Description
Copper Shavings is an eco friendly and plastic-free addition to any resin jewellery. Simply mix a little into your resin (UV or epoxy) or place in the mould before or adding the resin. If you’re adding the Copper Shavings first, please make sure you recoat the piece or do a thin clear layer of resin first so that the pieces don’t come through the resin of the finished piece. Please be careful as they are very sharp!!!
It can be picked up with a cocktail stick or tweezers.
Please read our full Terms and Conditions and FAQ page before ordering.
Using Copper Shavings
Copper Shavings comes loose as a 5ml refill in a small cellophane bag (not plastic). Measurements are approximate but this size container will last most resin artists creating memorial and breastmilk jewellery years! A little goes a very long way if you are careful. Please note that this is 5ml by loose, unpacked volume, not weight.
Simply premix with resin then pour this into your mould, or push it into a mould already filled with resin. You can apply to the mould but it’s best to add a thin layer of resin first, or coat the piece after making to protect the leaf. You can also add your clients’ elements or inclusions like breastmilk, lock of hair, umbilical cord and placenta or cremation ashes. Then cure in the usual way.
This video I made shows you how to make a cremation ashes heart necklace with fairy pink resin sparkle mix and gold-filled leaf.
If working with UV resin we recommend you work in layers to achieve beautiful depths of colour.
