So...awhile back I got involved fell in love with resin. As with all my craft projects resin comes and goes...but I've been doing alot with resin here lately and I love seeing all the projects with dried flowers and what nots in them. So, I decided to give it a go with some scrapbook leftovers and the August Tres Jolie Mixed Media kit. The kit came with three small rectangular wooden trays and I just knew it was time to explore "putting things" into resin. Here is one of the finished projects:
I "experimented" with one tray to begin with, but after take one I was excited to make a tutorial video. The kit came with some thick pastes, one in a charcoal gray and they other in a light champagne color. For the tutorial I covered the tray in the champagne color and went to town putting embellishments to work.
I wanted to make all of the elements "float" in the final product so I took some time pour small layers of resin and layered in Renea Bouquets Beautiful beads, glitter, and a ton of other elements so that all they layers were at different levels in the finished project.
Below you can see some of the layers including beautiful beads, a small broach embellishment, and a hairpin:
I used a Renea Bouquets butterfly on both of trays I made; below you can see the one I used on the champagne colored tray:
Below you can see a close up of the flower clusters I used along with a ton of the "floating" beautiful beads combined with glitter and other what nots!
Finally, here is the original tray I experimented on:
And finally, the step-by-step tutorial video:
Thanks for watching! I hope y'all have just as much fun making whatever you're making this week as I had making this!!!
