Making Adorable Cupcake Resin Charms
Sharing the tutorial for making adorable cupcake resin charms.
Ingredients
- cupcake silicone mold
- EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy
- Glitter silver, green or color of your choice
- FastCast
- Measuring cups wooden stir sticks, paper towels, gloves
- Pendant and/or keychain hardware
Instructions
The First Resin Pour
- To prepare the resin for pouring, mix equal amounts of resin and hardener in a measuring cup. Stir the two parts together for 2 minutes scraping the bottom and sides with the wooden stir stick.
- Pour the mixture into a second measuring cup and continue stirring for another minute.
- Prop your silicone cupcake mold up on one end.
- Carefully pour with mixed EasyCast resin into the bottom third of each cupcake well.
- Let the resin rest for about 15 minutes and then blow off any bubbles that rise to the surface.
- Sprinkle a layer of glitter in the colours of your choice over the resin.
- Cover and let cure overnight.
The Second Resin Pour
- For the “cup” of the cupcake, I used FastCast casting resin. Follow the instructions in the package to mix the FastCast resin.
- Turn the mold around and prop up the opposite end.
- Work quickly and pour the mixed FastCast onto the bottom third of the cupcake mold.
- Within a couple of minutes the clear FastCast resin mixture will start to turn white. The resin will be fully cured within 10 minutes and ready to move on to the next step.
The Third Resin Pour
- Finally, set the cupcake mold flat on your working surface. Mix one another small batch of the EasyCast resin and fill the cupcake molds. Blow off any air bubbles and let cure completely overnight.
Finishing the Resin Cupcake Charms
- Once fully cured remove the cupcakes from the mold.
- Drill a small hole on the top of each cupcake.
- Add in a small eyelet screw and a 10 mm jump ring.
- You can simply add the charm onto a necklace or keychain ring.
