DIY:

Ear Hook: I would recommend making the ear hook with a strong piece of wire if possible. If you do, make sure the ends are smooth. You'll also need strong glue to attach 5 small rings to the wire for the jump rings and charms to attach to.

Making Resin Charms: If you're new to resin craft, have a look at videos on YouTube. Try searching for things like silicone mould, how to make silicone moulds, casting in resin - things like that.

Here's a simplified set of notes to give you an idea of the process:

1. Finish the raw print. Start with priming and sanding the raw print. Priming with an automotive car primer is the best for this process because it can be sanded (primers I've gotten from the craft store have peeled when I sanded them.) The amount of priming/sanding will depend on the print quality and how smooth/shiny you want your resin casts to be. Wet-and-dry sand for that super-smooth finish. If your master is shiny-smooth, the casts should also come out that way (though it's not the end of the world if they're not, I've seen people add resin glazes to their pieces.)

2. Making the mould. When making moulds, you'll want something like Oomoo's silicone mould-making rubber, and something to act aswalls for the mould - many people use foam board and hot glue, some people use lego. You'll also need a base for the master and the walls to sit on. Some people use wide tape for this, it works well for smaller pieces because it keeps the master in place without having to use any glue - but this can leave a sticky residue on the silicone. It hasn't affected the quality of my moulds and casts, though.

3. Resin casts. Once you have your mould, you'll need resin. Clear resin with an iridescent cellophane backing if you want to achieve the iridescent-acrylic look.
