Gummy Bear Resin Charm Craft Tutorial

I had been asked to do some gummy bear crafts and I did the coaster and decided to put one in a charm to see how it would turn out.  

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t love it.  It kind of loses its definition in the resin. It’s not bad, but it’s not great.

• Star mold – I used a silicone ice cube tray:  https://amzn.to/2LG9D81
• A gummy bear:  https://amzn.to/2HitaYc

• Resin
• When deciding on which resin to use for your coasters, you need to keep in mind whether you want it just for cold cups or for hot ones as well.
• If only for cold drinks, you can be flexible and use whatever brand you like:
  • Easy Cast
  • Art Resin
  • Clear Cast
• If you want it to work for both hot and cold drinks, you need to look for a heat-resistant resin, like these:
  • FX Poxy ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500° F.
  • Stone Coat

Directions:

1.  Prepare your resin according to the package directions.

2.  Pour resin into the star mold and add gummy bear.

3.  Let it sit for at least 12 hours before unmolding.

That’s it!  Thanks for stopping by!

Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
