I live in the UK where's a good place to get resin ? Not many craft shops sell it which is a bummer :/

I bought a resin kit with everything i could possibly need to start making resin rings and bracelets etc. But I have no idea how to do it the right way. I've watched hours of videos and done tons of research but I still can't figure it out and honestly I do not have the time...

I am confused with the type of elastic thread I should use for a bead bracelet with using the number 11 chez seed bead? And then would I pull it taught like using the other normal thread. I use a nymo D, and then would I use the same thread for the sewing thread. Or could...

I went to Michaels and A.C. Moore and neither had them. does any one know where I can find them for a good price. I'm just looking for a simple adjustable ring with a flat base.

Hey guys; does anyone know where i can get microbeads- you know, the teensy tiny metallic balls that look like sprinkles? I saw them online Martha stewart brand but they are so expensive! Does anyone have them maybe or know where they are? thanks

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knew of a good online supplier of resin for jewelry making in the U.K. The only ones i can find are in the U.S. and the postage is huge! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Momo

I know its still early in year to be planning for Christmas but I wonder if any of you can help. I am looking for patterns to make bauble nets or drapes from seed beads. I have in the past made a very basic net pattern but would like to be a bit fancy this time. Samantha x

So, I need to raise a lot of money for something, and I thought it would be a great idea to open a shop to sell my crafts (I've been wanting to do this for a while, anyway) to raise money. I'd probably use a site similar to Etsy, but that doesn't take a cut of the pay, and I...

So I bought my casting resin and the catalyst to make resin charms, but I'm still not sure how to do what I want. - can I use molds I have in my house? - does it have to be an accurate measurement? -where should I go to do this? - what should I use? *Please Help*

so my friend and i are trying to raise money for a "zinester field trip" (just me, my friend, and 3 other boys). We had it all figured out, like how much we'd need for food, motel rooms, gas, and to spend, and we've got it all organized but...we lost a lot of zine money. So...
