Quilling with resin designs

Hello friends,

     Let me show you something very beautiful which i enjoyed doing it.
For details on resin and its mixing method  refer here.

I have made two quilling  designs .

• For the first one , I have used 3 mm quilling strips. I have made an open heart shape using three strips ( pink colour ). Apply fevicol and allow it to dry. Make a few marquise shapes using one quilling strip( blue colour ).Select a mould ( I have taken a box cap ) which fits your quilling design. Once the resin mixture is ready , pour a thin layer of it into the mold. Then put the quilling design. Fill the mold with resin completely. Allow it to dry for 24 hours. I have used dark blue colour for the heart design resin.

• For the second one also I have used 3 mm quilling strips. I have made a flower with leaves. Here I have used yellow colour quilling strips. Make 10 tight coils each using one quilling strip. Make a single tight coil ( Brown colour ) using one quilling strip for the center of the flower. For the leaves make three to four marquise shapes using one quilling strip each. Take the mould and stick the coils ( flower and leaves ) as shown in the above picture. Pour resin and allow it to dry for 24 hours. I have used light blue colour for the flower design resin.

Use you creation and make your own designs
Happy Quilling....

Quilling with resin series

Resin Keychains

Hello friends,

Epoxy Resin is a solid or highly viscous substance of plant or synthetic origin that is typically convertible into polymers. Resins are usually mixtures of organic compounds.

The Resin contains resin and hardener which needs to be mixed as per the prescribed ratio (for the epoxy resin I have used it is 3:1 ration for resin to hardener), the casting is done from a mold of desired shape mostly made from silica , the mold is is filled with a epoxy resin mixed  and has to be left untouched , over the next 24 hours which then hardens (based on the type of resin purchase )

Epoxy Resin can be used for various art works like key chains , wall hangings , fridge magnets etc.
I have made couple of key chains to show in this blog , I got the mold and resin from Amazon before beginning this exercise .

The First step would be to make the quilling art of your choice , ensure that the art work fits into the mold easily and is not above the mold , for the current key chains I have used 3mm and 5mm quilling strips ..  I decided to go with a flower , heart and leaf for my first set of key chains .

The epoxy resin I used is by default  colorless and is crystal clear (based on type of epoxy resin you buy ) , so I have used sand color for the heart key chain and light blue for flower (again don't use any color which doesn't gel with the resin it might result in you getting stick resin work ) 

I have made a unique art work with a combination of quilling and resin. You can create you own quilling designs , put them into a mold and fill it with epoxy resin. Allow it to harden and your beautiful art work is ready. You can either make cryrstal clear or colorful transparent key chains of your choice .

Hope you all liked it.
