  • Welcome to Living Our Blessed Life where I like to share cooking, cleaning, crafts, and home DIY projects.
    Today I am using resin for my first time. I chose to use the Dollar Tree resin and molds and also used Dollar Tree eyeshadow in place of mica powder.
    Overall I like the finished product, but it wasn’t without flaws or issues. However, that could be due to user error. I will be using this resin again!

    Thanks for sharing this with us. I was wondering about it. Looks great for a first try 😊

    You might want to flatten your flowers or leaves before using them. You can leave them overnight in a heavy book then you have them flattened and ready to use with the epoxy.

      Thank you. I will definitely try that!

      in addition to this i would suggest "gluing" the flowers in place by pouring a very thin layer of resin and placing the flowers in, then letting it cure for a few minutes until it becomes tacky. after that you can pour the rest of the resin. it helps keep the flowers from floating, and it works on stuff like sequins/glitter as well. i have only recently begun experimenting with resin but this worked for me :)

    Thank you for trying their products. I’ve been wondering. And I wanted to know about quantities needed for each mold. Resin is pricey. Thanks again.

    • @livingourblessedlifemaggie

      I’ve not compared the price to other resins, but I felt like this project was a little pricey overall. It was fun to try though, and I will probably do it again.

    It’s a great place to start! I love Amazon and hobby lobby and sometimes Michael’s/Joann 🫶 Have fun, I wear a respirator to be safe with my 2 part resins 🙋‍♀️

    Take it from someone who is a beginner also in resin but has a little experience in epoxy resin I am currently a employee with Dollar tree and our resin has a very fast curing time so my advice for anyone who works with Dollar tree resin be sure to do add ins very quickly along with your finally pours. I made coasters with that resin an before I could finish adding layers of colorant it had already started curing

    Please use proper protective gear such as respirator and gloves. Take it from someone who has damaged lungs and only used 2 part epoxy on occassion. It certainly made my breathing condition worse.

      Yes! And there are usually at least 8 people at our house at all times so I like to have 10 of everything on hand in case an extra friend comes along!!

    You could modpodge flowers in place, then add resin.

  • @AmandainChrist88
    @AmandainChrist88 6 месяцев назад +1

    Please make sure to ventilate the area and wear gloves that stuff can be pretty harmful and apparently side effects or show up a bit later after exposure bringing confusion to as what’s causing the breathing issues .

    hello, when you sand, doesn't it make the resin opaque though?

    • @starrwilson6818
      @starrwilson6818 Год назад +1

      I believe if you buff it after, it shines it right up.

    • @livingourblessedlifemaggie
      @livingourblessedlifemaggie  Год назад +1

      I actually never ended up sanding the back of it. My daughter loved it and claimed it as hers right after it came out of the mold. But I do plan on making another one and if it needs sanded I will let you know!

      @livingourblessedlifemaggie  Год назад

      I believe it was Kingsport, TN. I picked it up before Christmas, but they still have it if I’m not mistaken. Some items can be ordered online if your local store doesn’t have them in stock.

      I didn’t know they didn’t sell this stuff in Canada 😳 you may be able to see if you can order it on their website and have it shipped, but they usually have a minimum number of items that you have to purchase.
