Step-by-step Instructions
- Dry Brush the Angel Wings Silicone Mold
Start this project by first turning your angel wings silicone mold inside out.
Take your flat paint brush, dip it in some gold mica powder, and carefully apply the powder to the ends where the two wings meet.
Make sure that you make this part a little bold so that it stands out. For this purpose, take sufficient amounts of the gold mica powder and cover the crevices and ridges of the wings. Sufficient amounts of gold mica powder ensures that the base color does not show when your project is ready.
As you move outward, reduce the quantity of the gold mica powder applied to give the wings an effect similar to ombre. This dry brushing technique requires you to apply the mica powder directly to your silicone mold instead of mixing it into the resin epoxy mixture. This is to make sure that the desired gold effect on top creates a contrast with a different-colored base. Dry brushing the ends of the wings with gold mica is done to make the final project become more noticeable.
- Fill the Mold with Resin Mixture
Once you have dry brushed the insides of the angel wings mold, turn it back to its original shape and start filling it with your resin mixture.
For this part, you can create a marble effect by pouring grey resin mixture over white resin mixture and then pouring the new mixture into the mold without blending the two colors together.
This way, the angel wings will get a natural marble effect that will enhance its beauty. Leave the mold to dry overnight as resin can take about twenty-four hours to fully cure.
- Demold and Style
Once your mold has completely cured, you can carefully demold it.
To add a finishing touch to it, you can sand the uneven edges of the base to give it a smooth finish. Now, you can place your aluminum tea light candle in the wings to complete your majestic angel wings candle holder project made out of resin.
