Choose a planar resin with a drilled hole that matches the width of your ribbon (or drill a hole yourself using an electric drill and a small drill bit)  – Check out our AWESOME selection of Planar Resins HERE 2. Thread a jump ring through the hole in the resin and close it securely. 3. Use pliers to open another jump ring and thread it through the first jump ring and through the loop at the end of your lanyard. 4. Close the jump ring securely using pliers. 5.

How to make your own Croc Charms – using Birdie Jean’s Planar Resins – Instructions The key to making sturdy , beautiful croc charms is all about the GLUE that you use!   DIY croc charms using planar resins is a fun and creative way to add some personal flair to your crocs. Planar resins are small, flat shapes that can be molded into any design you can imagine. BirdieJean is a great place to find inexpensive planar resins to use for this project. Check out our full collection HERE. The reason we sugget using planar resins, is because they’re different than the standard types of  pvc chamrs/flatbacks used traditionally, they’re more durable, you can get many more varieties and even different sizes. They’re smooth, they’re acrylic and laser cut. It’s important to choose the right adhesive, because they have to stand up to a lot of wear and tear, and also, when you put them onto the croc when they’re finished, they need to be strong to hold up to the pressure of putting it in the croc hole. There are 4 methods you can use to adhere the planar resin to the croc….. 1. You can glue the planar resins directly to the croc. (make sure you use the RIGHT KIND of adhesive so they don’t fall off… more on that ahead! I suggest either loctite super glue,  or gorilla glue super glue or you can use a UV resin glue that cures hard with a uv light)     2. You can use a croc charm button to adhere them to the croc (make sure you know the correct size you’ll need) Check these out on Amazon Just glue the planar resin to the flat part of the button- the rounded part goes into the hole on the croc.     3. You can use a brooch bar (pin) to attach them to the croc. ( I suggest these from A Cherry On Top) Just glue the planar resin to the back / flat part of the pin back / brooch bar and this way they’re easily removable and you can change up your charms frequently. 4. The most detailed, but most artistic way it to  make your own using epoxy resin and a planar resin. This is the method I prefer, so here are those instructions: To get started, you’ll need to gather some supplies. You’ll need flatback planar resins, a silicone mold, and resin epoxy. First, place the flatback croc charms into the silicone mold.  Next, mix together the epoxy resin according to the instructions on the package. Pour the mixed resin into the mold and let it set for a few minutes. After the resin has set, it’s time to start decorating your charms! This is where the planar resins come in. You can choose from a variety of designs and colors to make your croc charms truly unique. Simply place the planar resins onto the surface of the resin in the mold and press down gently to secure them in place. Let the resin cure completely before removing the charms from the mold. Once your charms are finished, you can attach them to your crocs using hot glue or another adhesive. Voila! You now have personalized croc charms that are sure to turn heads. And all thanks to the affordable planar resins available at birdiejean.com. In conclusion, DIY croc charms using planar resins is a fun and easy way to add some personality to your footwear. With just a few supplies and a little creativity, you can make your own one-of-a-kind croc charms. So head on over to birdiejean.com to stock up on affordable planar resinsand start crafting today!

Should You Sell On Etsy or Your Own Website? Pros and Cons Here’s a handy overview of the pros and cons of selling your crafty products on Etsy or Your Own Website. I personally sell across multiple channels (Etsy, This website, Facebook, Ebay etc) because I think each platform attracts different buyers and I want as much exposure as possible as I’m getting busier and busier. Pros of Selling on Etsy: 1. Established platform with a large audience. 2. Access to built-in marketing tools such as promoted listings. 3. Easy to set up and use interface. 4. Low fees for listing and selling. 5. Integration with external shipping providers. Cons of Selling on Etsy: 1. Limited control over branding and design. 2. High competition among sellers. 3. Strict policies and guidelines. 4. Fees for additional features and services. 5. Lack of customer data and ability to retarget customers. Pros of Having a Stand Alone Website: 1. Complete control over branding and design. 2. Ability to build a unique customer experience. 3. Freedom to set your own prices, fees, and policies. 4. More flexibility in terms of sales and promotions. 5. Valuable customer data and ability to retarget customers. Cons of Having a Stand Alone Website: 1. Requires more effort and resources to set up and maintain. 2. No built-in audience or marketing tools. 3. Limited reach without a strong digital marketing strategy. 4. Additional costs for website hosting, security, and maintenance. 5. Potential for lower trust and credibility among customers compared to established platforms like Etsy. Ultimately, the decision to sell on Etsy or have your own stand alone website depends on your goals, resources, and target audience. Consider the pros and cons carefully, and choose the option that aligns best with your business needs and vision. ————— You’re invited to our sister site’s Facebook group, click here to join or scan this QR code and open the link, and request to join.
