Cuff Links
I’ve been mixing a lot of resin lately (making more cabochons for these thumb tacks), and thought I’d share a resin project I made for my wedding. I also love any excuse to look at/share our fantastic wedding pictures from Life As Art Photography The Minnericks.

I’d never done anything with resin before, but Eddie and I decided a fun gift for the groomsmen and our fathers would be personalized cuff links. We also ended up making sets for our officiant and Eddie 
Supplies:
- cuff link blanks* (like these)
- craft resin (can be found at hobby lobby)
- clip art of choice
- cardstock
First, I found/made some clip art for each of the guys. Maps for my dad who loves traveling, a plane silhouette the best man who is in training to become a fighter pilot, our wedding symbol of two penguins for Eddie, etc.

I then printed these off on white cardstock and trimmed them to size for the cufflinks. I set them inside, poured in resin, and let dry in a frame I made out of a cardboard box to hold them level. After playing with resin more, I would suggest coating your image with mod podge or (clear drying!) elmer’s glue before adding resin- mine were mostly fine, but a couple had problems due to resin seeping under the cardstock.

And, for good measure, another couple of wedding pictures because I love them
