More and more people are falling in love with handmade resin pieces — their shine, colors, and versatility make them unique. But what exactly is handmade resin and why is it so special? At ArtDecoregalos, we work with it every day and want to tell you all about this fascinating material.
What is handmade resin?
Handmade resin is a liquid material that, when mixed with a catalyst, hardens and transforms into a solid, shiny, and durable piece. There are different types, but the most commonly used in crafts are epoxy resin and polyester resin.
What makes handmade resin special is its ability to encapsulate elements inside — flowers, colors, glitter, wood — creating unique and unrepeatable pieces.
How is resin worked with?
- 🧪 Mixing — Resin and catalyst are combined in exact proportions
- 🎨 Coloring — Pigments, inks, or decorative elements like flowers or glitter are added
- 🧰 Pouring — Poured into molds of the desired shape
- ⏳ Curing — Left to rest for 24 to 72 hours until fully hardened
- ✨ Finishing — Sanded, polished, and varnished to achieve that characteristic shine
