When the holiday season rolls in, it's not just about decking the halls, it’s also the perfect excuse to get a little crafty. One of the most festive and fun ways to channel your inner artist? Creating holiday-themed DIY resin earrings.
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just diving into the world of resin art, making your own earrings is a joyful way to add sparkle to your holiday wardrobe, give heartfelt handmade gifts, or even start a side hustle at craft fairs or online.
Let’s explore how you can create your own dazzling resin earrings this season, with a little help from Jewelry Made by Me.
Why Resin Earrings Are the Perfect Holiday DIY
Resin earrings are having a serious moment, and for good reason. They’re trendy, lightweight, totally customizable, and let’s not forget, absolutely eye-catching.
During the holidays, they become even more magical. Imagine rocking a pair of glittery snowflake studs at your office party, or gifting your BFF custom tree-shaped danglers. DIY resin earrings add a personal touch that store-bought accessories just can’t match.
Plus, they’re easy to make at home, especially with a well-stocked kit like the ones from Jewelry Made by Me.
What You Need to Get Started
To make holiday-themed resin earrings, here’s what you’ll typically need:
-
UV or Epoxy Resin: Jewelry Made by Me offers both options, UV resin cures quickly under a lamp, while epoxy resin air-cures over time.
-
Holiday Molds: Think snowflakes, ornaments, trees, gingerbread men, stars, menorahs, hearts for Valentine’s Day, etc.
-
Pigments & Glitters: Reds, greens, silvers, blues, and golds for the holidays; maybe even some glow-in-the-dark powder.
-
Mixing Tools: Cups, stirrers, tweezers.
-
Embellishments: Mini charms, beads, foils, or stickers.
-
Earring Findings: Hooks, posts, jump rings.
-
Protective Gear: Gloves, table cover, and good ventilation if using epoxy.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Holiday Resin Earrings
Making your own earrings may sound intimidating, but it’s actually super straightforward, especially with a kit.
1. Set Up Your Workspace
Cover your area, grab your tools, and get ready to create.
2. Choose Your Mold & Add Pigments
Pour resin into a mixing cup, then mix in your favorite pigment or glitter. For a winter vibe, try icy blues, white shimmer, or holographic flakes.
3. Add Embellishments
Place tiny snowflakes, holly leaves, or other festive bits into the mold first, then pour resin on top.
4. Cure the Resin
If you're using UV resin, cure under a UV lamp for a few minutes. For epoxy, let it set for 24–48 hours depending on your formula.
5. Pop & Polish
Remove from the mold and sand any rough edges. Add a layer of resin on top for a glossy finish if needed.
6. Attach Earring Findings
Use jewelry pliers to add hooks, posts, or studs.
Boom, you’ve just made custom holiday earrings!
