Valentine’s Day DIY Gift Directions in 5 Easy Steps
Step 1: Prepare Your Molds and Resin Mixtures
Make sure your molds are dust-free. Mix one ounce of resin because a little goes a long way. I separated the resin batch into three cups. In the first cup, I added chunky pink glitter. In the second cup, I added fine red glitter. In the third cup, I added gold microbeads.
Step 2: Pour Resin into Molds
Slowly pour the resin mixtures into the heart molds. Use a toothpick to guide the resin into tight areas, if that is a problem. Use a lighter to pop any bubbles.
Let this layer cure for a minimum of 12 hours.
Step 3: Add the Decorative Layers
Once the pieces have cured, pop them out of the molds and have them sitting on your workspace with the indented side up.
Mix a small amount of resin with heart glitter and carefully drip it into the recessed areas of the hearts. Other options are fine pink glitter or microbeads, depending on your design. Use a skewer stick or toothpick to spread the resin to the edges.
Step 4: Cure Completely
Pop bubbles with your lighter. Allow the resin to cure for another 12 hours or until fully hardened.
Step 5: Add Eye Screws and Finishing Touches
Once cured, remove the charms from the molds. Drill small holes into the tops of the hearts and screw in the eye screws. Attach chains, ribbons, or cords to transform the heart charms into necklaces.
Another option is to attach them to keychains for a versatile Valentine’s Day DIY gift!
