Here are some pictures of my creations, I hope you like them and if you have questions about the steps I taught you, let me know.

Final step

Imagen
Finally, we just have to wait for our jewels to dry completely to remove the tape and put chains of the length and colors that we like. (These photos are for reference).

Step three

Imagen
Now  we place our pressed flowers in the first layer of resin with the help of the toothpicks.  We have to be extremely careful when positioning the flowers, especially if they are very thin and delicate. So insert the flowers in your desired arrangement. This is my absolute favorite part of the process because we can let our creativity run wild here. After this, we add another layer of our mixture and let dry for 24 hours. We can let dry in the sun or in a place far from people.

Step two

Imagen
We cut a piece of sturdy packing tape or UV tape and carefully stick it onto one side of the open bezel pendant.  We must make sure that the tape is secure and that there are no gaps between it and that side of the bezel. Then we carefully pour the mixture from step one into the open bezels to obtain a thin layer.

Step one

Imagen
With a stir stick we mix  slowly the two resin parts: A and B (resin and hardener) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Normally the ratio is A2: B1. We will use a scale to measure grams. Here is necessary to use surgical mask to protect us. We let the mixture rest for a couple of minutes under a lamp. Bubbles can rise and can be moved to the side of the cup and "popped" with a toothpick.
