Well, if you are thinking of creating something which is high in fun and creativity at the same time then opting into resin crafts is perfect endeavour for you! Resin is a liquid type of plastic, and the cool thing about it is you can mold it in to so many different things. Resin makes wonderful jewelry (my favorite), keychains, coasters or even beautiful objects in your home. So now, let us get into some of the useful resin crafts you can benefit from and enjoy making them too.
Setting up your work spaceWhen you are ready to start working on creating with resin it is vitally important the way you set-up your craft area. Enter a flat, clean work area. Always wear gloves to keep your hands safe, protective glasses for the eyes safety and a mask in order not breathe fumes. Resin is a bit much for me, so I recommend using an easy-to-clean work surface like plastic or newspaper. Dusting the trim will make it easier to clean up when the project is completed.
Very important: Measuring - when you mix resin and hardner together. To get the appropriate quantities of resin and hardener, you will have to follow instructions provided on the package. Your project might not fit together as snug, run properly or even be ruined if you do not measure out your plans correctly. Be patient and measure twice, cut once!
