Quilling in Resin

I can't take my eyes off this stylish bracelet that Laura, the Nashville owner of Etsy shop, handyarts, created by coating rolled paper with jeweler's grade resin. [edit: the shop has closed]


She used the same colors for each of the discs, but the circular designs vary - this adds such nice interest. The rounded bubbles of resin offer great protection for the paper (if you worry about that sort of thing), but mainly I like the glossy shine!

Laura tells me she's in the process of creating more quilled jewelry, so be sure to keep a watch on her shop in the coming weeks.


By the way, the Faber-Castell art supplies giveaway ends at the end of today. Check back over the weekend to see who won!

  2. I'm constantly amazed by the paper creations you & your fellow-quillers come up with! Bracelets like this would make really special bridesmaids' gifts.

  10. gorgeous! I've also been wondering about combining resin with paper quilled jewelry. I have no experience with resin, though, so have put that on the back burner. I love the colors she chose for the bracelet! I haven't made any bracelets with my paper quilled jewelry since I wasn't sure they'd hold up so well, as bracelets get banged around a lot more than earrings and pendants. This is the way to do it!
