What will you need?
- Resin – epoxy resin is perfect for making ornaments due to its transparency and the ability to color or decorate it.
- Molds for Christmas ornaments – on our e-shop, you'll find a wide range of shapes, from classic balls and stars to trees and angels. Choose here.
- Colors and decorative accessories – you can add pearl powder, glitter, or gold and silver foils for a festive effect.
- Mixing containers and spatulas – for precise mixing of resin and hardener.
- Protective gloves and a scale – safety first.
Production process
- Form preparation: Ensure the mold is clean, remove any dirt with tape.
- Mixing resin: Mix the resin with the hardener according to the instructions. If you want a transparent ornament, you can pour the mixture into the mold right after mixing. If you prefer colors, add glitter, powder pigments, or a drop of dye and mix well.
💡 Weigh the resin accurately in grams and mix well. First, mix for 3 minutes in one cup, then pour it into the second cup and repeat the mixing. This ensures it is mixed thoroughly! - Pouring into the mold: Slowly pour the prepared resin into the mold to avoid bubble formation. Remove any air bubbles with a stick.
- Decorating: You can place small decorations into the resin after pouring it into the mold, such as gold and silver foil pieces, tiny pearls, or dried flowers.
- Hardening: Allow the resin to harden according to the recommended time. This can take 24 hours or longer, depending on the type of resin.
- Removing from the mold and final touches: Once the resin is fully hardened, carefully remove the ornament from the mold. Finally, thread a hook or ribbon through. If the ornament doesn't have a hole, drill one using a hand or electric drill.
