Resin Pendants, Charms and Pet Tags With Silicone Moulds

Pendant Silicone Mold (D0979) - Haanz Sri Lanka
Haanz Art GuideFree, practical advice from the team at Haanz Art & Craft Materials

A resin pendant is a perfect first jewellery project: one small pour, a bit of colour and a chain or cord, and you have a gift. The same moulds also make charms, bag tags and pet name tags. This Haanz Art Guide covers the pendant and charm moulds we stock and how to finish pendants so they hang neatly.

Pendant silicone moulds

Our pendant moulds are made from flexible silicone, so pieces pop out easily and the moulds can be reused. Check each product’s photos for the exact shapes:

Fun shapes: bones and paws

Pet tags make lovely personalised gifts. Add the pet’s name with letter stickers inside the resin.

Charms and findings

Step by step: a resin pendant

  1. Clean the mould and set it on a level surface.
  2. Mix resin exactly as directed. For pendants, UV resin is handy because it cures quickly in thin layers. See UV Resin for Beginners.
  3. Add colour or inclusions: mica powder, alcohol ink, glitter, foil or tiny dried flowers.
  4. Pour in thin layers if you are adding inclusions, so they sit where you want.
  5. Pop bubbles with a toothpick.
  6. Cure fully, then demould gently by flexing the silicone.
  7. Add the hanger. If the mould has a hole, thread a jump ring through it. If not, drill a small hole near the top or glue on a bail.

Our Resin Jewellery for Beginners guide explains drilling and jump rings in more detail.

Design ideas

  • An ocean pendant with blue resin and a little white “foam”.
  • A birth-flower pendant with a pressed flower inside.
  • A galaxy pendant with dark blue resin, mica and white dots.
  • A pet tag bone with the pet’s name in gold letters.
  • A paw charm in pastel colours with glitter.

Tips for neat pendants

  • Avoid sharp edges. Sand lightly and add a thin top coat for shine.
  • Keep pendants light. Thin pieces hang better and are comfortable to wear.
  • Check the hole position before drilling so the pendant hangs straight.
  • Wear gloves and work in a ventilated room whenever you use resin. See Resin Safety.

Caring for silicone moulds

Silicone moulds last a long time if you look after them:

  • Demould gently by flexing the silicone. Don’t pull pieces out with tools.
  • Wipe moulds clean with a soft cloth or tape to lift dust. Don’t scrub with anything rough, or the shiny finish of future pieces will suffer.
  • Store moulds flat, out of sunlight, and don’t stack heavy things on top, so they keep their shape.
  • Keep a separate set of moulds for resin only. Food and resin should never share moulds.

Frequently asked questions

Epoxy or UV resin for pendants?

Both work. UV resin is faster for small, thin pendants. Epoxy suits deeper moulds and larger batches.

My pendant has a dull side. How do I fix it?

Brush a very thin layer of resin over the dull side and cure it again.
