Steps to Create A DIY Resin Tray

Step 1: Prepare Your Tray

Start by cleaning and prepping your tray surface. Use a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Make sure the surface is dry before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Apply Ballet White - One Step Paint

Using the Ballet White - One Step Paint, apply a smooth and even coat to your tray. This paint is perfect for creating a durable and beautiful base layer. Allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Add Design with Copycat

Next, create a design on your tray using Copycat. This product helps you achieve intricate patterns and details with ease. Follow the instructions on the product packaging for the best results.

Step 4: Mix and Pour Acrylic Glacier Resin

Now it's time to mix the Acrylic Glacier Resin Bundle. Follow the instructions to achieve the correct consistency. Pour the resin over the tray, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Use a spatula to spread it out if necessary.

Step 5: Add Eco Powder for Effect

While the resin is still wet, sprinkle Eco Powder over the surface. This will create a beautiful, shimmering effect that catches the light and adds a touch of elegance to your tray.

Step 6: Insert Tray Handle Molds

Finally, use the Tray Handle Molds to create sturdy and stylish handles for your tray. Follow the instructions to attach them securely.

Step 7: Let it Cure

Allow the resin to cure completely. This might take several hours or overnight, depending on the product instructions. Once cured, your tray is ready to use!
