For me, resin crafts are a fairly new idea, but oh, the possibilities are endless. To mix your resin correctly you just mix equal parts (1:1) of epoxy resin and polyamine hardener together. Pour this mix in a silicone mold, add some paint or glitter and... ta-da - you're on your way to creating a lovely resin craft item - anything from earrings, decor, letters, names, keychains and much more.
Even though resin takes a long time to dry (usually about 24 hours), the end result makes it all worthwhile.
But let's take a look of some of the exciting crafts you can make from resin.
