How to add and subtract links:

2. Attach the links in together slightly twisting them so that they click together
3: Slide together and so that  they are connected

will ensure that your chain is strong and wont come apart.

Lego Resin Pendants: Project Inspiration

4 February, 2010
Filed under: shop news — Louise Jensen @ 4:17 pm

Everyone that comes into the store always makes comments about our tray of Lego. Most people when they think of Lego cant possibly believe that it could be used in beading projects. If they can they think of more the classic bricks rather than the small pieces that are available. Some of the flowers and bricks are really more like a resin shape with prints or raised sections: when used in beading its not until the customer really looks at the pieces and see the Lego raised logo do they actually realize what it is.

I made these Lego pendants using our simple resin molds and a 2 part epoxy resin that i sourced from our local hardware store. Unfortunately we cant sell resin due to freight restrictions, but a gloss coat  polyester 2 part resin would work just fine. With resin the main thing that you need to be sure of is the temperature IE. you wouldn’t want to try and set it if the temperature was under 20 degrees, so its best to wait till a semi warm part of the day in an area with well ventilation. You can then layer the Lego into the bottom of the mold and then pour the resin in and around. To add extra or move around Lego pieces you can just use a skewer. Once set you should just be able to pop the resin out of the mold and then glue the bail on.
