Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Cut the fishing line to your desired length, straighten it, and secure it onto a silicone mat using tape.


Step 2
Add green and yellow translucent dyes to clear UV resin and mix well. Use a dropper to place small, pea-sized resin drops evenly along the fishing line.
Tip: Arrange the drops from largest to smallest for a more natural, dynamic look.


Step 3
Cure the resin under a UV light for 30–40 seconds until it becomes semi-cured.


Step 4
Use a brush to apply opal chameleon flakes onto the semi-cured UV resin. After applying the powder, cure them under the UV light for another 2 minutes.


Step 5
Once cured, flip the piece over, add a small drop of clear UV resin to the back, and cure to form a round, bead-like shape.


Step 6
Cure everything under UV light for 2 minutes until fully hardened.


Step 7
Use iron wire to attach the fishing line to the popsicle stick.


Step 8
Insert the popsicle stick into the planter, sprinkle some small stones to secure it, and you're all set! Your sparkling decoration is ready to brighten up your indoor space!


Pro Tip
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent oxidation and fading.
