Resin Geode Style Wall Clock

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• 2 Part resin
• Unfinished wood circle
• Clock kit
• Acrylic paint (various colors of choice)
• Glitter / gold flake
• Aluminum pan
• Disposable plastic cups
• Popsicle sticks (one for each color)
• Gloves
• Paper towels for clean up
• Newspaper or disposable tablecloth to protect your work surface

DIRECTIONS:

1. Using gloves and working on a protected work surface, follow the instructions on the box to mix the 2 part resin into various disposable cups. You will need one cup for each color. Mix small amounts of paint into the resin and mix with a popsicle stick to distribute the color evenly throughout the resin. Add more paint as needed.
2. Place your aluminum pan onto your work surface. You may need to bend it into more of a rounded shape to fit the wood circle. Place 2 cups, opening down, inside the pan to hold up the wood circle so it’s floating above the pan, and the pan will collect the resin runoff.
3. Once your wood circle is in place, begin pouring the resin over the wood. Layer the colors in bands and arches to create a geode look. Use inspiration if needed.
4. After all your colors are poured to create the desired look add glitter and gold flakes to the resin in bands to accent the geode look.
5. Allow to dry as directed on the package. Make sure the hole in the center of the wood is clear of resin, use a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to remove any build up so the clock pieces will easily fit once dry.
6. Once the resin is fully cured, add the clock elements as directed on the package.

JOANN HACKS:

• If the Resin hardens without cleaning out the center hole you will need to re-drill the hole with a drill and drill bit. It’s important to take the time to clean out the center hole in step 5.
