HOW TO - Make a Green Lantern ring- glowing version

Here's how to make your own resin cast Green Lantern ring.This a complete overhaul of my original instructable on how to make a Green Lantern ring, which previously only showed how a cast sterling silver ring is created. Since many people don't have access to silver casting equipment I decided to show how to cast a ring in resin and also how to make a translucent resin version that glows. I'm still showing how a silver ring is made for those that are interested in the process and have access to the necessary equipment.

Please note that I cannot sell these- bummer! :(

Now go make your ring and repeat after me:
"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power.. Green Lantern's light!"

VERY nice effect and all, but IMO, not worth all the effort. there has GOT to be somewhere you can just buy green lantern rings.

You *could* make glowing resin rings in various colors without infringing on licensed products.

It is good that you are promoting the Emerald Crusaders without defrauding those who brought them into being.

The boys at Oa would be proud.
