Resin art is one of the most satisfying crafts you can try — glossy, colourful, and capable of stunning results even for beginners. With a good kit and a little care, you can pour your first piece at home. Here's how to start.
What Is Resin Art?
Resin art uses epoxy resin — a liquid that you mix with a hardener and pour into moulds or over surfaces. As it cures, it sets into a clear, glass-like solid. You can colour it, add glitter, or embed objects for endless creativity.
What You'll Need
- Epoxy resin and hardener — a beginner-friendly kit with the correct ratio.
- Silicone moulds — coasters, keychains, or trays.
- Pigments or colourants.
- Mixing cups and stir sticks.
- Gloves and a well-ventilated space.
Make Your First Piece in 6 Steps
- Prepare your space. Cover your surface, wear gloves, and ensure good ventilation.
- Measure precisely. Mix resin and hardener in the exact ratio on the instructions.
- Stir slowly. Mix thoroughly for the recommended time to avoid sticky spots — slow stirring reduces bubbles.
- Add colour. Stir in pigment a little at a time.
- Pour. Pour slowly into your mould and pop bubbles with a gentle pass of heat.
- Cure. Leave it undisturbed for the full cure time before unmoulding.
Beginner Tips
- Always measure the resin-to-hardener ratio precisely — guessing causes tacky results.
- Work in a warm, dust-free room for the clearest finish.
- Don't rush the cure — patience gives a hard, glossy result.
