Supplies Needed:

  • 2023 Sign Silicone Mold
  • Epoxy Resin and Hardener
  • 3 Crafting Bags of Sea Glass in Indigo Blue, Turquoise, and Purple
  • Glue
  • Paint Brush
  • Precision Tweezers
  • Resin Curing UV Flashlight
  • Fine-crushed Golden Glitter
  • Plastic Cups
  • Gloves

Step-by-step Instructions:

  • Fill the Mold with Resin

Take your 2023 silicone mold and start pouring the base layer in it. Use clear resin mixture for the first layer. Leave it for about three to four hours so it can achieve a gel like consistency. This gel-like consistency will allow the elements that you want to use for this project to stick firmly with the base layer.

  • Add the Sea Glass

Now take indigo blue, turquoise, and purple sea glass and spread them in front of you. This will make it easier for you to work with them when you will use them one piece at a time to create an exquisite pattern in your mold.

Add the Sea Glass

Use a dropper bottle to apply some UV resin with the help of a paint brush to the base layer once it has achieved the gel-like consistency.

  • Pour the Final Layer

Pour a thick resin layer mixed with fine-crushed golden glitter over the sea glass layer. Make sure that this final layer completely fills the mold to the brim. Now, leave it to cure for about twenty-four hours.
