I made this resin piece from a silicone mold. I dont know what to do with it, but it turned out great and I plan to make more, maybe some keychains or zipper pulls
Its white resin and I added black paint to the groves

Did you draw it and pour resin over it? Sorry, I am not familiar with how you do it, can you explain more. It looks super cool!

Its a mold, like an ice cube try that you pour liquid plastic in and it hardens😊
I dont think they really compare I havent used much shrinky dink though. Definitely feels stronger and is thicker

I’m sure the resin would be sturdier (although I think Shrinky Dink has an ultra-thick version that I have never tried).
I really wondered more about how the processes compared. Do you buy the resin mold with the design already in it, and then just pour the resin? I haven’t seen those type of molds around here; do you order them online? … or make them yourself somehow…? Just curious! I love learning about products and techniques, and you got a very attractive result!

Thank you, I bought the mold online, there are a ton of small shops. But to start out go look at Sophie and Toffee, they have subscription boxes that are a good intro and include everything in the box to start. They also have lots of videos and instructions using the specific box products. Instagram has a ton of people sharing as well.

Thank you for that site! It reminds me a lot of Alpha Stamps, only resin-oriented rather than papercraft.
