Items used
Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Resin
Small eye screws
1" hole punch
Satin Ribbon
Satin Cord (2mm & 1mm)
Feather or Eyelash yarn
Key-chains
Glue-gun
Resin "Buttons" used for making magnets, buttons, and charms.
I bought some Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Resin off amazon after seeing this DIY post of making Resin pins. I printed out 1" circles from my printer and used a hole punch to get nice little circles of differing pictures.
Women - Crochet lei
I made a lot of the leis using the Easy Spiral Crochet Lei pattern using 2mm Satin cord. I got a large lot off of Ebay for a very good price, so i was able to make all different colors. I would wrap around a single strand of the either the satin cord, eyelash yarn or feather yarn to make it a bit nicer.
Satin Flowers for Crochet Lei
I used Nbeads Satin Ribbon Flower tutorial but just did one flower instead of 2. After making the flower I would use a glue-gun to put a button on the middle of the flower and then a pin on the back.
Men - Key-chain
I also got some small eye screws to make charms and key-chains. I would glue both sides together with the eye screw glued in between, then resin 1 side, let dry, and resin the other side. If the eye screw seemed a bit loose, I'd do another coat of just the edges so it wouldn't fall out. Add a key-chain and it was done!
Kids - Bracelet with Charm
I used the same lei pattern but with a thinner cord to make the bracelets. Made a adjustable sliding knot at the end and then added the Resin Charms.
That was everything! Not sure if everyone liked their gifts, but it was fun learning different crafts and how to make Crochet Leis!
