"Color Me Happy" Candy filled rings / bits & bobs

Need a little sunshine?
Make these colorful & fun candy jewels.


Wear 'em to make you smile.



HERE is another walk through of these steps.









Turn them into rings, necklaces, hair pins, badges, you name it.










Here 's how:

supplies list
 envirotex lite or epoxy resin
bowl & spoon
surface area to work on that won't be ruined if damaged
(I used a canvas)
candy sprinkles or balls
jewelry hardware (rings,bails,hairpins)
E6000 super glue or other











Grab a throw-away bowl
(or label it for NO food use)
and mix the Envirotex Lite:

equal parts
mix
Envirotex Lite can be found at craft shops and HERE on Amazon.



























To be safe, don't touch for 24 hrs.



























































Happy Creating!

  3. Thanks for your comment Natalie! :) I saw the movie Eat Pray Love recently with Julia Roberts...loved it! It's one movie I think I could actually OWN! (never see the point as i don't usually want to watch a movie more than once)..and i'm sure the book would be even better. My husband and I are planning an extended trip to Italy in 2012, when all my babes have 'flown the coop'..sigh :(...so all things Italian are proving quite attractive these days!!
    Thanks for your lovely msg :)
    blessings!
