I got this, it seems to come with everything you need, I used different gloves though, I have those surgical blue ones in the house so I had them on, but overall everything else is there to get you started apart from the mould but I think you can get some cheap ones on amazon as well

My little letters I made, they are still a bit soft though, do they properly harden? Or do that stay like that soft gummy type? They are only a few hours off being 24h, I put them back in the mould for now incase I ruin the shape

The colour is great!!! They will fully harden. The shape will probably stay ok as long as you leave them for another day before putting the keyrings in. It should feel like hard plastic and not gummy once fully hardened. They came out great though!

Thanks, I'll leave them another day then just to be sure, and thank you was quite pleased when I took them out

Did you experience any nauseating fumes/odors from the resin? I’ve never used it before but like to try experimenting with it but I’m cautious of fumes making me feel sick or making eyes itch.

So update on this, I did notice some odors today, I guess cause I used such a small amount last time it wasn't really noticeable but today I was maybe a bigger amount, for me personally it wasn't too bad, a little smelly but nothing I couldn't deal with an it was only if I was close to it so I stayed a bit back an was fine, I guess the more you use the more your going notice it so it's maybe best to stick to small amounts first

I tried sewing but failed at it lol, I'd love to see your wok though

All the glitter fell to the bottom of the mould maybe next time I should use less, I wanted the glitter to be all spaced out inside

Just made two hanging towels for my daughter's house

 

[Snippysnips]

Those are lovely I've never heard of that before, hanging towels but I love the idea of it, it's so practical

Thank you, they are so useful if like me you never put things back where they belong. hang these over the oven door or drawer handle and there they stay.

I need to make those they look fab! Mr Fudge always leaves the tea towels all over the kitchen and never puts them back on the rail!

 

[What's your point]

I've used resin before for key rings etc...quite liked it but always found it shrunk away from the edge a little and left it looking a bit untidy. Just recently resined a table in my hubby's man cave/bar though (a wooden cable reel with bottle caps on) and that worked out really well.

Last year I got really into making wire and bead trees they are really relaxing to make but a bit fiddly till you get the hang of it.

Right now I am knitting, taught myself over Christmas and now on with a fair isle hot water bottle cover for my daughter and matching cushions for her bed. Really enjoying the knitting but cant get on with long needles so using interchangeable ones and love them. I crochet too so trying to alternate projects between both.

Spent a few nights doing this, going get a frame for it so I can hang it up, really enjoyed it an probably will get the other 3 houses as well

My first ever item I crocheted, made it for my neice, didn't think I'd fall in love with crochet as much as I have, it's really relaxing to do, kind of screwed up the sewing through but hopefully when it's on it won't be noticeable as much lol, excited to see what my neice thinks of it although she will probably just swing it about

I love the matching sets and quilt this must have taken a long time to make all of those pieces

I’m learning to sew just on the basics hopefully one day I might get to this level right now it’s just straight lines for me
