Tutorial - Resin Galaxy Star Jars - 3 Ways

Hey all! In this video, we will learn how to use resin, glitter, paint, and printed images to spruce up some star shaped dishes I found at the Dollar Tree. You will see three different methods in decorating the dishes, all methods using resin. I used approx 2oz of resin per dish. You may wish to use less resin, but I wanted a thicker bottom. Use these dishes to hold change, wrapped candies (I dont suggest leaving unwrapped food items for prolonged periods of time on resin), or whatever other bric-a-brac you wish to store. These were super easy to make and super inexpensive. Thanks for watching and craft happily ever after!!!

FAQ
1. What resin do you use?
I use primarily East Coast Resin (www.eastcoastresin.com). I also use Clear Cast 7000 for large pours/batches and Famowood (found at Lowes).
Envirotex and Amazing Clear Cast are great too.

2. Where do you get your glitters and stickers?
I get them everywhere. Mainly Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Amazon and Etsy also help aid my addiction. lol

3. Where do you get your molds?
Craft stores, Michaels, Storenvy, and Etsy (LOTS of great choices on Etsy).

4. Where do you live (for temperature/humidity purposes with resin)?
My home state of Indiana (Go COLTS!) though I have moved around the world/country, with my husband, for the Army.

5. How long have you been resin crafting/crafting?
I have been playing with resin for about 3 years now. As for general crafting...all of my life. :)

6. What is your favorite sealer for resin pieces?
Doming with resin is always my main preference but if not doming with resin, I like to use TreeHouse clear acrylic spray in gloss (Hobby Lobby brand) and I LOVE Americana Dura Clear gloss glaze (works great for polymer clay too).
Dura Clear can give a resin like finish when applied correctly. :)

7. How do you seal your paper stickers?
I use the tape/mod podge method as of now (the straight mod podge method is way to inconsistent). Crafterzdelights and SugarCharms808 have great tutorials. Check them out!
