Materials

  • 1 kit Turquoise resin (or turquoise-colored epoxy) Make sure it is suitable for crafting.
  • 1 mold Silicone heart mold Choose a mold of your preferred size.
  • 2 pieces Mixing cups and stir sticks Used for combining resin and hardener.
  • 1 pair Gloves To protect your hands during mixing.
  • 1 optional Glitter For added sparkle in your design.
  • 1 can Sealer spray To finish the heart.
  • 1 tool Tool for removing bubbles (optional, e.g., a torch) Used to pop air bubbles in the resin.

Instructions
 

Preparing Your Workspace

  • Ensure your work area is clean and well-ventilated.
  • Gather all materials, putting them within easy reach.

Mixing the Resin

  • Put on gloves to protect your hands.
  • Measure out equal parts of resin and hardener (if using a two-part resin).
  • Stir thoroughly until the mixture is clear and free of bubbles, usually around 3-5 minutes.

Adding Color and Effects

  • Add a few drops of turquoise dye until you reach your desired color.
  • Optional: Mix in glitter for a shimmering effect.

Pouring the Mixture

  • Carefully pour the resin mixture into the silicone heart mold.
  • Fill each cavity slowly to avoid trapping air bubbles.

Removing Bubbles

  • If bubbles rise to the surface, use a tool (like a torch) to pop them.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes to allow additional bubbles to escape.

Curing

  • Allow the resin to cure according to the package instructions, typically 24-48 hours.

Demolding

  • Once cured, gently remove the heart from the mold.
  • Sand any rough edges if necessary for a smooth finish.

Sealing the Heart

  • Apply a sealant spray for added shine and protection.

Notes

Customize colors, add textures or shape variations, and experiment with layering for unique designs.
