Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cover your work surface with a drop cloth or newspaper to catch any spills.
  • Gather all materials within reach for easy access.

Mix Your Ingredients

  • Using measuring cups, pour the required amount of resin into your stirring container.
  • Mix in glitter or mica powder, starting with a small amount. Stir well until evenly distributed.
  • Use a mixing stick to ensure the color is fully blended into the resin.

Pour into Mold

  • Wipe the mold’s inside surface with rubbing alcohol for a clean finish.
  • Slowly pour the resin mixture into the heart-shaped mold, filling it about halfway.
  • If desired, add small beads, flowers, or charms into the liquid resin for added dimension.

Cure the Ornament

  • Allow the ornament to cure according to the resin manufacturer's instructions (usually 24 to 48 hours).
  • Once cured, gently pull the ornament out of the mold, taking care not to bend the shape.
