DIRECTIONS:
- Start by pouring equal parts resin and resin hardener into a silicone pouring cup. Wear plastic gloves to avoid getting resin on skin. Use a popsicle stick to stir the mixture together thoroughly for at least 3-5 minutes. Let the resin sit for several minutes before immediately pouring so the bubbles rise to the top.
- Tape wooden signs to a hard plastic surface, such as plastic packaging materials. Place small objects such as beads, shells, or glitter within the letters, making sure the objects are below the top edge of the wooden sign.
- Pour the resin into the mold very slowly to avoid the formation of bubbles. Allow the resin to settle below the objects and then continue to pour, making sure to avoid the resin overflowing the letters. Add more objects to the resin if needed. Use a toothpick to mix the objects evenly throughout the resin. If the resin does overflow, use a popsicle stick to scrape the excess resin off of the top of the mold. Once mold is filled, allow resin to dry for at least 30-40 hours before removing the pieces from the mold.
