How To Make A Resin Clownfish Pendant

Step 2 Materials Needed

There are certainly a lot of materials involved in making resin jewelry from scratch. But they can all be used for more than just this project, and you probably have some of them already.

Materials:
Clear Casting Resin- What the pendant will be cast in!
Casting Resin Catalyst- Required to harden the resin. Usually sold separately.
Two-Part Silicone Rubber- This will be what the mold is made out of.
Polymer Clay- Our pendant to be molded will made out of this, and also the fish. It can be any type of hardening clay you want.
Rubbing & Polishing Compound- These will be used to polish the pendant. Zougeebean on Etsy (who has some excellent resin pieces) recommends Meguiar's brand car polish for this, but I already had this 3M Marine polish and rubbing compound. 
Paints- For painting the fish!
Foam-board- This is for making the mold box in step four.

Tools:
Sandpaper- Low grit all the way to as high as you can get!
Polishing Cloth- I used a piece of an old t-shirt.
Exacto or Box Cutting Knife- For cutting the foam-board.
Glue Gun- Nothing special here.
Dremel- (optional) This was for smoothing out the pendant hole.
