      Hi, firstly thank you for the detailed explanations of resin jewelry techniques. I would like to have tricks about hair keepsakes. How can i shape the hair in the resin? I want to make letters from hair like “G”, “Y” etc. But the material is too rigid to give folds.

      I’m thinking about gluing with a superglue; but the time for curing of the glue is too short to form the hair.

      Thanks for helping.

      Hi Jasmine,

      Have you seen this article on using pet hair in resin beads? It might give you some ideas: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-tutorials/how-to-make-pet-hair-beads

        You can use a technique similar to the article where you coat the hair with glue, then manipulate it while it is still wet.
