This is especially true on the beach.
Hes convinced that one tiny grain will completely ruin the lenses forever.
Luckily my camera phone does a great job to capture those special moments.
I rarely print any of them out.
In this way Ive been able to enjoy those summer vacations memories each time I see them.
Or pair them with apoured resin book boxfor a truly one of a kind and thoughtful gift idea.
Use the lid insert to trace out the images.
Cut them out with sharp scissors.
Glue the lid insert to the rim.
This is important to prevent the resin from seeping out.
This step isnt necessary if you use a one piece lid.
Glue the image into the lid.
Paint a generous layer of glue along the edges and over the image to seal it all together.
This may take several coats, especially in the edges.
Let dry completely (I left mine overnight).
Read all package instructions on theEnviroTex Lite Pour-On.
Use gloves and work in a well-ventilated area on a surface protected with plastic or newspaper.
Mix equal parts of resin and hardener in a clean measuring cup.
I used about 12 oz per coaster (3 cups total volume).
Stir for 2 minutes then transfer into a second clean measuring cup.
Stir with a clean stir stick for another minute.
Distribute the mixed resin evenly across the six lids.
Tip the lids as needed to confirm it gets into the edges of the lids.
Repeat as necessary over the next 1-2 hours.
Place the lids on a level surface and cover to keep dust from settling in.
Leave to cure overnight (24 hours for a soft cure, 72 hours for full cure).
Im so happy to have these photos on display.
So are you better than me at printing out those photos?
