block to keep the ring level.

 
 
2. Scoop rainbow sprinkles into bezel, filling almost to the top edge of the bezel. 

3. Squeeze a small amount of the two-part Ice Resin into the bottom of another cup or on a paper plate.  Stir two parts, as directed on package.

4.  Using a plastic spoon, spoon a small amount of resin over sprinkles to cover all of sprinkles. 

5.  After a few minutes, run the edge of a plastic knife along the bottom edge of the ring to remove resin that might have spilled over. 

6.  After a couple of hours, the resin will begin to harden slightly.  Carefully remove the rings and wipe any remaining resin off the post with a wet paper towel.  Then, place the rings back onto the bottom of the Styrofoam cup.  Let resin dry overnight.

Ingenious! The resin doesn't affect the sprinkles in any way? I guess non-edible fillings (like mini sequins or tiny plastic flowers or butterflies) would work just fine, right?

Lissa, The resin didn't affect the sprinkles at all when I did mine. Yes, any mini items, like beads or sequins would work. I just saw similar earrings made with glitter online. I may have to try the glitter rings for myself ;)
