Begin by making a cylindrical mold - I used a faux cork for mine, but you could use anything with a cylindrical shape.
Once cured, measure out your Part A and Part B of Clear Cast Resin, mix according to the directions, let sit for a moment to allow bubbles to clear. Pour a small amount of resin into the bottom of your mold. Add a small amount of sprinkles. Continue to do this in layers. Using a popsicle stick, gently move the sprinkles throughout the resin until the mold is full. You may have to add more, as the sprinkles will settle as you go.
Once you are happy with the amount of sprinkles in the resin, allow to cure for 24 hours. De-mold. I sprayed mine with a clear coat because it had a matte finish, but if you made your mold with something 'shiny' it will have a glossy finish to it. It's up to you if you want to spray it or not.
Screw an eyehook into the top of the cylinder and then you can add the key chain or a ball chain to create a necklace! Isn't it fun?!!!
