      Hi- I have large crocheted earrings that nothing will stiffen sufficiently. I want to try resin. I do not want to “encase” the crochet in resin, i just want to stiffen it. I do not want the holes to fill up and I want the cotton to stay as close as possible to its original texture. I want them as close to the way they look before adding resin as possible and to be 100% stiff and flat. What kind of resin should i use and is there a way I can thin it with so it absorbs into the cotton as much as possible? Thanks!

      Hi Katherine,

      I’m afraid resin isn’t what I would use for a project like this. It’s going to fill up the holes of your crochet and it’s going to make your fabric look wet.

      Sorry to press the point but we are so desperate to find a solution- so there is no way to thin the resin so it soaks into the fibers more and apply with a brush? Or it absolutely will not stiffen if thinned? Thanks so much for your time.
