What is resin art?
Resin art is a beautiful creative art that is simple and doesn’t take much to learn. It involves using epoxy resin as the primary medium to create unique and vibrant designs. Resin is a synthetic material. All you have to do is mix it with a hardener. Add pigments or dyes to tint it with the colour of your choice. Pour them into moulds or baseboards to create a variety of effects. It is a popular art form because it is easy and allows for a lot of creativity and experimentation. The finished products are glossy and durable.
What are the resin art materials you need to create resin art at home?
Making resin art at home can be one of the most satisfying experiences. You'll need a few basic things to get started. Here are the materials you need to create resin art at home:
- Epoxy resin kit (includes resin and hardener)
- Mixing cups
- Stirring sticks
- Gloves
- Plastic sheet and drop cloth
- Canvas or resin moulds to pour resin onto
- Pigments or dyes of your colours
- Heat gun to remove the air bubbles

How to create resin art pieces at home?
It is simple to create resin art for beginners at home. Browse the moulds of your choice, like the t-light moulds or resin coaster moulds, or buy moulds online. Next, buy the resin art materials mentioned above. Let's get started with the steps now.
- Set up your workspace by covering it with a plastic sheet. Put on gloves to protect your skin. Keep the drop cloth ready to wipe up any mess.
- Mix the epoxy resin according to the instructions on the kit. Typically, the resin is mixed in a 1:1 ratio of resin and hardener, while some mention it as 1:2. Be sure to measure accurately and pour it into the mixing cups. Mix thoroughly with the help of stirring sticks.
- If desired, add pigments or dyes to the resin mixture to create your desired colours and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the resin mixture onto your canvas or other surface. Use a stir stick or spatula to spread the resin evenly.
- If desired, use a heat gun or torch to remove any air bubbles from the resin. Be careful not to hold the heat source too close to the resin, as this can cause it to burn or discolour.
- Allow the resin to cure according to the instructions on the kit. This typically takes 24-48 hours.
Once the resin is fully cured, you can enjoy your beautiful resin art creation.
Note: Resin art can be messy and requires careful preparation and attention to safety. Be sure to read and follow all instructions and safety precautions on the resin kit.
What are the various types of resin moulds available for resin art?
One of the most popular and quick ways to make resin art at home for beginners is by using moulds. These non-stick silicon moulds come in various shapes and sizes. Let’s explore some of the popular resin moulds and see what creative craft items you can make from them.
Resin coaster moulds
Create customised resin coasters for your home or gift them to someone special. The resin coaster moulds come in various shapes, such as round, square, hexagon, leaf, flower, irregular shapes, and other options. Pour the resin mix on these moulds and decorate them with agate, stones, sprinklers, embellishments, pine cones, small shells, and agate. The more creative you are, the better your resin coasters will turn out.
Resin tray moulds
The resin tray is another popular resin art choice for beginners. You can create decorative serving or organiser trays. They are perfect to enhance the decor in your bedroom, bathroom, or living room. You can even match the colours of the resin trays with the coasters to form a set for your dining table or coffee table. Like the coasters, unleash your creativity by decorating the resin tray mould with glitter and embellishments. Create wave patterns or marble effects and add a dash of gold or glitter in between.
