Personalize key chains using silicone molds and liquid resin.
Liquid resin is formed into a solid for crafting by mixing a catalyst with the resin liquid. Mixing the resin and catalyst together causes a chemical reaction, which heats up and forms glue that is solid once fully cured. You can seal artwork, make jewelry, embed embellishments into molded resin shapes or preserve keepsakes. There are infinite possibilities when making resin creations.
Embedding
Make an intriguing piece of jewelry or paperweight by adding small sentimental objects into your poured resin. These make fascinating conversation pieces in your home or office. Children are intrigued with bugs and spiders implanted inside clear resin. Embedded photos are an ideal keepsake to have sitting on a tabletop.
Creating Jewelry
Jewelry is one of the easiest and most common resin crafts. Add pigments to liquid resin before pouring to make jewelry from a mold. Charms and jewelry findings can be affixed before or after the resin cures. Attach to necklaces, bracelets, earrings to design one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Coating Artwork
Create a high-gloss finish to your artwork projects and paintings by sealing them with liquid resin. Make sure your art is dry before pouring the resin over your beloved piece of work. This will protect your painting and increase resale value. Paint the resin on small creations on with a paintbrush.
Embellishing Bottle Caps
Bottle caps from glass bottles are classic projects made with resin. People of all ages appreciate a personalized trinket they can keep with them at all times. Whether the end result is a necklace, hair bow or magnet, the bottle cap will be filled the same way. Situate your gems, beads or photos inside before pouring the resin into the cap. Add the caps to barrettes, bows, necklaces, key chains or magnets once the resin cures.
