resin pieces

heyy, a while ago, I tried making some resin charms. I saw a lot of them online and I wanted to make them too, so for my birthday (April 17th) I got a set with resin, hardener, mesuring cups and stirring sticks. But I didn't opened it until a few weeks ago. I posted it on my other blog, but I forgot to post it here, so here it is.

I made six pieces in total, 4 failed completely, 1 failed a little bit and the other is good. It is kind of funny, because the first one turned out best, the second failed a little and the latest failed completely. I will show them here.


This are the first two pieces I made. It looks like they have a huge air bubble on the right, but that is part of the mold. There are some small airbubbles, but for my first two charms, they look pretty good I think. The piece on the right failed a little, because a few days later, I picked it out of the box where I keep them to dry, and one spot at the front hadn't dried completely, so there's a scratch now. The left piece did dry, luckily.


I'm sad, because these pieces look very cute I think. But they wouldn't dry well. The piece is hard, but the top layer is sticky, even after two weeks. I don't know why they failed, but I think something went wrong while mesuring or stirring. I will try making them again when I get back from vacation. Monday I will leave for five days, and than I have one week of vacation left at home, so enough time to craft. When resin pieces turn out better, I will made a tutorial, because I want to show an end result that turned out well in the tutorial.

I hope you like it
