Use them to make a fall necklace, keychain or zipper pull!
My lovely November,Have you seen my heart, somewhere in your castle of yellow leaves?
Its hard to believe that its November already!
The beautifully coloured trees have half-lost their leaves and soon will be covered in snow.
Autumn colors of yellow, red, orange and green provide tons of crafting inspiration.
And I cant get over how nicely all those tones blended together for this resin craft.
Use gloves and work in a well-ventilated area on a surface protected with plastic or newspaper
2.
Stir for 2 minutes then transfer into a second clean measuring cup.
Stir with a clean stir stick for another minute.
Divide the resin evenly into thirds in separate cups.
Mix the resin and paint together thoroughly.
Starting with the yellow-tinted resin, carefully pour a small amount into one section of each leaf mold.
Repeat with red and then orange tinted resin.Drop in alternating colors to add additional depth to the resin leaves.
After 10-15 minutes blow off any air bubbles rising to the surface of the resin using a straw.
Repeat as necessary over the next 1-2 hours.
Place the mold on a level surface and cover to keep dust from settling in.
Leave to cure at least 12 hours before proceeding to the second resin pour.
Once mixed, squirt 3-4 drops of the green acrylic paint into the resin and blend together thoroughly.
Pour the green-tinted resin into each leaf mold, covering the previously poured layers.
After 10-15 minutes blow off any air bubbles rising to the surface of the resin using a straw.
Repeat as necessary over the next 1-2 hours.
Place the mold 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).
Once completely cured, pop the resin leaves out of the silicone molds.
Drill a small pilot hole and then screw in a gold eyelet.
Repeat with the other leaves.
Link the chain onto the lobster clip keychain.
Its alright because I look forward to making another set.
I think theyll be perfect gifts with the holidays coming up.
