Woooo hoooo I’m almost there, but not quite …….. however my new silicon trays arrived within in a week of ordering and not the two months Amazon first stated, so I am able to crack on with my learning!
This is the exact “look” I’ve had in my head along on my resin journey ……. I am so thrilled, I can’t tell you. The snow flakes are nail art embellishments from eBay.
I just need to fine tune and sort out the bubbles that formed under the glitter card I put in ……. (above)
I managed to minimise any small bubbles by using my heat gun on each new level of resin ……..but as these trays aren’t clear I wasn’t able to see any bubbles gathering underneath after I put the card in …….
…….. but from what I have gathered, I need to use a white glue on both sides of the card to seal it and then make sure it is again glued very carefully on to the “cured” hardened, resin, really taking my time, before adding the next resin layer to seal it in, if that makes sense. So, another day added to the process to make sure everything is right. This a slow process, but hopefully worth it in the end.
As I post this, I have another set of tags on the go with these modifications, fingers crossed. I think they will also use all the resin I have left, so the results will go to decide if I buy more to continue my journey ………. so, watch this space!

They turned out great! You're definitely becoming a resin expert. Will you be trying other molded shapes in the future?
These are gorgeous and could also be used a tree decotations or a pendant on a cord/chain, Tilly
